Cappadocia with Flair

Our guide, Erdi Özbek, was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fluent in no-accent English. He also has remained in his hometown, within the Cappadocia region. Recommended a wonderful local restaurant for lunch. Also, the transportation to and from the Istanbul airport was prompt, professional, and classy. We were extremely pleased in every way!

Whirlwind trip to Cappadocia

Guided Istanbul Tours did a great job for us. Our guide in Cappadocia was Ali Can Who was very knowledgeable, friendly and enjoyable to be with. We took this trip from a cruise ship that was docked in Istanbul for two nights, so it was quite a whirlwind trip. Guided Istanbul tours did a great job about making sure we saw the highlights and still made it back to the ship in time. We were even able to fit in the balloon ride at sunrise, which was spectacular
