“Very positive experience, a journey through the most characteristic attractions of north Cappadocia. Jakub is a great guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the region. He is open to any question and takes the time to explain everything in detail. Only negative point is the provided lunch which does not live up to expectations, Cappadocia has much more to offer. Please consider offering a tour option excluding lunch or in a better location”

“We used Paphlagonia tours and our tour guide Cagatay was brilliant. The tour was punctual, accommodating and gave us just the right amount of information to keep us interested. He was friendly and kind enough to take photos for us - he was flexible to suit our mood - if we were tired he could reduce the walking. The food on the tour was great and so was the pottery and carpet tour. Love Cagatay - he was awesome.”

“The tour started well with visits of Monk's valley and the open air museum. The guide was friendly and gave us some interesting information. After that, there was a photo stop at imagination valley followed by the pottery workshop (and subsequent time in a shop). The pottery demonstration was interesting, the shop less so. Then lunch, which was OK - the kebab was a bit dry but included in the price so shouldn't complain. Then Uchisar castle - another photo stop viewpoint. Even if they didn't want us to go up the steep steps in case of accidents, it would have been nice to see the town itself. Finally, instead…”

Cappadocia Small Group Day Tour – Goreme Open Air Museum

13.Cappadocia Small Group Day Tour – Goreme Open Air Museum

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 15 reviews · from $68

This 7-hour Bellaturca Tour visits Uchisar Castle, Goreme Open Air Museum, Avanos, Pasabag, and Devrent Valley. An English- or Spanish-speaking guide, hotel pickup, lunch, museum entry, and air-conditioned transport are included. Expect a fast-paced day with pottery, cave frescoes, and photo stops.

“Our guide, Ömer, was quite good, but the overall tour was fairly so-so. It’s basically the Red Tour put together in about one day but it felt like we didn’t have too much time in any one place to really appreciate it. The other thing is that Cappadocia is more or less a tourist playground, with nearly everything catered to the tourist, so it was hard to feel connected to what we were seeing. In this respect, the trip to the ceramics workshop was different, and a nice little highlight.”
