Our officiant was absolutely delightful. She seemed as excited as we were and guided us gently through the ceremony with kindness and the sort of energy that helps settle some nerves and elevate the experience to something special! She was kind to check on how to refer to us and how to pronounce us at the end which was a very nice touch. 

Our photographer was incredible. He had a number of beautiful staging areas for photos and moved his lights around testing to get the best photos he possibly could. He gave ideas on positioning for photos as well as checking if there were any we wanted to pose for specifically (we wanted some with the pink caddy, which he duly obliged even taking his lighting set up outside!).  We received the photos on email the next morning (about 12 hours after we got married) which was very quick! 

We are extremely happy we chose The Little Vegas Chapel to get married in. The venue is so lovely and cute, the staff very friendly and organized, we were guided through the process gently and unhurried. Truly made our day as unforgettable as we hoped our wedding would be!',5.0,'2024-03-04T13:51:12Z','REV-F9bq9Qun7QzK3lLpr9QGkfzDOFlLFwK5AbI4pL2jEuw=','en','Roving33502257285','TRIPADVISOR'),('66229P4','Las Vegas Wedding at The Little Vegas Chapel','Lovely wedding','It was a lovely ceromony that we plan a few day before and this place make everything easy and friendly

Tour operator 
This is a complete tour which includes everything from start to finish. The communication of the tour operator is amazing and prompt. The logistics are all taken care of with great detail, such as airport transfers. 

Accommodations- Sedirli Konak 
The accommodations are amazing and centrally located with extremely hospitable staff. The breakfast is superb as you feel like it is prepared with love as if it was cooked by your “mom”. Fatma thank you. The management team were friendly and inviting. 

Tours
Our guide Umit was excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable, witty and passionate. It is evident that he really cares about history and culture. Thank you! 
The only drawback, hence the four and a half stars instead of five, is the “shop stops”. The cultural aspect of the stops are great but the selling part could improve. A suggestion would be to leave the guests to explore the show rooms on their own. With a constant presence of a salesperson following, one feels overwhelmed which in turn makes one want to leave. Perhaps if this was not the case, one would be more inclined to purchase.

Tour operator 
This is a complete tour which includes everything from start to finish. The communication of the tour operator is amazing and prompt. The logistics are all taken care of with great detail, such as airport transfers. 

Accommodations- Sedirli Konak 
The accommodations are amazing and centrally located with extremely hospitable staff. The breakfast is superb as you feel like it is prepared with love as if it was cooked by your “mom”. Fatma thank you. The management team were friendly and inviting. 

Tours
Our guide Umit was excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable, witty and passionate. It is evident that he really cares about history and culture. Thank you! 
The only drawback, hence the four and a half stars instead of five, is the “shop stops”. The cultural aspect of the stops are great but the selling part could improve. A suggestion would be to leave the guests to explore the show rooms on their own. With a constant presence of a salesperson following, one feels overwhelmed which in turn makes one want to leave. Perhaps if this was not the case, one would be more inclined to purchase. 
Overall, we would highly recommend booking this tour.',5.0,'2023-05-03T13:30:47Z','REV-PomRqU6gUWuJXeRTzFaReYXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Avi_H','VIATOR'),('66241P31','Pamukkale Ephesus Cappadocia Tour with Balloon Ride, ATV Safari','Excellent Itinerary and Flights but only a Half Escorted Tour','This 4 day tour was supposed to be an escorted tour for up to 15 people.   The first two days went very well.   Pick ups on time and a small group of our 6 travelers were escorted by the same guide and driver for the full two days.   It was excellent and covered all the key places in Pamakkale and Izmir.  The hotel in Kusadasi was excellent as well.    
Unfortunately, the last two days were not the same.    For our last two days in Cappadocia, we were picked up by just the regular airport shuttle for the 45 minute trip to our cave hotel.  The cave hotel accommodation was authentic and excellent.   However, for the third day, we were just added to the regular red tour itinerary with other travelers that had booked that red tour.  We stopped and picking up other travelers for the day and dropped them off as well before getting back to our hotel.   On the fourth day, it was the same for the green tour.

The hot air balloon ride was amazing and should not be missed. Even if you are afraid of heights, you do not feel scared. The gondola is large  solid and secure.  The ride is smooth, they will not launch if the weather is not good. The day tour was beautiful and interesting.  Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating.  The Hotel Cappadocia was very nice and the breakfast was a feast. The staff were very kind and attentive. 
The only complaint was the transportation back to our Istanbul hotel. After being up for 19 hours it took to long for the transportation company they booked us with to get our van to pick us up. Then he was smoking while driving the crazy streets of Istanbul.  A few of our group was already feeling ill  from being up so long and the driving. Add in the smell of cigarettes after all that and he almost had a van to clean.  Then he tried to get to our hotel by going past the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia during Ramadan.

The only complaint was the transportation back to our Istanbul hotel. After being up for 19 hours it took to long for the transportation company they booked us with to get our van to pick us up. Then he was smoking while driving the crazy streets of Istanbul.  A few of our group was already feeling ill  from being up so long and the driving.

I do not speak Russian. I told the guide Sultan who did his best but his translation from Russian to English was minimal..I was the only English person on the coach and no one spoke to me. 
I have complained to Tourmania who say the guide was bilingual . They did not get my point. The guide had me down me as Russian speaking. His translations on learning I could not were minimal. All he was bothered about was selling extras. There was no effort to transfer me to the correct trip for English speakers. There was no refund offered.

After getting dropped off at the wrong hotel, I found my way back and was able to catch a traditional turkish breakfast at the hotel which is included. We had another awesome guide name Bidom(?) as our guide for the Green tour. We also visited Pigeon Valley again which was cool because I spent time in a different area and Goreme Panorama. We also visited Derinkuyu Underground City which was so cool and amazing. We visited Selime Monastery which was a very steep hike but beautiful especially the views; and Ihlara Valley in which we had lunch at a restaurant right off the river which was included. The food was delicious. Our guide was awesome and was very informative at every place we visited. Once the tour was over I was dropped off back at my hotel to wait for pick up to take me to the airport. Once I landed in Istanbul I had another transportation back to my hotel. Absolutely amazing experience. I wish it was an extra day added for a morning to watch the balloons from the ground up and to also ride the ATV\'S or camels or horses and visit winery\'s and shops that sells rugs haha.

If anyone is looking for a great time with easy travel arrangements. I highly recommend this company and tour. This was the highlight of my trip to Turkey — the communication between each tour activity, drivers, pick up, airport transfers,and hotel management was awesome. The camel ride, the hot air balloon, the cave hotel, and the tour around the city 100/10! The management at the cave hotel were so nice and accommodating!

If anyone is looking for a great time with easy travel arrangements. I highly recommend this company and tour. This was the highlight of my trip to Turkey — the communication between each tour activity, drivers, pick up, airport transfers,and hotel management was awesome. The camel ride, the hot air balloon, the cave hotel, and the tour around the city 100/10! The management at the cave hotel were so nice and accommodating!

Everything ran smoothly. Like no issues-well except for the one time the driver dropped me off at the wrong hotel after the balloon ride. I told him it didn\'t look like my hotel but he insisted. But besides from that everything was perfect. I was picked up from my hotel in Istanbul and dropped off at the airport. I was picked up once I landed. Took an hour drive directly to start the red tour. I had a great tour guide name Torgor(?) I just remember him saying his name sounds like tour guide lol. His energy was amazing and he was just filled with so much historical information. We visited Pigeon Valley, Goreme Open Air Museum, Cavusin, Devrent Valley. We saw Pasabag, Fairy Chimneys and Love Valley. We had an air conditioner van to take us from place to place. We visited Avanos to a Ceramic Pottery shop. It was cool I was able to get hands on and make pottery out of red clay. We stopped by a nearby restaurant to have lunch which was included. We were done with the tour by 4pm. I stayed in Cappadocia View Hotel. It was ok and basic. The roof top has very beautiful views of everything. With free time I booked a Turkish dinner dance performance in a cave which I highly suggest. The next morning by 430am was picked up for the air balloon tour. This experience was completely amazing. After getting dropped off at the wrong hotel, I found my way back and was able to catch a traditional turkish breakfast at the hotel which is included. We had another awesome guide name Bidom(?) as our guide for the Green tour. We also visited Pigeon Valley again which was cool because I spent time in a different area and Goreme Panorama. We also visited Derinkuyu Underground City which was so cool and amazing. We visited Selime Monastery which was a very steep hike but beautiful especially the views; and Ihlara Valley in which we had lunch at a restaurant right off the river which was included.

Day 3 felt wasted','Things to be done better:
Day 3 was a wasted day for us - we left at 0345 only to arrive in Cappadocia at midday with nothing else on our itinerary. Could have had another nice morning at our great hotel with a delightful breakfast, but instead felt rushed to leave and wasted a whole day of touring.

However, our hosts/guides Rose and Mert made this tour sensational (see below)!

Ephesus:
Our private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days.

On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own.

The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable.

On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose\'s favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour

We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse.

The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you\'d be in love.
Just not my thing.

House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us.

The lunch on this day was a buffet - the food was pretty average compared to the day before.

Overall wonderful and our tour guide Rose deserves all the praise in the world

Capaddocia:
10/10 
It was great to have a tour by not only a local but someone obsessed and passionate about his own culture and history. 
We got to see so many amazing places including 
Balloon rides: once in a lifetime experience of viewing cappadocia and all its beauty from the sky.

Lovevalley: Now this wasnt part of the tour, but we wanted to go watch the sunrise with the baloons, Mert the tour guide went the extra mile to take us at 5am! I also got engaged here which was unforgetable and he helped us get amazing memories by capturing the whole thing! We were very grateful.

