Definitiv die beste Tour bis jetzt in der Türkei!

Alles war gut organisiert! Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe daher sehr angenehm! Metin der guid konnte uns viel historisches erzählen was sehr interessant war! Da er aus Kapadokya kommt kannte er sich gut aus und uns viel mehr von der Stadt zeigen! Mit dem Hotel war alles in Ordnung. Habe sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen! Alles war gut organisiert und der Gruppe angepasst!

Disappointing

The second day was only advertisement for shops. We paid for sales offering
