Beautiful - Despite the impressive winding roads and a bit scary at times, the day was perfect, breathtaking scenery, I highly recommend, that is to do! (No pictures of the canyon because my children are in all the pictures)

A breath of life - The organization was great, the bus ride Check-out from the Pension in a brass band atmosphere, stops to see the scenery, music deep in the valleys. Arrived there a fantastic care, a well supervised choice of activity, and fabulous guides. Plan two pairs of shoes, get ready to fall in love with locals and landscapes. Best activity of my life.

Very nice route, highly recommended - We wanted to go to Selge and therefore chose for that and not rafting. Definitely didn't regret it. Rafting was probably also beautiful, didn't look very intense and very small children were allowed but little Cappadocia was really beautiful. Highlight of the trip. Transfer went smoothly at the hotel to a meeting point. But there it was very unclear. The driver said 10 minute pee break (were just 30 minutes on the way). Owner said it was the last point to buy anything else. Tja.... The latter was certainly not true. Eventually we had to wait more than half an hour when it turned out that we were continuing in another van. After this we drove on to Express Rafting. The tour operator. And quite chaotic there too. There are also many buses coming at the same time but one driver shouts this and then others shouting something else. Luckily we find our guide Adam and the jeep. Waiting again because there are other guests to come. We were picked up 9.15 and finally we leave at 11.15 am. We drive 2 jeeps. Adam is a guide and driver in the front car and we drive with a Turkish driver in the second. Despite the language barrier, the driver makes it a pleasant day with music and a dance. We stop at a view. Very nice and the ability to zipline. Costs an extra 10 euros. After this we drive to various gorges, views and valleys. Adam regularly steps out for explanations in German and English. Eventually we stop at Selge. This is really beautiful. We have sunny weather, not too much wind. There are still 2 jeeps but it is not mega busy. Really a special experience. We walk a bit into the canyon. There are no other tourists and the tranquility makes the place even more mystical. Back again a detailed explanation and the opportunity to drink and eat. Because the day is kind of weird. Lunch is end of day. Not until 4 p.m. We can buy a traditional pancake (3 euros pp) and are happy afterwards that we had something to eat. The Selge is followed by the amphitheater. Also very impressive. It's annoying that the saleswomen are very pushy. After this the route back towards Tazi. We stop for some more photo opportunities and then visit the Tazi gorge. Also very nice but in relation to the rest this is a bit disappointing. They are 3 wooden decking and there is nothing more to see / do. Along the way we stop briefly at a waterfall and get some explanation. Back lunch is ready... 16 hours. It's a chicken skewer with bulger and spaghetti and salad. Chicken tastes fine. The rest a little lame. Fine because we eat at the resort. After the "lunch" the way back is a lot smoother and we are back at the hotel at 5.30 pm. Really a beautiful day, highly recommended.

Chaos! - It was very disorganized overall. On site, 5 different excursions were coordinated in parallel, which ended in a huge chaos overall. Nobody really knew where to go. Also, on the way out, breaks were already taken at a kiosk that wanted 0.33l 10 euros for a plastic ready-made coffee, a water and an iced tea.... We booked a German guide and ended up with a Polish tour group. The other travelers were so nice and translated for us. Better to offer fewer activities and more coordinated. The rafting was fun and also the jeep tour to the lookout point!

Beware of offering service. - Not transparent communication. Coming with a written sheet afterwards and charging extra for banalities. This was refused and the pathetic my boss my boss story came up.

Terrible experience. Would not recommend booking. You will be scammed. - The trip never happened. The tour company cancelled 12 hours before and never got a refund. Still waiting to hear back from the tour company and Viator about the refund