Under ground cities: If you ask me, the ancient people of this civilisation were more talented then people of today. This was unforgettable and so cool to see how they managed to build this liveable underground city! They thought of everything: water, heating, air circulation and even animals for an alarm system!

Illara valley: Beautiful hike next to a stream, extremely peaceful and serene. The rest point provided great traditional pancakes and resting by the river which waa great to rest our feet. St George\'s church was unique amongst the others in the valley, with the old artwork still preserved

Jewellery store: I personally love jewellery and it was great to see and learn about the natural stone of zultanite.

Imagination valley: a beautiful view where your imagination goes wild, sort of like watching the clouds but they are rocks.

Open air museum: This was very special to us being of the catholic faith, we got to see some amazing ancient churches out in the caves and see where the ancient christians had to hide.

Uchisar castle: a beautiful view with a taste of pistachio coffee, and also enjoyed a jam session with Mert who showed off his talented guitar skills while we sang along. 

Food:
Both lunches were amazing with traditional flavours and cooking, was great to be served what the locals eat and all their great flavours.  

Overall: Cappadocia from every angle is beautiful, so many different layers to its unique landscape, this was a view that I had never seen before or even imagined

Tour guide: Mert was sensational, he took his time to explain all the history, he answered all our questions, went the extra mile and made it such an enjoyable trip for us both. Speaks English very well, along with knowing Russian and hopefully Spanish by the end of this year

The driver was very nice and kept us safe, never felt like we were in danger. Super professional and looks like a football player - lets see if you can guess which one :p

Overall: Love love love, could not recomend this highly enough, BOOK THIS TOUR and these tour guides!',4.0,'2023-09-06T15:03:34Z','REV-yKLJNSfQEI/9aM73QhiUkoXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Jonathan_T','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Cappadocia, Cotton castle and Euphesus solo','Went Eastwards.

Cappadocia - did the balloon ride  . It was OK . The view was spectacular but I think more fun than that was waiting in the dark and watching the balloons come to life! It was beautiful. Hot air balloon ride , ticked off my list

Pamukkale - Cotton Castle - really touristy even though was there in Nov. Hotel was walking distance to one of the entrances and thank god I used this. The moment you enter , you take off your shoes and walk on the walk travestines , upwards. It was really fun. Water was cold at first almost numbing my feet but got warmer the higher I went. Only a family of 3 besides me doing this. It seems everyone else , busloads of tourists and those coming by car use the other entrance.  Great , had the travestines all to myself till I hit the top. Skipped swimming in the pools.   130TRY and so many people in the pool! had time so arranged to go paragliding. Was fun! Spent a good amount of time in the air . 
Euphesus - Stayed in Selcuk and no regrets! Small , quiet town yet getting to Euphesus was  breeze. Took a dolmus both ways. Euphesus was so worth it! Don\'t miss the terrace houses (extra 80TRY) but great way to get a glimpse into how people lived . managed to do Euphesus and Sirince on the same day.',4.0,'2022-12-01T00:55:29Z','REV-F6B59rwVtHeU12+4wfFPXJABxl5ZKQznSKwb3E0t9nw=','en','S_Shah910','TRIPADVISOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Relaxed pace tour but not for everyone','Itinerary: 
Day 1- Hotel pick-up to airport. Upon arrival, was picked up then straight to visit Pamukkale which was awesome. Afterwards, we were driven to our hotel
In Kusadasi. 

Day 2- visited ancient city of Ephesus and Temple of Artemis. 

Day 3- full day transfer to Cappadocia :( 

Day 4- Cappadocia Green Tour 

Day 5- Cappadocia Red Tour. 

Good points: 
-all the hotels book were really great. Clean, comfortable, and good locations 
-the coordination with pick-up, drop-offs were arranged really well 
-the emergency contact was very responsive and helpful 
-Breakfast at the hotels were great. The breakfast in The Cappadocia Hotel was phenomenal. 

Downside
-there was just too many downtime especially in Day 1–2. We started the tours at around 9-9:30 and would finish at 2pm-2:30pm. This was including looking at the sites and random visits to cultural stores (i.e. Turkish Delight, ceramics, etc) and a LOT of car ride. 
-our first guide in Day 1-2 was informative but felt he was rushing the entire tour to finish early. We were given only 15-20mins to wander around, which was a shame because it wasn’t enough to take in the beauty of the sites. Also did not see the Necropolis. Hmm wish they added another site St. John’s Basilica which was right beside the Temple of Artemis. 
-for Day 3, our flight was at noon. Wish that we were  booked an earlier flight so we can arrive in Cappadocia earlier. 
 -Day 4-5 was really nice. Tour guide, Bush, paced it well. Only comment was probably not enough time to explore the Uchisar Castle. But this was understandable as I don’t think she expected my companion to want to hike up the steep slopes. 

I think the quality and pace of the tour is really dependent on the Tour Guide.

Overall, this tour package would be good for those who want a very relaxed trip and who can spend more time in Turkey. The 5 days could probably be condensed to maybe 3-4days but this would have been a hectic and exhausting schedule. Was still a good experience and all the sites were mind blowing.',3.0,'2022-11-04T00:22:32Z','REV-EwpnpEwAtaRzLG5a0Slz8oXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','GillianT','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Ata is a bad guide.  Ozman is a good guide.  Tour Operator wants your money but too much on selling crafts than history','This was a 5 day trip broken into two very unequal parts.  The first part was a 2 day trip in Kusadasi/Parmukkale and Ephesis with guide Ata.  Ata was not good.  He complained of being tired and yelled at me for asking to skip shopping to add another site--which was right next door to a site we were already visiting.  We were upgraded to a private tour, without asking for it.  In hindsight, this was a mistake, as Ata, or so the tour operator hypothesized, might have resented not having many people (fewer tips?).  The Tour operator said he got good reviews from other clients; my search of travel sites don\'t show this.  All in all--if you get Ata, make sure you stay on his good side, if you can find it.  Specifics: the hieropolis buggies were \"too expensive\"; the Cleopatra Pool--waste of money; The far half of Hieropolis \"a long walk\" (ironically, not true on a buggy).  All in all, he said--it is at our pace, suggested really short amounts of time and rushed us to the next place to sell us crafts.  He even told us background information in the car for one attraction to save time, supposedly.  He should seek employment in another field--9 years doing it with the last 4 a bit light (covid and some other reason unclear).  

In the middle of our 5 days, we had a free day.  This was due to a flight change.  We filled that on our own.  This also changed our hotels from 2 days at the Illada Avantguard to one and Hotel Cappadocia from 2 to 3.  This change could not have made us happier!  The Illada was a nice hotel, but the city view when we could have had a sea view was vexing.  We heard from the tour operator that their clients usually do not get even a city view--it was a nice view, but certainly not a city view--which we would have paid extra for if the tour operator had given the option--we booked MONTHS in advance and easily did so before the hotel filled.  Hotel Cappadocia was a bit hot and had no pool.  However, they provided a fan and the views and experience more than made up for the lack of pool.  The three people who run the place and their staff were so friendly and helpful.  The Turkish Breakfasts each morning were very similar each day but different enough to get us through 3 mornings without a feeling of monotony.  THE VIEW!!  WOW!

The tours were led by Ozman.  Very nice.  Very helpful.  Took photos.  Had a dry and a bit warped sense of humor.  It was clear that he knew he was going to try to get us to buy things in the arts and crafts places, but he did not insist on our participation and made sure we were hydrated from these places and brought water into the van (contrast this with ATA). 

We enjoyed the balloon ride.  The tour operator upped the price 90 dollars each or demanded we cancel and rebook (at a new price).

So, keep in mind that it is actually 4 days, not 5. Cappadocia is also a little boring and we had way too many car rides dropping off people we weren\'t with.

You can definitely do better if you get a private tour (not very pricey if contacting turkish travel agency directly), but for something available from Viator, it\'s not bad.

Not going to bore you with the details, just the highlights:

Cappadocia - a lot of landscapes and 4-hour per day tours or so. You will be dragged to many local stores, don\'t buy anything, it\'s horribly overpriced. Get the hot air balloon flight, it\'s the best. Underground city is also worth a visit, if you get the choice of underground city, ask for the biggest.

Kusadasi - no tours happen here, but you will be in a hotel in the city. It\'s a resort city and it\'s absolutely charming. Plenty of good food and good drink. There\'s a number of relaxed shisha bars nearby. I am huge fan of the Leila cafe a couple blocks away for shisha and sunset views. And across, there is a shopping mall, check out the brand Avva for men there, absolutely the best.

Ephesus - Wow! Just wow. If you\'re a history buff, especially. Blows Rome out of the water. Not even going to say more, just the best day.

Pamukkale - Wow! Again, it\'s an amazing site. Our tour guide was kind enough to arrange an optional parachute ride, which flies right over the ruins and the flats. The best part of the trip for me.

Hassan was our tour guide for the first two days in Pamukkale and Ephesus and was very hands on, walking with us throughout the tour whilst giving us interesting information on the sites we passed through. Usman took us around for the last two days and he gave us plenty of free time to explore the sites in Cappadocia by ourselves. 

There were 6 of us in the tour group and 4 stayed in Ilayda Avantgarde whilst we stayed in Hotel Derici in Kusadasi. Our Hotel (Derici) was super old and definitely not the same value as Ilayda Avantgarde which was right next door.

Day 3 felt wasted','Things to be done better:
Day 3 was a wasted day for us - we left at 0345 only to arrive in Cappadocia at midday with nothing else on our itinerary. Could have had another nice morning at our great hotel with a delightful breakfast, but instead felt rushed to leave and wasted a whole day of touring.

