Our first time in Turkey was AMAZING, exceeded our expectations in so many ways. All the places We visited were absolutely beautiful, the hospitality, the culture, the people are super nice. The Jeepsafari in Cappadoccia, the hot air balloons in Pamukkale, THE TURKISH BATH and the Galata tower are highly recommended. WE WANT TO GO BACK!!! Alí was our private tour guide and He was excellent. He's very nice, professional and knowledgeable (and very patient with my girls and I lol We didn't stop talking and singing) Our designated driver was very friendly as well and polite. Overall, AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE! MARAVILLOSO! ????????

An excellent private tour by Neon Tours. Our guide, Ozcan (a university professor), was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The pacing was perfect and with the tranfers and lunch provided, this really was the best (and most reasonable) way to see the main sights of Istanbul. I followed previous reviewers and declined the visits to the spice and rug shops. Skip the Grand Bazaar (a most disappointing maze of knock-off merchandise) and shop down the local streets which have many charming quality items you actually do want to buy.
3. Private Tour of the Hittite Sites
Journey to Yazilikaya and see an impressive open air rock sanctuary created by the Hittites, the second oldest known civilization in Anatolia. At Hattusas, the ancient Hittite capital which dates from 3,000 BC, you'll visit Lion's Gate, King's Gate, Citadel and the Grand Temple.

Booked through Goodman tours weeks before our scheduled Balloon flight via Viator. Received confirmation, got tickets. Night before our flight we get an email, not from Goodman tours but from Viator advising that Balloon flight has been cancelled due to “overbooking”. Rang Goodman tours, they say cancelled because of bad weather but there were heaps of other balloon flights the next morning. Very disappointed as we went to Cappadocia specifically for the Balloon ride. Could of let us know earlier in the day so we could book another flight. Goodman tours offered a complimentary activity, but if never eventuated. Will not use them again.
