Your domestic flight e-tickets will be emailed to you by the supplier three days before your departure. There is no need to print your tickets, as both the airline and the supplier accept digital copies.

Room arrangements depend on the number of travelers: 2 guests will be accommodated in a double room, while 3 guests will stay in a triple room. For groups of 4 or more, accommodations will be arranged in a suitable combination of double and/or triple rooms. Solo travelers will be provided with a single room at no additional cost. A single room supplement may apply if travelers in a group of two or more request separate single rooms.
Your hotel accommodation (Misty Cave Hotel, Zeydem Suites, or Yunak Evleri) is based on the package option selected during booking. Please select your preferred option carefully. If your chosen hotel is unavailable on your travel dates, the supplier reserves the right to substitute it with another hotel of comparable quality and standard.

Different itinerary provided than advertised

Maria_S, Dec 2023

The itinerary I got before the tour started was not the one advertised & I had to pay out of pocket for a new flight back to Istanbul & missed parts of the tour because they picked me up late. I did not get refunded for any of this. There are plenty of tour operators in Cappadocia that all offer the same tours. I would not recommend using this one.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Guest You well knows. You were not read itinerary just read the title of tour and come to Turkey. You were made yourown reservation for a dinner in Istanbul, and you requested modify the last day of itinerary after we completed all the arrangments of your trip(booked the hotel, flight tickets etc) We booked the flight tickets for planned itinerary - return to Istanbul after the tour at the evening time. After we sent you those flight tickets you said us “I have dinner reservation in Istanbul, book a new earlier flight to Istanbul for me.” We said you the amendings to trip plan can not confirm after completed the arrangments by us. (You requested that modification two days before departure date) You paid us for two ways flight tickets and requested three flight tickets. We have already booked two flight tickets and did not confirm third flight ticket. Imagine! you pays cost for two something and request three. Which company confirm that in world ? Kind Regards

Very convenient way to visit the Cappadocia if you're short on time

Alexandre_C, Apr 2022

Unfortunately our balloon ride was cancelled due to bad weather, but we were aware of this possibility and got the partial refund. If you really want the balloon ride and have time for it, you should stay longer in Cappadocia to retry every morning until weather is good, otherwise you'll need to be very lucky if you have only one shot. However, if you're short on time like I was, it's still worth going to Cappadocia even without the balloon ride, and this tour makes that very convenient! The views are amazing, the Cappadocia Hotel is awesome and has a delicious breakfast, and the camel ride is very fun. The only downside is that our tour guide was not the best we had and the van was too tight and a bit hot sometimes (the AC was not working well), but I still give it 5 stars because everything else makes up for it!

Excellent