However, our hosts/guides Rose and Mert made this tour sensational (see below)!

Ephesus:
Our private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days.

On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own.

The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable.

On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose\'s favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour

We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse.

The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you\'d be in love.
Just not my thing.

House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us.

The lunch on this day was a buffet - the food was pretty average compared to the day before.

Overall wonderful and our tour guide Rose deserves all the praise in the world

Capaddocia:
10/10 
It was great to have a tour by not only a local but someone obsessed and passionate about his own culture and history. 
We got to see so many amazing places including 
Balloon rides: once in a lifetime experience of viewing cappadocia and all its beauty from the sky.

Lovevalley: Now this wasnt part of the tour, but we wanted to go watch the sunrise with the baloons, Mert the tour guide went the extra mile to take us at 5am! I also got engaged here which was unforgetable and he helped us get amazing memories by capturing the whole thing! We were very grateful.

Under ground cities: If you ask me, the ancient people of this civilisation were more talented then people of today. This was unforgettable and so cool to see how they managed to build this liveable underground city! They thought of everything: water, heating, air circulation and even animals for an alarm system!

Illara valley: Beautiful hike next to a stream, extremely peaceful and serene. The rest point provided great traditional pancakes and resting by the river which waa great to rest our feet. St George\'s church was unique amongst the others in the valley, with the old artwork still preserved

Jewellery store: I personally love jewellery and it was great to see and learn about the natural stone of zultanite.

Imagination valley: a beautiful view where your imagination goes wild, sort of like watching the clouds but they are rocks.

Open air museum: This was very special to us being of the catholic faith, we got to see some amazing ancient churches out in the caves and see where the ancient christians had to hide.

Uchisar castle: a beautiful view with a taste of pistachio coffee, and also enjoyed a jam session with Mert who showed off his talented guitar skills while we sang along. 

Food:
Both lunches were amazing with traditional flavours and cooking, was great to be served what the locals eat and all their great flavours.  

Overall: Cappadocia from every angle is beautiful, so many different layers to its unique landscape, this was a view that I had never seen before or even imagined

Tour guide: Mert was sensational, he took his time to explain all the history, he answered all our questions, went the extra mile and made it such an enjoyable trip for us both. Speaks English very well, along with knowing Russian and hopefully Spanish by the end of this year

The driver was very nice and kept us safe, never felt like we were in danger. Super professional and looks like a football player - lets see if you can guess which one :p

Overall: Love love love, could not recomend this highly enough, BOOK THIS TOUR and these tour guides!',4.0,'2023-09-06T15:03:34Z','REV-yKLJNSfQEI/9aM73QhiUkoXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Jonathan_T','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Cappadocia, Cotton castle and Euphesus solo','Went Eastwards.

Cappadocia - did the balloon ride  . It was OK . The view was spectacular but I think more fun than that was waiting in the dark and watching the balloons come to life! It was beautiful. Hot air balloon ride , ticked off my list

Pamukkale - Cotton Castle - really touristy even though was there in Nov. Hotel was walking distance to one of the entrances and thank god I used this. The moment you enter , you take off your shoes and walk on the walk travestines , upwards. It was really fun. Water was cold at first almost numbing my feet but got warmer the higher I went. Only a family of 3 besides me doing this. It seems everyone else , busloads of tourists and those coming by car use the other entrance.  Great , had the travestines all to myself till I hit the top. Skipped swimming in the pools.   130TRY and so many people in the pool! had time so arranged to go paragliding. Was fun! Spent a good amount of time in the air . 
Euphesus - Stayed in Selcuk and no regrets! Small , quiet town yet getting to Euphesus was  breeze. Took a dolmus both ways. Euphesus was so worth it! Don\'t miss the terrace houses (extra 80TRY) but great way to get a glimpse into how people lived . managed to do Euphesus and Sirince on the same day.',4.0,'2022-12-01T00:55:29Z','REV-F6B59rwVtHeU12+4wfFPXJABxl5ZKQznSKwb3E0t9nw=','en','S_Shah910','TRIPADVISOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Relaxed pace tour but not for everyone','Itinerary: 
Day 1- Hotel pick-up to airport. Upon arrival, was picked up then straight to visit Pamukkale which was awesome. Afterwards, we were driven to our hotel
In Kusadasi. 

Day 2- visited ancient city of Ephesus and Temple of Artemis. 

Day 3- full day transfer to Cappadocia :( 

Day 4- Cappadocia Green Tour 

Day 5- Cappadocia Red Tour. 

Good points: 
-all the hotels book were really great. Clean, comfortable, and good locations 
-the coordination with pick-up, drop-offs were arranged really well 
-the emergency contact was very responsive and helpful 
-Breakfast at the hotels were great. The breakfast in The Cappadocia Hotel was phenomenal. 

Downside
-there was just too many downtime especially in Day 1–2. We started the tours at around 9-9:30 and would finish at 2pm-2:30pm. This was including looking at the sites and random visits to cultural stores (i.e. Turkish Delight, ceramics, etc) and a LOT of car ride. 
-our first guide in Day 1-2 was informative but felt he was rushing the entire tour to finish early. We were given only 15-20mins to wander around, which was a shame because it wasn’t enough to take in the beauty of the sites. Also did not see the Necropolis. Hmm wish they added another site St. John’s Basilica which was right beside the Temple of Artemis. 
-for Day 3, our flight was at noon. Wish that we were  booked an earlier flight so we can arrive in Cappadocia earlier. 
 -Day 4-5 was really nice. Tour guide, Bush, paced it well. Only comment was probably not enough time to explore the Uchisar Castle. But this was understandable as I don’t think she expected my companion to want to hike up the steep slopes. 

I think the quality and pace of the tour is really dependent on the Tour Guide.

Overall, this tour package would be good for those who want a very relaxed trip and who can spend more time in Turkey. The 5 days could probably be condensed to maybe 3-4days but this would have been a hectic and exhausting schedule. Was still a good experience and all the sites were mind blowing.',3.0,'2022-11-04T00:22:32Z','REV-EwpnpEwAtaRzLG5a0Slz8oXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','GillianT','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Ata is a bad guide.  Ozman is a good guide.  Tour Operator wants your money but too much on selling crafts than history','This was a 5 day trip broken into two very unequal parts.  The first part was a 2 day trip in Kusadasi/Parmukkale and Ephesis with guide Ata.  Ata was not good.  He complained of being tired and yelled at me for asking to skip shopping to add another site--which was right next door to a site we were already visiting.  We were upgraded to a private tour, without asking for it.  In hindsight, this was a mistake, as Ata, or so the tour operator hypothesized, might have resented not having many people (fewer tips?).  The Tour operator said he got good reviews from other clients; my search of travel sites don\'t show this.  All in all--if you get Ata, make sure you stay on his good side, if you can find it.  Specifics: the hieropolis buggies were \"too expensive\"; the Cleopatra Pool--waste of money; The far half of Hieropolis \"a long walk\" (ironically, not true on a buggy).  All in all, he said--it is at our pace, suggested really short amounts of time and rushed us to the next place to sell us crafts.  He even told us background information in the car for one attraction to save time, supposedly.  He should seek employment in another field--9 years doing it with the last 4 a bit light (covid and some other reason unclear).  

In the middle of our 5 days, we had a free day.  This was due to a flight change.  We filled that on our own.  This also changed our hotels from 2 days at the Illada Avantguard to one and Hotel Cappadocia from 2 to 3.  This change could not have made us happier!  The Illada was a nice hotel, but the city view when we could have had a sea view was vexing.  We heard from the tour operator that their clients usually do not get even a city view--it was a nice view, but certainly not a city view--which we would have paid extra for if the tour operator had given the option--we booked MONTHS in advance and easily did so before the hotel filled.  Hotel Cappadocia was a bit hot and had no pool.  However, they provided a fan and the views and experience more than made up for the lack of pool.  The three people who run the place and their staff were so friendly and helpful.  The Turkish Breakfasts each morning were very similar each day but different enough to get us through 3 mornings without a feeling of monotony.  THE VIEW!!  WOW!

The tours were led by Ozman.  Very nice.  Very helpful.  Took photos.  Had a dry and a bit warped sense of humor.  It was clear that he knew he was going to try to get us to buy things in the arts and crafts places, but he did not insist on our participation and made sure we were hydrated from these places and brought water into the van (contrast this with ATA). 

We enjoyed the balloon ride.  The tour operator upped the price 90 dollars each or demanded we cancel and rebook (at a new price).  He claimed it was the operators refusing to honor the agreed price.  This would not work in US contracts.  However, the economic hardship and inflation in Turkey made us suck it up and pay.  It is expensive anyway.  Worth it?  maybe.  If you have the opportunity, why not.

Day 3 was a wasted day for us - we left at 0345 only to arrive in Cappadocia at midday with nothing else on our itinerary. Could have had another nice morning at our great hotel with a delightful breakfast, but instead felt rushed to leave and wasted a whole day of touring.

However, our hosts/guides Rose and Mert made this tour sensational (see below)!

Ephesus:
Our private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days.

On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own.

The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable.

On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose\'s favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour

We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse.

The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you\'d be in love.
Just not my thing.

House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us.

The lunch on this day was a buffet - the food was pretty average compared to the day before.

Overall wonderful and our tour guide Rose deserves all the praise in the world

Capaddocia:
10/10 
It was great to have a tour by not only a local but someone obsessed and passionate about his own culture and history. 
We got to see so many amazing places including 
Balloon rides: once in a lifetime experience of viewing cappadocia and all its beauty from the sky.

