Cappadocia is awesome
We went from Istanbul to Cappadocia by tour bus. It was amazing. The sights took my breath away. The entire trip was awesome from the tour guides to the Underground museum. Too beautiful to miss.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.

Cappadoccia 2 day bus tour
Trip was well worth it, Melissa was our guide and didn’t speak full English but with the help of Google translate we made it work. Sites were beautiful, well worth the money. 4/5 stars because the tour did not have hotel/pick up. We arrived back at our pickup location much later than expected, luckily our flight home was for the next day at 2pm. They do ask for money as soon as you get on the bus for extra expenses such as breakfast, ATV rides and other excursions if you want to participate. I would highly recommend having Google translate handy as they did not speak English when discussing the landscapes and where we were heading. The travel agency was hawkish about leaving a 5 star review before the trip was even over which was a bit annoying…ERIC. Considering the plane tickets were about 4-5X more expensive, the buss tour was definitely worth it. Beware of the onyx jewelry store they stop at! 100% tourist trap and SCAM! They sell fake jewelry and mark up the price’s astronomically. We paid $300 for a Zultanite jewelry set for my wife that we later found on Amazon for $100 the exact same set. You can and should Barter everywhere you go. The pottery exhibition was well worth it, avoid the “hair museum” super creepy in there.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.

Worst tour I have ever been on.
If you speak only English do not book this tour! Worst tour I have ever been on. Company was Trend Turlar In summary: -The itinerary does not match the one advertised. Actually, nothing was as advertised -No one communicates with you in English so you never know where you are, where you going or where you need to be for when. -Taskim is not a pick up point as advertised. The options are nowhere near it. -You do not get a hotel pick up / drop off. You get dropped off after midnight when there is no public transport. -On the way back the guide just went home and I as a female traveller was just dropped of in the city after midnight with no idea how to get back to my accommodation because there was no public transport at that time. -The guides would roll their eyes at me and laugh at me when I was asking for help and information using Google translate. -When we were shown around places most of it was in Turkish, but when a guide did translate it to English it was much shorter, or after we had been to the destination before I was told anything. -You get more time at a place that sells sweets/souvenirs than points of interest which is the whole reason you go on the tour. -The guide could only conveniently use Google translate to communicate with me when he wanted more money towards something. But when after that would only message/talk to me in Turkish because he didn't speak English. - I was asked to pay 600 turkish lira on top of what i had paid because I was a solo traveller. -Tour guide woke me up at 1am just to get money from me. It could have waited. -The second day is a waste of time and money. Overall a terrible experience, I was made to feel stupid and there was no effort make me feel part of the tour. I could write more. I would go to Cappadocia on your own or book directly in Turkey so you can check all the details. This tour is falsely advertised on here. I will be asking for a refund.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry for your dissapointment. Please can you contact us on this number by whatsapp to fix your problem +905527521448 Hope to hear from you soon.

Cappadocia Trip
It was a great experience to visit Cappadocia . Mr. Abdul Hamid was a very helpful tour guide and guided us through out our trip..They took us for many activities like hot air balloon, horse ride, buggy ride, underground city, Panoramic view, castles, clay & ceramic factory,KEM center etc and gave us enough time to cover all areas. They had also arranged a very good hotel stay at Hotel Tassaray and the driving through out the trip was smooth and the driver dropped us safely near to our hotel stay while returning back from the trip Really we had a wonderful time & enjoyed the trip well.. 🥰🥰🥰
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review. We wish to see you again soon..

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert?
+
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 Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert?
+
Around 3 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 Istanbul 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 Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Istanbul Cappadocia 2 Days Tour Guided By A Local Expert 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 Istanbul 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 Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. 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 Istanbul?
+
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 Istanbul?
+
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.
