Review Cappadocia’s mix tour from Goreme, with fairy chimneys, pottery, Uchisar Castle, hiking, and an underground city for $59.

“We wouldn't do it again. It was not much informations given about the stops (general infos about the spots, how long we're there, when we meet again), it was mostly a rush. Only at the selling stores (3! Incl. Leather and nits, which is not in the discription) which are much overpriced we were almost locked inside and asked thousand times if we wanna buy anything. Also the restaurant isnt a good represantation of the rich and good turkish cuisine. So all in all, overpriced and i would recommend friends to do it cheaper by taxi.”

I didn’t realise how interesting this could be. While it was a long distance, it didn’t feel like it and it wasn’t hard. I would have gotten lost trying to do this on my own. The wine and cheese and snacks waiting for us at the end at Sunset Valkey was the perfect end.”