Lovevalley: Now this wasnt part of the tour, but we wanted to go watch the sunrise with the baloons, Mert the tour guide went the extra mile to take us at 5am! I also got engaged here which was unforgetable and he helped us get amazing memories by capturing the whole thing! We were very grateful.

Under ground cities: If you ask me, the ancient people of this civilisation were more talented then people of today. This was unforgettable and so cool to see how they managed to build this liveable underground city! They thought of everything: water, heating, air circulation and even animals for an alarm system!

Illara valley: Beautiful hike next to a stream, extremely peaceful and serene. The rest point provided great traditional pancakes and resting by the river which waa great to rest our feet. St George\'s church was unique amongst the others in the valley, with the old artwork still preserved

Jewellery store: I personally love jewellery and it was great to see and learn about the natural stone of zultanite.

Imagination valley: a beautiful view where your imagination goes wild, sort of like watching the clouds but they are rocks.

Open air museum: This was very special to us being of the catholic faith, we got to see some amazing ancient churches out in the caves and see where the ancient christians had to hide.

Uchisar castle: a beautiful view with a taste of pistachio coffee, and also enjoyed a jam session with Mert who showed off his talented guitar skills while we sang along. 

Food:
Both lunches were amazing with traditional flavours and cooking, was great to be served what the locals eat and all their great flavours.  

Overall: Cappadocia from every angle is beautiful, so many different layers to its unique landscape, this was a view that I had never seen before or even imagined

Tour guide: Mert was sensational, he took his time to explain all the history, he answered all our questions, went the extra mile and made it such an enjoyable trip for us both. Speaks English very well, along with knowing Russian and hopefully Spanish by the end of this year

The driver was very nice and kept us safe, never felt like we were in danger. Super professional and looks like a football player - lets see if you can guess which one :p

Cappadocia - did the balloon ride  . It was OK . The view was spectacular but I think more fun than that was waiting in the dark and watching the balloons come to life! It was beautiful. Hot air balloon ride , ticked off my list

Pamukkale - Cotton Castle - really touristy even though was there in Nov. Hotel was walking distance to one of the entrances and thank god I used this.

Euphesus - Stayed in Selcuk and no regrets! Small , quiet town yet getting to Euphesus was  breeze. Took a dolmus both ways. Euphesus was so worth it!

Day 4- Cappadocia Green Tour 

Day 5- Cappadocia Red Tour. 

Good points: 
-all the hotels book were really great. Clean, comfortable, and good locations 
-the coordination with pick-up, drop-offs were arranged really well 
-the emergency contact was very responsive and helpful 
-Breakfast at the hotels were great. The breakfast in The Cappadocia Hotel was phenomenal. 

Downside
-there was just too many downtime especially in Day 1–2. We started the tours at around 9-9:30 and would finish at 2pm-2:30pm. This was including looking at the sites and random visits to cultural stores (i.e. Turkish Delight, ceramics, etc) and a LOT of car ride. 
-our first guide in Day 1-2 was informative but felt he was rushing the entire tour to finish early. We were given only 15-20mins to wander around, which was a shame because it wasn’t enough to take in the beauty of the sites. Also did not see the Necropolis. Hmm wish they added another site St. John’s Basilica which was right beside the Temple of Artemis. 
-for Day 3, our flight was at noon. Wish that we were  booked an earlier flight so we can arrive in Cappadocia earlier. 
 -Day 4-5 was really nice. Tour guide, Bush, paced it well. Only comment was probably not enough time to explore the Uchisar Castle. But this was understandable as I don’t think she expected my companion to want to hike up the steep slopes. 

I think the quality and pace of the tour is really dependent on the Tour Guide.

Overall, this tour package would be good for those who want a very relaxed trip and who can spend more time in Turkey. The 5 days could probably be condensed to maybe 3-4days but this would have been a hectic and exhausting schedule. Was still a good experience and all the sites were mind blowing.',3.0,'2022-11-04T00:22:32Z','REV-EwpnpEwAtaRzLG5a0Slz8oXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','GillianT','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Ata is a bad guide.  Ozman is a good guide.  Tour Operator wants your money but too much on selling crafts than history','This was a 5 day trip broken into two very unequal parts.  The first part was a 2 day trip in Kusadasi/Parmukkale and Ephesis with guide Ata.  Ata was not good.  He complained of being tired and yelled at me for asking to skip shopping to add another site--which was right next door to a site we were already visiting.  We were upgraded to a private tour, without asking for it.  In hindsight, this was a mistake, as Ata, or so the tour operator hypothesized, might have resented not having many people (fewer tips?).  The Tour operator said he got good reviews from other clients; my search of travel sites don\'t show this.  All in all--if you get Ata, make sure you stay on his good side, if you can find it.  Specifics: the hieropolis buggies were \"too expensive\"; the Cleopatra Pool--waste of money; The far half of Hieropolis \"a long walk\" (ironically, not true on a buggy).  All in all, he said--it is at our pace, suggested really short amounts of time and rushed us to the next place to sell us crafts.  He even told us background information in the car for one attraction to save time, supposedly.  He should seek employment in another field--9 years doing it with the last 4 a bit light (covid and some other reason unclear).  

In the middle of our 5 days, we had a free day.  This was due to a flight change.  We filled that on our own.  This also changed our hotels from 2 days at the Illada Avantguard to one and Hotel Cappadocia from 2 to 3.  This change could not have made us happier!  The Illada was a nice hotel, but the city view when we could have had a sea view was vexing.  We heard from the tour operator that their clients usually do not get even a city view--it was a nice view, but certainly not a city view--which we would have paid extra for if the tour operator had given the option--we booked MONTHS in advance and easily did so before the hotel filled.  Hotel Cappadocia was a bit hot and had no pool.  However, they provided a fan and the views and experience more than made up for the lack of pool.  The three people who run the place and their staff were so friendly and helpful.  The Turkish Breakfasts each morning were very similar each day but different enough to get us through 3 mornings without a feeling of monotony.  THE VIEW!!  WOW!

The tours were led by Ozman.  Very nice.  Very helpful.  Took photos.  Had a dry and a bit warped sense of humor.  It was clear that he knew he was going to try to get us to buy things in the arts and crafts places, but he did not insist on our participation and made sure we were hydrated from these places and brought water into the van (contrast this with ATA). 

We enjoyed the balloon ride.  The tour operator upped the price 90 dollars each or demanded we cancel and rebook (at a new price).  He claimed it was the operators refusing to honor the agreed price.  This would not work in US contracts.  However, the economic hardship and inflation in Turkey made us suck it up and pay.  It is expensive anyway.  Worth it?  maybe.  If you have the opportunity, why not.

One last word on the arts and crafts places.  While I am there for the history and sites, they do serve a purpose for the tourists in summer who need a break from the heat.  The AC in the vans was meager.  If anything, think of them as a safety precaution.  DON\'T BUY ANYTHING--way overpriced.  We bought on ETSY for much less.',3.0,'2022-09-08T08:33:10Z','REV-0j74HLm/BDUmxl7C2BqG04XU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','John_H','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Great time, but a lot of time in the car and flights','So, first off, let me say that one of our days was spent entirely on moving from Cappadocia to Kusadasi. So, keep in mind that it is actually 4 days, not 5. Cappadocia is also a little boring and we had way too many car rides dropping off people we weren\'t with. However, for the price, I\'d say it\'s pretty good. You can definitely do better if you get a private tour (not very pricey if contacting turkish travel agency directly), but for something available from Viator, it\'s not bad.

Not going to bore you with the details, just the highlights:

Cappadocia - a lot of landscapes and 4-hour per day tours or so. You will be dragged to many local stores, don\'t buy anything, it\'s horribly overpriced. Get the hot air balloon flight, it\'s the best. Underground city is also worth a visit, if you get the choice of underground city, ask for the biggest.

Kusadasi - no tours happen here, but you will be in a hotel in the city. It\'s a resort city and it\'s absolutely charming. Plenty of good food and good drink. There\'s a number of relaxed shisha bars nearby. I am huge fan of the Leila cafe a couple blocks away for shisha and sunset views. And across, there is a shopping mall, check out the brand Avva for men there, absolutely the best.

Ephesus - Wow! Just wow. If you\'re a history buff, especially. Blows Rome out of the water. Not even going to say more, just the best day.

Pamukkale - Wow! Again, it\'s an amazing site. Our tour guide was kind enough to arrange an optional parachute ride, which flies right over the ruins and the flats. The best part of the trip for me.

Tour guides change between destinations, but if you meet a Kusadasi native named Mehmet, please treat him well.

Three days out of 5 had early pick up times (Day 1 airport transfer 4:20, Day 3 airport transfer 03:00, Day 4 Hot Air Balloon, 04:20). Hassan was our tour guide for the first two days in Pamukkale and Ephesus and was very hands on, walking with us throughout the tour whilst giving us interesting information on the sites we passed through. Usman took us around for the last two days and he gave us plenty of free time to explore the sites in Cappadocia by ourselves. 

There were 6 of us in the tour group and 4 stayed in Ilayda Avantgarde whilst we stayed in Hotel Derici in Kusadasi. Our Hotel (Derici) was super old and definitely not the same value as Ilayda Avantgarde which was right next door. The sound proofing was also extremely poor and we couldn\'t sleep on the 2nd night until 12am as there was a live outdoor concert right outside the hotel (wakeup call set at 2:30am for airport transfer). Also, both hotels do not provide duvets and only a small blanket (towel like material) was provided on the bed. We found a wool blanket in the cupboard but it looked like it hadn\'t been laundered so we left it.

