No water.
The day before, I inquired if there is water in the lake at present and they said 'yes', so I decided not to cancel. It took about two and a half hours to arrive with an uncle who spoke only Turkish, but there was no water and he could not see the scenery he wanted to see. My uncle accompanied me around the lake in the heat and I paid for lunch because he drove so long. Too bad I couldn't get the experience worth the money.
Response from the operator: この度は貴重なご意見をいただき、誠にありがとうございます。ご期待に沿えず、残念なお気持ちにさせてしまい申し訳ございません。 ご訪問いただいた日は異常な暑さの影響で湖の水位が急激に下がってしまい、事前にご案内していた状況と異なってしまいました。常に最新の情報をお伝えするよう努めておりますが、自然条件は予測が難しく、急な変化が起こる場合がございます。 そのような中でも、ドライバーが暑さの中でご案内し、安全に運転をしてくれたことにご理解をいただき感謝しております。また機会がございましたら、ぜひより良い条件のもとでの再訪をご検討いただければ幸いです。 今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Salt Lake - fantastic photo spot
The private tour to Salt Lake was a great experience, offering a fantastic photo spot. The agency was flexible and confirmed the tour time with us. Although the guide acted more as a driver and didn't provide much commentary, his driving skills were good and reliable. We visited just before sunset and captured some beautiful photos. It's a lovely spot to visit if you have enough time in Cappadocia.
Response from the operator: We’re glad to hear that your private tour to Salt Lake was a great experience and that you found it to be a fantastic photo spot. It’s wonderful that our agency could accommodate your schedule and that you felt safe and comfortable with our driver. We hope you had a memorable time in Cappadocia and that you’ll consider joining us for another adventure in the future! Best regards

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Salt Lake Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.
How much does Private Salt Lake Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $227 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Goreme usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Salt Lake Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Goreme is not rushed.
Is Private Salt Lake Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Salt Lake Tour?
+
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 Private Salt Lake Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Salt Lake Tour?
+
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 Goreme 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 Goreme and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Salt Lake Tour 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 Goreme 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 Goreme?
+
On Outty we rank every Goreme experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Red (North) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and tickets, Green (South) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and ticket, Cappadocia Green Tour - Classic Route (Popular). 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 Goreme?
+
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 Goreme?
+
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.
