Mert (tour guide) Red tour in cappadocia - My family and I had a private tour with tour guide Mert. (Please forgive incorrect spellings) The tour was amazing. Mert initially took us to a viewpoint of the whole of cappadocia where we saw uchisar castle. Mert explained the historical and chemical formations of the area alongside importance of pigeons possible civilisation. We then progressed to open air museums (pasa ba), every time Mert went into the etymology helping us understand. I was able to climb up to a second story this was not done by others without a tour guide. Every area was explained in detail. With cultural, historical, social elements explained. We then progressed to the 3rd location a pottery studio set in caves. It was air conditioned and all hand made with 5 different masters for a single pottery piece, every item was 1 of 1. I even got the opportunity to do some pottery very exciting. We then ate lunch. Mert made sure to plan the schedule around how we felt throughout the day. We then progressed to the monks valley where we also received religious facts throughout. At any areas that were slightly dangerous Mert would always help us walk past safely always putting the safety of us first taking us to shaded areas and allowing us to rest when the sun was too bright whilst still explaining the significance of the are we stopped at. We then were able to go to middle castle ( I forgot how to pronounce it) for a skyline view of the Grecian village it was very beautiful. Throughout all stops Mert took photos for us. Especially through this viewpoint as there were designated photo areas. Mert then very kindly extend the tour for 2 extra locations a jewellery store specialising in Turkish stones and a traditional Turkish market. It is very clear that Mert is very passionate about being a tour guide and the facts he was giving was not only informative but very interesting, from religion, culture, social, historical to chemical he had all the knowledge. He was a fabulous tour guide providing us with energy literally ( gave us snacks) and figuratively. He really made the cappadocia experience. Honeslty very much recommend.

Day tour with Sefa - Honestly the whole trip has been out of this world but our guide today, Sefa, went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves while still giving us a very thorough tour of the city. Definitely 10/10 recommend this company and if you can ask for Sefa he will make your trip 1000 times better, you won’t regret it!

Amazing Experience - I had opted for a group tour; however, it felt like a private one. The vehicle provided was neat and clean and had ample leg space as well. The tour guide, Mr. Sefan was amazing as he gave us details about the entire history of Cappadocia and the places we visited. His knowledge is vast and he helps like a brother. Overall the experience was amazing and would highly recommend this tour guide. Thank you.

Thank you Sefa! - The tour with Sefa was amazing! We had the pleasure of having Sefa as our tour guide for 2 days in a row (both the red and green tour) in Cappadocia. He was incredibly knowledgeable while providing a fun tour experience. Our personal highlight from the red tour was Zelve Open Air museum. It would be difficult getting around on your own in Cappadocia so it’s best to book a tour. We highly recommend this one!