Lunches at the restaurants were average, and always remember to check the prices of the drinks before ordering as the price list isn\'t always readily available at the table. Remember to ask the tour guides where the free toilets are as some of the historical sites will charge 2-3TL for entry per person.',5.0,'2022-07-24T11:37:58Z','REV-r/yQFDxUgIwn8svRVvzja4XU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Elmer_P','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Low Budget Tour/Poor Planning and Organization/Inexperienced','Poor Trip Planning by Tour Operator - Last minute changes to itinerary; long layovers for connecting domestic flights; we wasted one whole day just flying from Izmir to Cappadocia because they waited till the last minute to book flights and direct flights were not available or tired to cut cost. We were expected to begin tours straight from the airport at 9am after being up since 3am to catch the 7am flight from Istanbul to Cardak airport to go Pammukale and Hierapolis and then straight to Kusadasi where we stayed one night.  I would rate the hotel in Kusadasi a three start hotel at best.

Next morning we drove to Ephesus and at the end of the full day tour, we were driven to the airport at Izmir for our connecting flight to Cappadocia which was about 10hours and we were dropped off at midnight at the wrong hotel.  We finally arrived at the correct hotel, a two start hotel, at 1:30am in the morning and got to bed at 2am.  And we had to do all this with two kids.

Free day - We were provided a free day on the first day at Cappadocia, a place we had just arrived and did not know anything about.  No tour options or suggestions were provided by the tour company on what we should do that day.  We were completely left unattended.

Tour buses - It was a small group tour for us with only 8 people but the cars had little or no air-conditioning and the trip was hot and uncomfortable.  No cold water bottles were provided during our tour.

Included Lunch - These were the worst.  Large buffets with poor quality food to feed the masses and flies buzzing around. Little to no air-conditioning in the restaurants and no drinks, not even water was included with the meal. We hardly ate anything. 

Free breakfast at the hotels/room service - Again, very poor quality.  The two star hotel in Cappadocia where we stayed three nights did not provide any room service (taking out trash, changing linens, providing fresh towels, etc,) during our stay. The rooms/bathrooms were dilapidated.

 Airport transfers - Skeezy cars with poor air-conditioning infested with moths. We got back to our hotel in Istanbul around 2am.  Just bad planning overall.

Private tour and guide - After complaining to the tour company about the above, they were not able to change our accommodation but did provide us with an excellent private tour guide and properly air-conditioned car for the next two days.',2.0,'2022-07-13T16:19:26Z','REV-pDuWiuvYhHYk9cI3xbBSJYXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Shahreen_R','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Well Organized trip','The tour guides… they were fantastic.

All in all, he said--it is at our pace, suggested really short amounts of time and rushed us to the next place to sell us crafts.  He even told us background information in the car for one attraction to save time, supposedly.  He should seek employment in another field--9 years doing it with the last 4 a bit light (covid and some other reason unclear).  

In the middle of our 5 days, we had a free day.  This was due to a flight change.  We filled that on our own.  This also changed our hotels from 2 days at the Illada Avantguard to one and Hotel Cappadocia from 2 to 3.  This change could not have made us happier!  The Illada was a nice hotel, but the city view when we could have had a sea view was vexing.  We heard from the tour operator that their clients usually do not get even a city view--it was a nice view, but certainly not a city view--which we would have paid extra for if the tour operator had given the option--we booked MONTHS in advance and easily did so before the hotel filled.  Hotel Cappadocia was a bit hot and had no pool.  However, they provided a fan and the views and experience more than made up for the lack of pool.  The three people who run the place and their staff were so friendly and helpful.  The Turkish Breakfasts each morning were very similar each day but different enough to get us through 3 mornings without a feeling of monotony.  THE VIEW!!  WOW!

The tours were led by Ozman.  Very nice.  Very helpful.  Took photos.  Had a dry and a bit warped sense of humor.  It was clear that he knew he was going to try to get us to buy things in the arts and crafts places, but he did not insist on our participation and made sure we were hydrated from these places and brought water into the van (contrast this with ATA). 

We enjoyed the balloon ride.  The tour operator upped the price 90 dollars each or demanded we cancel and rebook (at a new price).  He claimed it was the operators refusing to honor the agreed price.  This would not work in US contracts.  However, the economic hardship and inflation in Turkey made us suck it up and pay.  It is expensive anyway.  Worth it?  maybe.  If you have the opportunity, why not.

One last word on the arts and crafts places.  While I am there for the history and sites, they do serve a purpose for the tourists in summer who need a break from the heat.  The AC in the vans was meager.  If anything, think of them as a safety precaution.  DON\'T BUY ANYTHING--way overpriced.  We bought on ETSY for much less.',3.0,'2022-09-08T08:33:10Z','REV-0j74HLm/BDUmxl7C2BqG04XU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','John_H','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Great time, but a lot of time in the car and flights','So, first off, let me say that one of our days was spent entirely on moving from Cappadocia to Kusadasi. So, keep in mind that it is actually 4 days, not 5. Cappadocia is also a little boring and we had way too many car rides dropping off people we weren\'t with. However, for the price, I\'d say it\'s pretty good. You can definitely do better if you get a private tour (not very pricey if contacting turkish travel agency directly), but for something available from Viator, it\'s not bad.

Not going to bore you with the details, just the highlights:

Cappadocia - a lot of landscapes and 4-hour per day tours or so. You will be dragged to many local stores, don\'t buy anything, it\'s horribly overpriced. Get the hot air balloon flight, it\'s the best. Underground city is also worth a visit, if you get the choice of underground city, ask for the biggest.

Kusadasi - no tours happen here, but you will be in a hotel in the city. It\'s a resort city and it\'s absolutely charming. Plenty of good food and good drink. There\'s a number of relaxed shisha bars nearby. I am huge fan of the Leila cafe a couple blocks away for shisha and sunset views. And across, there is a shopping mall, check out the brand Avva for men there, absolutely the best.

Ephesus - Wow! Just wow. If you\'re a history buff, especially. Blows Rome out of the water. Not even going to say more, just the best day.

Pamukkale - Wow! Again, it\'s an amazing site. Our tour guide was kind enough to arrange an optional parachute ride, which flies right over the ruins and the flats. The best part of the trip for me.

Three days out of 5 had early pick up times (Day 1 airport transfer 4:20, Day 3 airport transfer 03:00, Day 4 Hot Air Balloon, 04:20). Hassan was our tour guide for the first two days in Pamukkale and Ephesus and was very hands on, walking with us throughout the tour whilst giving us interesting information on the sites we passed through. Usman took us around for the last two days and he gave us plenty of free time to explore the sites in Cappadocia by ourselves. 

There were 6 of us in the tour group and 4 stayed in Ilayda Avantgarde whilst we stayed in Hotel Derici in Kusadasi. Our Hotel (Derici) was super old and definitely not the same value as Ilayda Avantgarde which was right next door. The sound proofing was also extremely poor and we couldn\'t sleep on the 2nd night until 12am as there was a live outdoor concert right outside the hotel (wakeup call set at 2:30am for airport transfer).

 Airport transfers - Skeezy cars with poor air-conditioning infested with moths. We got back to our hotel in Istanbul around 2am.  Just bad planning overall.

Day 3 was a wasted day for us - we left at 0345 only to arrive in Cappadocia at midday with nothing else on our itinerary. Could have had another nice morning at our great hotel with a delightful breakfast, but instead felt rushed to leave and wasted a whole day of touring.

However, our hosts/guides Rose and Mert made this tour sensational (see below)!

Ephesus:
Our private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days.

On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own.

The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable.

On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose\'s favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour

We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse.

The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you\'d be in love.
Just not my thing.

House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us.

The lunch on this day was a buffet - the food was pretty average compared to the day before.

Overall wonderful and our tour guide Rose deserves all the praise in the world

Capaddocia:
10/10 
It was great to have a tour by not only a local but someone obsessed and passionate about his own culture and history. 
We got to see so many amazing places including 
Balloon rides: once in a lifetime experience of viewing cappadocia and all its beauty from the sky.

Lovevalley: Now this wasnt part of the tour, but we wanted to go watch the sunrise with the baloons, Mert the tour guide went the extra mile to take us at 5am! I also got engaged here which was unforgetable and he helped us get amazing memories by capturing the whole thing! We were very grateful.

Under ground cities: If you ask me, the ancient people of this civilisation were more talented then people of today. This was unforgettable and so cool to see how they managed to build this liveable underground city! They thought of everything: water, heating, air circulation and even animals for an alarm system!

Illara valley: Beautiful hike next to a stream, extremely peaceful and serene. The rest point provided great traditional pancakes and resting by the river which waa great to rest our feet. St George\'s church was unique amongst the others in the valley, with the old artwork still preserved

Jewellery store: I personally love jewellery and it was great to see and learn about the natural stone of zultanite.

Imagination valley: a beautiful view where your imagination goes wild, sort of like watching the clouds but they are rocks.

Open air museum: This was very special to us being of the catholic faith, we got to see some amazing ancient churches out in the caves and see where the ancient christians had to hide.

Uchisar castle: a beautiful view with a taste of pistachio coffee, and also enjoyed a jam session with Mert who showed off his talented guitar skills while we sang along. 

Food:
Both lunches were amazing with traditional flavours and cooking, was great to be served what the locals eat and all their great flavours.  

Overall: Cappadocia from every angle is beautiful, so many different layers to its unique landscape, this was a view that I had never seen before or even imagined

Tour guide: Mert was sensational, he took his time to explain all the history, he answered all our questions, went the extra mile and made it such an enjoyable trip for us both. Speaks English very well, along with knowing Russian and hopefully Spanish by the end of this year

The driver was very nice and kept us safe, never felt like we were in danger. Super professional and looks like a football player - lets see if you can guess which one :p

Overall: Love love love, could not recomend this highly enough, BOOK THIS TOUR and these tour guides!',4.0,'2023-09-06T15:03:34Z','REV-yKLJNSfQEI/9aM73QhiUkoXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Jonathan_T','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Cappadocia, Cotton castle and Euphesus solo','Went Eastwards.

