The 10 Best Historical & Heritage Tours in Cappadocia, Turkey
Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

Great experience. Both tours were very well arranged - our guides were knowledgable, flexible with nice sense of humor. Shared so much details around Cappadocia, ancient life, but also around the Turkish culture and life. Highly recommend Mehmed - he was amazing - stopped us in Nevşehir on the way back to get baklava. Loved this guy!

My wife and I plan to go to some tour outside istanbul. But we don’t realize how to make it possible. Therefore, we have consulted with this travel agency whose service is very much appreciated. They themselves arranged everything for us such as flights, hotel reservations and even transportation services. With my wife, I enjoyed a balloon ride in Cappadocia that will haunt us for a lifetime. Trojan Horse in Troy and Pamukkale Thermal pools was very good too. Overall We had very good experience.

We had a wonderful day! a great experience in pamukkale with our guide. Gonca or rosita is a love of person, a being who loves his work and is very professional, his smile and his way of explaining us is unique, he makes us live the story, he is very affectionate and sincere. We also got a good price. We are leaving happy and in a next trip we will not hesitate to hire tours with you and always with Rosita as a guide. I will recommend to my friends from Colombia who are next to come. Thank you.
5. Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Flight over Cappadocia
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
The balloon flights are definitely the most important activity in the region, to get to see the amazing formations from high above is really enchanting but they are done only early in the mornings. All companies have to obey the rules of the Civil Aviation Center. The number of balloon is around 150 with second sortie. They pick you up from the reception in the early morning, then take you to their base office, while they’re serving you an open buffet breakfast, they’ll be defining the safest points to take off due to wind & weather conditions. Then they take you to the point you’ll start the balloon flight. After your flight they bring you back to the hotel around 8.00 am. We suggest that you take your balloon flight on your first morning. So if you can’t make the flight on your first day, you’d have a chance to do it the other day.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, included breakfast.

Wow! What can I say? The guide started with a van that picked me up from the hotel. Then it drove into the city center at the tour office, then enters this wonderful guide. Ellie (Elif) handed out water with enthusiasm and just a great energy one wants from a tour guide. She was professional, extremely courteous and informative. It was pretty cold out and she guided us from location to location while explaining and telling us about the history. We had a nice lunch after a nice walk down in the gorge/valley name that I cannot remember.... (I do remember not bringing my Canon camera 0_0) Again, highly recommend it! Worth the trip. Interesting places. Bring sneakers. Ellie's great! Driver's great. Van's comfortable.

We joined this tour with our great guide Oguz. He was very friendly and giving us all information regarding region. He gave us enough time to enjoy by ourselves while making those moments unforgettable. I wanted to buy special meat “pastırma” during tour and he organized a short stop together with our kind driver. I would definitely recommend this tour with Hereke Travel in Cappadocia! Thanks a lot for all Oguz!
