What to do and see in Goreme, Cappadocia: The Best Tours

October 9, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

A town literally carved into the volcanic rock, Goreme is the gateway to the Goreme National Park, a vast UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses spectacular 10th- and 11th-century cave churches. The park itself is known for its chimney rock formations and is very popular with backpackers. It’s also a great area to sample Turkish cuisine and wine.

I couldn’t have asked for a better tour around Cappadocia. Samet is a word-class guide. We had a last minute schedule change, and despite virtually no notice, he was able to accommodate my group. Samet tailored the tour around our interests, ensuring that we saw exactly what we wanted. He’s extremely knowledgeable and speaks fluent English. In addition to English, he speaks Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese. Samet’s warm and welcoming demeanor made my group and I feel more comfortable. His ability to distill thousands of years of history into easy-to-follow snippets is truly remarkable. I’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone who visits Cappadocia!

My wife and I plan to go to some tour outside istanbul. But we don’t realize how to make it possible. Therefore, we have consulted with this travel agency whose service is very much appreciated. They themselves arranged everything for us such as flights, hotel reservations and even transportation services. With my wife, I enjoyed a balloon ride in Cappadocia that will haunt us for a lifetime. Trojan Horse in Troy and Pamukkale Thermal pools was very good too. Overall We had very good experience.

Gonca or rosita is a love of person, a being who loves his work and is very professional, his smile and his way of explaining us is unique, he makes us live the story, he is very affectionate and sincere. We also got a good price. We are leaving happy and in a next trip we will not hesitate to hire tours with you and always with Rosita as a guide.

There is no doubt that the best way to start your day in this region is to enjoy a 1-hour hot air balloon flight over the unique lunar-like landscape of Cappadocia. Your adventure will start approximately 1½ hours before sunrise when you are picked up from your hotel and taken to the balloon company office for registration Once the green light is given by the Turkish Civil Aviation authority, you will be taken to the designated take-off point. Here you will watch the final stages of balloon inflation before get basket. Your flight will be for approximately 1 hour as your pilot guides the balloon over the scenic valleys. As the sun rises and the golden rays of sunshine light up the unique rock formations, you will be astounded by the beauty. And to witness 100 or more other balloons sharing this moment with you is truly breath-taking. Back on the ground, enjoy a traditional champagne celebration and receive your flight certificate to remind you of your experience for years to come.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Air-conditioned vehicle, Champagne & Commemorative Certificate, 1 hour flights in Sunrise