Cappadocia - did the balloon ride  . It was OK . The view was spectacular but I think more fun than that was waiting in the dark and watching the balloons come to life! It was beautiful. Hot air balloon ride , ticked off my list

Pamukkale - Cotton Castle - really touristy even though was there in Nov. Hotel was walking distance to one of the entrances and thank god I used this. The moment you enter , you take off your shoes and walk on the walk travestines , upwards. It was really fun. Water was cold at first almost numbing my feet but got warmer the higher I went. Only a family of 3 besides me doing this. It seems everyone else , busloads of tourists and those coming by car use the other entrance.  Great , had the travestines all to myself till I hit the top. Skipped swimming in the pools.   130TRY and so many people in the pool! had time so arranged to go paragliding. Was fun! Spent a good amount of time in the air . 
Euphesus - Stayed in Selcuk and no regrets! Small , quiet town yet getting to Euphesus was  breeze. Took a dolmus both ways. Euphesus was so worth it! Don\'t miss the terrace houses (extra 80TRY) but great way to get a glimpse into how people lived . managed to do Euphesus and Sirince on the same day.',4.0,'2022-12-01T00:55:29Z','REV-F6B59rwVtHeU12+4wfFPXJABxl5ZKQznSKwb3E0t9nw=','en','S_Shah910','TRIPADVISOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Relaxed pace tour but not for everyone','Itinerary: 
Day 1- Hotel pick-up to airport. Upon arrival, was picked up then straight to visit Pamukkale which was awesome. Afterwards, we were driven to our hotel
In Kusadasi. 

Day 2- visited ancient city of Ephesus and Temple of Artemis. 

Day 3- full day transfer to Cappadocia :( 

Day 4- Cappadocia Green Tour 

Day 5- Cappadocia Red Tour. 

Good points: 
-all the hotels book were really great. Clean, comfortable, and good locations 
-the coordination with pick-up, drop-offs were arranged really well 
-the emergency contact was very responsive and helpful 
-Breakfast at the hotels were great. The breakfast in The Cappadocia Hotel was phenomenal. 

Downside
-there was just too many downtime especially in Day 1–2. We started the tours at around 9-9:30 and would finish at 2pm-2:30pm. This was including looking at the sites and random visits to cultural stores (i.e. Turkish Delight, ceramics, etc) and a LOT of car ride. 
-our first guide in Day 1-2 was informative but felt he was rushing the entire tour to finish early. We were given only 15-20mins to wander around, which was a shame because it wasn’t enough to take in the beauty of the sites. Also did not see the Necropolis. Hmm wish they added another site St. John’s Basilica which was right beside the Temple of Artemis. 
-for Day 3, our flight was at noon. Wish that we were  booked an earlier flight so we can arrive in Cappadocia earlier. 
 -Day 4-5 was really nice. Tour guide, Bush, paced it well. Only comment was probably not enough time to explore the Uchisar Castle. But this was understandable as I don’t think she expected my companion to want to hike up the steep slopes. 

I think the quality and pace of the tour is really dependent on the Tour Guide.

Overall, this tour package would be good for those who want a very relaxed trip and who can spend more time in Turkey. The 5 days could probably be condensed to maybe 3-4days but this would have been a hectic and exhausting schedule. Was still a good experience and all the sites were mind blowing.',3.0,'2022-11-04T00:22:32Z','REV-EwpnpEwAtaRzLG5a0Slz8oXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','GillianT','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Ata is a bad guide.

Day 3 was a wasted day for us - we left at 0345 only to arrive in Cappadocia at midday with nothing else on our itinerary. Could have had another nice morning at our great hotel with a delightful breakfast, but instead felt rushed to leave and wasted a whole day of touring.

However, our hosts/guides Rose and Mert made this tour sensational (see below)!

Ephesus:
Our private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days.

On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own.

The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable.

On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose\'s favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour

We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse.

The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you\'d be in love.
Just not my thing.

House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us.

The lunch on this day was a buffet - the food was pretty average compared to the day before.

Overall wonderful and our tour guide Rose deserves all the praise in the world

Capaddocia:
10/10 
It was great to have a tour by not only a local but someone obsessed and passionate about his own culture and history. 
We got to see so many amazing places including 
Balloon rides: once in a lifetime experience of viewing cappadocia and all its beauty from the sky.

Lovevalley: Now this wasnt part of the tour, but we wanted to go watch the sunrise with the baloons, Mert the tour guide went the extra mile to take us at 5am! I also got engaged here which was unforgetable and he helped us get amazing memories by capturing the whole thing! We were very grateful.

Under ground cities: If you ask me, the ancient people of this civilisation were more talented then people of today. This was unforgettable and so cool to see how they managed to build this liveable underground city! They thought of everything: water, heating, air circulation and even animals for an alarm system!

Illara valley: Beautiful hike next to a stream, extremely peaceful and serene. The rest point provided great traditional pancakes and resting by the river which waa great to rest our feet. St George\'s church was unique amongst the others in the valley, with the old artwork still preserved

Jewellery store: I personally love jewellery and it was great to see and learn about the natural stone of zultanite.

Imagination valley: a beautiful view where your imagination goes wild, sort of like watching the clouds but they are rocks.

Open air museum: This was very special to us being of the catholic faith, we got to see some amazing ancient churches out in the caves and see where the ancient christians had to hide.

Uchisar castle: a beautiful view with a taste of pistachio coffee, and also enjoyed a jam session with Mert who showed off his talented guitar skills while we sang along. 

Food:
Both lunches were amazing with traditional flavours and cooking, was great to be served what the locals eat and all their great flavours.  

Overall: Cappadocia from every angle is beautiful, so many different layers to its unique landscape, this was a view that I had never seen before or even imagined

Tour guide: Mert was sensational, he took his time to explain all the history, he answered all our questions, went the extra mile and made it such an enjoyable trip for us both. Speaks English very well, along with knowing Russian and hopefully Spanish by the end of this year

The driver was very nice and kept us safe, never felt like we were in danger. Super professional and looks like a football player - lets see if you can guess which one :p

Cappadocia - did the balloon ride  . It was OK . The view was spectacular but I think more fun than that was waiting in the dark and watching the balloons come to life! It was beautiful. Hot air balloon ride , ticked off my list

Pamukkale - Cotton Castle - really touristy even though was there in Nov. Hotel was walking distance to one of the entrances and thank god I used this.

Day 4- Cappadocia Green Tour

-the coordination with pick-up, drop-offs were arranged really well 
-the emergency contact was very responsive and helpful 
-Breakfast at the hotels were great. The breakfast in The Cappadocia Hotel was phenomenal. 

Downside
-there was just too many downtime especially in Day 1–2. We started the tours at around 9-9:30 and would finish at 2pm-2:30pm. This was including looking at the sites and random visits to cultural stores (i.e. Turkish Delight, ceramics, etc) and a LOT of car ride. 
-our first guide in Day 1-2 was informative but felt he was rushing the entire tour to finish early. We were given only 15-20mins to wander around, which was a shame because it wasn’t enough to take in the beauty of the sites. Also did not see the Necropolis. Hmm wish they added another site St. John’s Basilica which was right beside the Temple of Artemis. 
-for Day 3, our flight was at noon. Wish that we were  booked an earlier flight so we can arrive in Cappadocia earlier. 
 -Day 4-5 was really nice. Tour guide, Bush, paced it well. Only comment was probably not enough time to explore the Uchisar Castle. But this was understandable as I don’t think she expected my companion to want to hike up the steep slopes. 

I think the quality and pace of the tour is really dependent on the Tour Guide.

Overall, this tour package would be good for those who want a very relaxed trip and who can spend more time in Turkey. The 5 days could probably be condensed to maybe 3-4days but this would have been a hectic and exhausting schedule. Was still a good experience and all the sites were mind blowing.',3.0,'2022-11-04T00:22:32Z','REV-EwpnpEwAtaRzLG5a0Slz8oXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','GillianT','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Ata is a bad guide.  Ozman is a good guide.  Tour Operator wants your money but too much on selling crafts than history','This was a 5 day trip broken into two very unequal parts.  The first part was a 2 day trip in Kusadasi/Parmukkale and Ephesis with guide Ata.  Ata was not good.  He complained of being tired and yelled at me for asking to skip shopping to add another site--which was right next door to a site we were already visiting.  We were upgraded to a private tour, without asking for it.  In hindsight, this was a mistake, as Ata, or so the tour operator hypothesized, might have resented not having many people (fewer tips?).  The Tour operator said he got good reviews from other clients; my search of travel sites don\'t show this.  All in all--if you get Ata, make sure you stay on his good side, if you can find it.  Specifics: the hieropolis buggies were \"too expensive\"; the Cleopatra Pool--waste of money; The far half of Hieropolis \"a long walk\" (ironically, not true on a buggy).  All in all, he said--it is at our pace, suggested really short amounts of time and rushed us to the next place to sell us crafts.  He even told us background information in the car for one attraction to save time, supposedly.  He should seek employment in another field--9 years doing it with the last 4 a bit light (covid and some other reason unclear).  

