Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Disappointed by organization, cheated out of activities.
Initially looked like an excellent offer. It has a detailed itinerary describing all the places to be visited and as a last point - the camel safari at the end of the day. This camel safari was the most attractive for me and my friends as this is something absolutely new for us. I did the booking so to make it as a surprise for them. Only the one to be surprised was me. When the day came we were picked up as arranged- the guide Bayram had an excellent English and attitude. Then he started on the program for the day and no safari was mentioned at all! I went to him to ask about it but he knew nothing about a safari. I started writing and calling the phone given by viator. At the end I was told i could have the safari at 16:00 o'clock, but had to be at the spot at 15:00. This meant my friends and me had to give up the second half of the day trip - visit to Goreme open air museum and then visit to pottery - which were part of the package I paid for. So at the end I did not received the full package that I expected, booked and paid for in advance. All the local guides and guys were very nice but the organization by Viator or Local company were extremely poor. This should be monitored by Viator as it is bad advertisement ofr them as company.

Fun and learning experience!
This tour is done by Pupa Travel. Transportation, great! It was a new and comfortable ride with USB ports to charge your electronics. The guide was very helpful explaining every stop. The lunch was very good as well. But the best of the tour, it's that everything was included except for the souvenirs.

Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Uchisar.
How much does Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia cost?
+
Prices start at $148 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Uchisar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Uchisar is not rushed.
Is Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Uchisar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Uchisar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Uchisar and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cappadocia Day Tour with Camel Ride from Istanbul or Cappadocia start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Uchisar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Uchisar?
+
On Outty we rank every Uchisar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Cappadocia Tour( Red Tour + Underground City ), All-in-One Cappadocia Tour: Combined Red and Green Tour, Cappadocia Green Tour with Derinkuyu Nar Lake and Ihlara Valley. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Uchisar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Uchisar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
