“Jakub was great. It's good value for money (if you go to the attractions you'll see most places cost €12 euros to get in, so having a pickup, lunch, an expert guide AND access to the sites is so worth it. We had a small group (12 ISH) which was perfect. Jacob was super knowledgeable and great at answering questions or telling you interesting facts about all the history along the way. Honestly really great tour, would highly recommend.”

“We went on the Red Tour that started around 10am. We traveled to see the sites listed and our guide was really knowledgeable. He kept us entertained, we learned a lot about the past history and the history today. The timing for each place was perfect and it was a great first day after a long 17 hours of traveling. The lunch was a huge buffet with something for everyone, vegetarian or not. My favourite part was seeing the churches and the art that is still on the caves. He told the story of Jesus' birth to the death of Jesus, which explains the paintings in the caves.”

Explore Cappadocia’s cave churches, fairy chimneys, river valley, and castle on a seven-hour small-group tour from Göreme.

“Our guide, Ömer, was quite good, but the overall tour was fairly so-so. It’s basically the Red Tour put together in about one day but it felt like we didn’t have too much time in any one place to really appreciate it. The other thing is that Cappadocia is more or less a tourist playground, with nearly everything catered to the tourist, so it was hard to feel connected to what we were seeing. In this respect, the trip to the ceramics workshop was different, and a nice little highlight.”