In the middle of our 5 days, we had a free day.  This was due to a flight change.  We filled that on our own.  This also changed our hotels from 2 days at the Illada Avantguard to one and Hotel Cappadocia from 2 to 3.  This change could not have made us happier!  The Illada was a nice hotel, but the city view when we could have had a sea view was vexing.  We heard from the tour operator that their clients usually do not get even a city view--it was a nice view, but certainly not a city view--which we would have paid extra for if the tour operator had given the option--we booked MONTHS in advance and easily did so before the hotel filled.  Hotel Cappadocia was a bit hot and had no pool.  However, they provided a fan and the views and experience more than made up for the lack of pool.  The three people who run the place and their staff were so friendly and helpful.  The Turkish Breakfasts each morning were very similar each day but different enough to get us through 3 mornings without a feeling of monotony.  THE VIEW!!  WOW!

The tours were led by Ozman.  Very nice.  Very helpful.  Took photos.  Had a dry and a bit warped sense of humor.  It was clear that he knew he was going to try to get us to buy things in the arts and crafts places, but he did not insist on our participation and made sure we were hydrated from these places and brought water into the van (contrast this with ATA). 

We enjoyed the balloon ride.  The tour operator upped the price 90 dollars each or demanded we cancel and rebook (at a new price).  He claimed it was the operators refusing to honor the agreed price.  This would not work in US contracts.  However, the economic hardship and inflation in Turkey made us suck it up and pay.  It is expensive anyway.  Worth it?  maybe.  If you have the opportunity, why not.

One last word on the arts and crafts places.  While I am there for the history and sites, they do serve a purpose for the tourists in summer who need a break from the heat.  The AC in the vans was meager.  If anything, think of them as a safety precaution.  DON\'T BUY ANYTHING--way overpriced.  We bought on ETSY for much less.',3.0,'2022-09-08T08:33:10Z','REV-0j74HLm/BDUmxl7C2BqG04XU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','John_H','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Great time, but a lot of time in the car and flights','So, first off, let me say that one of our days was spent entirely on moving from Cappadocia to Kusadasi. So, keep in mind that it is actually 4 days, not 5. Cappadocia is also a little boring and we had way too many car rides dropping off people we weren\'t with. However, for the price, I\'d say it\'s pretty good. You can definitely do better if you get a private tour (not very pricey if contacting turkish travel agency directly), but for something available from Viator, it\'s not bad.

Not going to bore you with the details, just the highlights:

Cappadocia - a lot of landscapes and 4-hour per day tours or so. You will be dragged to many local stores, don\'t buy anything, it\'s horribly overpriced. Get the hot air balloon flight, it\'s the best. Underground city is also worth a visit, if you get the choice of underground city, ask for the biggest.

Kusadasi - no tours happen here, but you will be in a hotel in the city. It\'s a resort city and it\'s absolutely charming. Plenty of good food and good drink. There\'s a number of relaxed shisha bars nearby. I am huge fan of the Leila cafe a couple blocks away for shisha and sunset views. And across, there is a shopping mall, check out the brand Avva for men there, absolutely the best.

Ephesus - Wow! Just wow. If you\'re a history buff, especially. Blows Rome out of the water. Not even going to say more, just the best day.

Pamukkale - Wow! Again, it\'s an amazing site. Our tour guide was kind enough to arrange an optional parachute ride, which flies right over the ruins and the flats. The best part of the trip for me.

Tour guides change between destinations, but if you meet a Kusadasi native named Mehmet, please treat him well.

Three days out of 5 had early pick up times (Day 1 airport transfer 4:20, Day 3 airport transfer 03:00, Day 4 Hot Air Balloon, 04:20). Hassan was our tour guide for the first two days in Pamukkale and Ephesus and was very hands on, walking with us throughout the tour whilst giving us interesting information on the sites we passed through. Usman took us around for the last two days and he gave us plenty of free time to explore the sites in Cappadocia by ourselves. 

There were 6 of us in the tour group and 4 stayed in Ilayda Avantgarde whilst we stayed in Hotel Derici in Kusadasi. Our Hotel (Derici) was super old and definitely not the same value as Ilayda Avantgarde which was right next door. The sound proofing was also extremely poor and we couldn\'t sleep on the 2nd night until 12am as there was a live outdoor concert right outside the hotel (wakeup call set at 2:30am for airport transfer). Also, both hotels do not provide duvets and only a small blanket (towel like material) was provided on the bed. We found a wool blanket in the cupboard but it looked like it hadn\'t been laundered so we left it.

Lunches at the restaurants were average, and always remember to check the prices of the drinks before ordering as the price list isn\'t always readily available at the table. Remember to ask the tour guides where the free toilets are as some of the historical sites will charge 2-3TL for entry per person.',5.0,'2022-07-24T11:37:58Z','REV-r/yQFDxUgIwn8svRVvzja4XU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Elmer_P','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Low Budget Tour/Poor Planning and Organization/Inexperienced','Poor Trip Planning by Tour Operator - Last minute changes to itinerary; long layovers for connecting domestic flights; we wasted one whole day just flying from Izmir to Cappadocia because they waited till the last minute to book flights and direct flights were not available or tired to cut cost. We were expected to begin tours straight from the airport at 9am after being up since 3am to catch the 7am flight from Istanbul to Cardak airport to go Pammukale and Hierapolis and then straight to Kusadasi where we stayed one night.  I would rate the hotel in Kusadasi a three start hotel at best.

Next morning we drove to Ephesus and at the end of the full day tour, we were driven to the airport at Izmir for our connecting flight to Cappadocia which was about 10hours and we were dropped off at midnight at the wrong hotel.  We finally arrived at the correct hotel, a two start hotel, at 1:30am in the morning and got to bed at 2am.  And we had to do all this with two kids.

Free day - We were provided a free day on the first day at Cappadocia, a place we had just arrived and did not know anything about.  No tour options or suggestions were provided by the tour company on what we should do that day.  We were completely left unattended.

Tour buses - It was a small group tour for us with only 8 people but the cars had little or no air-conditioning and the trip was hot and uncomfortable.  No cold water bottles were provided during our tour.

Included Lunch - These were the worst.  Large buffets with poor quality food to feed the masses and flies buzzing around. Little to no air-conditioning in the restaurants and no drinks, not even water was included with the meal. We hardly ate anything. 

Free breakfast at the hotels/room service - Again, very poor quality.  The two star hotel in Cappadocia where we stayed three nights did not provide any room service (taking out trash, changing linens, providing fresh towels, etc,) during our stay. The rooms/bathrooms were dilapidated.

 Airport transfers - Skeezy cars with poor air-conditioning infested with moths. We got back to our hotel in Istanbul around 2am.  Just bad planning overall.

Private tour and guide - After complaining to the tour company about the above, they were not able to change our accommodation but did provide us with an excellent private tour guide and properly air-conditioned car for the next two days.',2.0,'2022-07-13T16:19:26Z','REV-pDuWiuvYhHYk9cI3xbBSJYXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Shahreen_R','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Well Organized trip','The tour guides… they were fantastic.

Overall, this tour package would be good for those who want a very relaxed trip and who can spend more time in Turkey.

In the middle of our 5 days, we had a free day.  This was due to a flight change.  We filled that on our own.  This also changed our hotels from 2 days at the Illada Avantguard to one and Hotel Cappadocia from 2 to 3.  This change could not have made us happier!  The Illada was a nice hotel, but the city view when we could have had a sea view was vexing.  We heard from the tour operator that their clients usually do not get even a city view--it was a nice view, but certainly not a city view--which we would have paid extra for if the tour operator had given the option--we booked MONTHS in advance and easily did so before the hotel filled.  Hotel Cappadocia was a bit hot and had no pool.  However, they provided a fan and the views and experience more than made up for the lack of pool.  The three people who run the place and their staff were so friendly and helpful.  The Turkish Breakfasts each morning were very similar each day but different enough to get us through 3 mornings without a feeling of monotony.  THE VIEW!!  WOW!

The tours were led by Ozman.  Very nice.  Very helpful.  Took photos.  Had a dry and a bit warped sense of humor.  It was clear that he knew he was going to try to get us to buy things in the arts and crafts places, but he did not insist on our participation and made sure we were hydrated from these places and brought water into the van (contrast this with ATA). 

We enjoyed the balloon ride.  The tour operator upped the price 90 dollars each or demanded we cancel and rebook (at a new price).  He claimed it was the operators refusing to honor the agreed price.  This would not work in US contracts.  However, the economic hardship and inflation in Turkey made us suck it up and pay.  It is expensive anyway.  Worth it?  maybe.  If you have the opportunity, why not.

One last word on the arts and crafts places.  While I am there for the history and sites, they do serve a purpose for the tourists in summer who need a break from the heat.

So, keep in mind that it is actually 4 days, not 5. Cappadocia is also a little boring and we had way too many car rides dropping off people we weren\'t with. However, for the price, I\'d say it\'s pretty good. You can definitely do better if you get a private tour (not very pricey if contacting turkish travel agency directly), but for something available from Viator, it\'s not bad.

Not going to bore you with the details, just the highlights:

Cappadocia - a lot of landscapes and 4-hour per day tours or so. You will be dragged to many local stores, don\'t buy anything, it\'s horribly overpriced. Get the hot air balloon flight, it\'s the best. Underground city is also worth a visit, if you get the choice of underground city, ask for the biggest.

Kusadasi - no tours happen here, but you will be in a hotel in the city. It\'s a resort city and it\'s absolutely charming. Plenty of good food and good drink. There\'s a number of relaxed shisha bars nearby. I am huge fan of the Leila cafe a couple blocks away for shisha and sunset views. And across, there is a shopping mall, check out the brand Avva for men there, absolutely the best.

Ephesus - Wow! Just wow. If you\'re a history buff, especially. Blows Rome out of the water. Not even going to say more, just the best day.

Pamukkale - Wow! Again, it\'s an amazing site. Our tour guide was kind enough to arrange an optional parachute ride, which flies right over the ruins and the flats. The best part of the trip for me.

Three days out of 5 had early pick up times (Day 1 airport transfer 4:20, Day 3 airport transfer 03:00, Day 4 Hot Air Balloon, 04:20). Hassan was our tour guide for the first two days in Pamukkale and Ephesus and was very hands on, walking with us throughout the tour whilst giving us interesting information on the sites we passed through. Usman took us around for the last two days and he gave us plenty of free time to explore the sites in Cappadocia by ourselves. 

There were 6 of us in the tour group and 4 stayed in Ilayda Avantgarde whilst we stayed in Hotel Derici in Kusadasi. Our Hotel (Derici) was super old and definitely not the same value as Ilayda Avantgarde which was right next door. The sound proofing was also extremely poor and we couldn\'t sleep on the 2nd night until 12am as there was a live outdoor concert right outside the hotel (wakeup call set at 2:30am for airport transfer). Also, both hotels do not provide duvets and only a small blanket (towel like material) was provided on the bed.

I would rate the hotel in Kusadasi a three start hotel at best.

Next morning we drove to Ephesus and at the end of the full day tour, we were driven to the airport at Izmir for our connecting flight to Cappadocia which was about 10hours and we were dropped off at midnight at the wrong hotel.  We finally arrived at the correct hotel, a two start hotel, at 1:30am in the morning and got to bed at 2am.  And we had to do all this with two kids.

Free day - We were provided a free day on the first day at Cappadocia, a place we had just arrived and did not know anything about.  No tour options or suggestions were provided by the tour company on what we should do that day.  We were completely left unattended.

Tour buses - It was a small group tour for us with only 8 people but the cars had little or no air-conditioning and the trip was hot and uncomfortable.  No cold water bottles were provided during our tour.

Included Lunch - These were the worst.  Large buffets with poor quality food to feed the masses and flies buzzing around. Little to no air-conditioning in the restaurants and no drinks, not even water was included with the meal. We hardly ate anything. 

Free breakfast at the hotels/room service - Again, very poor quality.  The two star hotel in Cappadocia where we stayed three nights did not provide any room service (taking out trash, changing linens, providing fresh towels, etc,) during our stay. The rooms/bathrooms were dilapidated.

 Airport transfers - Skeezy cars with poor air-conditioning infested with moths. We got back to our hotel in Istanbul around 2am.  Just bad planning overall.

Private tour and guide - After complaining to the tour company about the above, they were not able to change our accommodation but did provide us with an excellent private tour guide and properly air-conditioned car for the next two days.',2.0,'2022-07-13T16:19:26Z','REV-pDuWiuvYhHYk9cI3xbBSJYXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Shahreen_R','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Well Organized trip','The tour guides… they were fantastic.

Day 3 was a wasted day for us - we left at 0345 only to arrive in Cappadocia at midday with nothing else on our itinerary. Could have had another nice morning at our great hotel with a delightful breakfast, but instead felt rushed to leave and wasted a whole day of touring.

However, our hosts/guides Rose and Mert made this tour sensational (see below)!

Ephesus:
Our private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days.

On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own.

The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable.

On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose\'s favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour

We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse.

The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you\'d be in love.
Just not my thing.

House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us.

The lunch on this day was a buffet - the food was pretty average compared to the day before.

Overall wonderful and our tour guide Rose deserves all the praise in the world

Capaddocia:
10/10 
It was great to have a tour by not only a local but someone obsessed and passionate about his own culture and history. 
We got to see so many amazing places including 
Balloon rides: once in a lifetime experience of viewing cappadocia and all its beauty from the sky.

Lovevalley: Now this wasnt part of the tour, but we wanted to go watch the sunrise with the baloons, Mert the tour guide went the extra mile to take us at 5am! I also got engaged here which was unforgetable and he helped us get amazing memories by capturing the whole thing! We were very grateful.

Under ground cities: If you ask me, the ancient people of this civilisation were more talented then people of today. This was unforgettable and so cool to see how they managed to build this liveable underground city! They thought of everything: water, heating, air circulation and even animals for an alarm system!

Illara valley: Beautiful hike next to a stream, extremely peaceful and serene. The rest point provided great traditional pancakes and resting by the river which waa great to rest our feet. St George\'s church was unique amongst the others in the valley, with the old artwork still preserved

Jewellery store: I personally love jewellery and it was great to see and learn about the natural stone of zultanite.

Imagination valley: a beautiful view where your imagination goes wild, sort of like watching the clouds but they are rocks.

Open air museum: This was very special to us being of the catholic faith, we got to see some amazing ancient churches out in the caves and see where the ancient christians had to hide.

Uchisar castle: a beautiful view with a taste of pistachio coffee, and also enjoyed a jam session with Mert who showed off his talented guitar skills while we sang along. 

Food:
Both lunches were amazing with traditional flavours and cooking, was great to be served what the locals eat and all their great flavours.  

Overall: Cappadocia from every angle is beautiful, so many different layers to its unique landscape, this was a view that I had never seen before or even imagined

Tour guide: Mert was sensational, he took his time to explain all the history, he answered all our questions, went the extra mile and made it such an enjoyable trip for us both. Speaks English very well, along with knowing Russian and hopefully Spanish by the end of this year

The driver was very nice and kept us safe, never felt like we were in danger. Super professional and looks like a football player - lets see if you can guess which one :p

Cappadocia - did the balloon ride  . It was OK . The view was spectacular but I think more fun than that was waiting in the dark and watching the balloons come to life! It was beautiful. Hot air balloon ride , ticked off my list

Pamukkale - Cotton Castle - really touristy even though was there in Nov. Hotel was walking distance to one of the entrances and thank god I used this. The moment you enter , you take off your shoes and walk on the walk travestines , upwards. It was really fun. Water was cold at first almost numbing my feet but got warmer the higher I went. Only a family of 3 besides me doing this. It seems everyone else , busloads of tourists and those coming by car use the other entrance.  Great , had the travestines all to myself till I hit the top. Skipped swimming in the pools.   130TRY and so many people in the pool! had time so arranged to go paragliding. Was fun! Spent a good amount of time in the air . 
Euphesus - Stayed in Selcuk and no regrets! Small , quiet town yet getting to Euphesus was  breeze. Took a dolmus both ways. Euphesus was so worth it! Don\'t miss the terrace houses (extra 80TRY) but great way to get a glimpse into how people lived . managed to do Euphesus and Sirince on the same day.',4.0,'2022-12-01T00:55:29Z','REV-F6B59rwVtHeU12+4wfFPXJABxl5ZKQznSKwb3E0t9nw=','en','S_Shah910','TRIPADVISOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Relaxed pace tour but not for everyone','Itinerary:

-our first guide in Day 1-2 was informative but felt he was rushing the entire tour to finish early. We were given only 15-20mins to wander around, which was a shame because it wasn’t enough to take in the beauty of the sites. Also did not see the Necropolis. Hmm wish they added another site St. John’s Basilica which was right beside the Temple of Artemis.

Tour buses - It was a small group tour for us with only 8 people but the cars had little or no air-conditioning and the trip was hot and uncomfortable.  No cold water bottles were provided during our tour.

Included Lunch - These were the worst.  Large buffets with poor quality food to feed the masses and flies buzzing around. Little to no air-conditioning in the restaurants and no drinks, not even water was included with the meal. We hardly ate anything. 

Free breakfast at the hotels/room service - Again, very poor quality.  The two star hotel in Cappadocia where we stayed three nights did not provide any room service (taking out trash, changing linens, providing fresh towels, etc,) during our stay. The rooms/bathrooms were dilapidated.

 Airport transfers - Skeezy cars with poor air-conditioning infested with moths. We got back to our hotel in Istanbul around 2am.  Just bad planning overall.

Private tour and guide - After complaining to the tour company about the above, they were not able to change our accommodation but did provide us with an excellent private tour guide and properly air-conditioned car for the next two days.',2.0,'2022-07-13T16:19:26Z','REV-pDuWiuvYhHYk9cI3xbBSJYXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','Shahreen_R','VIATOR'),('66241P73','Turkey&#039;s Highlights - Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia Trip & Balloon Ride Option','Well Organized trip','The tour guides… they were fantastic.

Day 3 felt wasted','Things to be done better:
Day 3 was a wasted day for us - we left at 0345 only to arrive in Cappadocia at midday with nothing else on our itinerary. Could have had another nice morning at our great hotel with a delightful breakfast, but instead felt rushed to leave and wasted a whole day of touring.

However, our hosts/guides Rose and Mert made this tour sensational (see below)!

Ephesus:
Our private tour was nothing short of amazing. It happened to only be the two of us and our tour guide Rose (Gül) for the two days.

On the first day, we were brought to Pamukkale, where Rose intricately described the history of the natural phenomenon while also showing us the best picture spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore on our own.

The local lunch spot she brought us to gave us a great taste of culture, and delicious traditional dessert. The hotel we stayed at was AMAZING. Great breakfasts with lovely staff, plus good facilities. Our room was huge and super comfortable.

On the second day, Epheus was sensational. Being a lover of ancient history, Roses knowledge on ancient history was impecable and was able to answer all our curious questions. Ephesus was Rose\'s favourite place in Turkey and her passion and love for her culture really showed in the tour

We also got to experience the craft of pottery from a true master (one of few in the world) and witness an astounding display of art work. They even let us get our hands dirty in clay, with his guidance ofcourse.

The leather factory was good; fashion is not my area, but if you are into high end clothing you\'d be in love.
Just not my thing.

House of virgin mary was special, being catholics this was a very spirtual and surreal experience for us.
