We just had our awesome, amazing time in Cappadocia, Aug 26-28 with our tour guide Safak. We were able to do the Jeep Safari, Hot Air Balloon and The Turkish Night! The Jeep Safari were so cool! The drivers are friendly and took really good photos! The Hot Air Balloon was indeed breathtaking, nothing like anywhere in the world! The Turkish Nigh was fun, dancing to Turkish culture and the entertainers were really good. Thanks to Safak for a wonderful Cappadocia experience. He is very calm, doing his best to give in to our (many) requests and always smiling! He is truly living to his name, sunrise! 🤗

Fun and exciting experience on a jeep safari in cappadocia. This was well complemented by flying in a Hot Air Balloon to get an aerial view of the landscape there. The fairy chimneys were awesome. Goreme Open Air Museum was a testimony of the hardship of early Christians who lived in hiding. Their holiness was captured by the murals painted in the caves. Pigeons were raised for their droppings which were used to grow crops for sustenance. The Kaymakli Underground City was interesting and challenging to navigate. We witnessed the tunnels, grain storages and deep ventilation holes.
Best guide! Memorable experience in Turkiye

Our tour guide, Mr. Safak Karacaoglu aka Turkish Johan, malaysian comedian, was very informative, funny and great guy. He shared his knowledge very clearly. Family had wonderful and memorable experience during hot air balloon, jeep tour and other attractions like the valleys. Awesome experience! Mr Safak is very knowledgable, approachable and helpful guy. He even bought my father a shaver which my father couldn’t find one. Well done Mr. Safak.

I was in Turkey on a Singapore Group Tour in May 2023. There were 20 of us with a Turkey Tour Guide (Akin Yildiz) and a SG Tour Leader (Eric Yong). Initially I was concerned with the safety of the Hot Air Balloon, but was persuaded by both Tour Guide and Leader and friends that it's a highlight of our Turkey tour. 18 of us joined the tour. We were transported by bus to the launching site by 4:30am. We witnessed how the balloon was inflated, then got into the balloon basket. The basket was divided into 4 quadrants with a strip in the middle for the pilot. We soared into the pre-dawn sky. Cappadocia was still asleep below us, with many balloons waiting for take-off. Our pilot skillfully controlled the flight path, and most importantly the torch, so that the flame did not touch the sides of the balloon. The balloon rose high, then descended low for us to view the karst formations. The fairy chimneys were out of this world. We then flew high again. The sun rose in the horizon until it became a round ball. There were so many balloons in the sky, near and far, a spectacular sight to behold. Then the torch was slowly extinguished, and we descended into the trailer of a waiting truck in a wheat field. We then celebrated our tour with a glass of champaign. Cheers to everyone. What a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

It has been such an unforgettably breathtaking experience at Cappadocia! The Melis Cave hotel was lush with an incredible view of the landscape. The food that was planned for us were excellent along with the choice of activities. Most importantly, our tour guide Shafaq was the best we could have asked for! Not only was he funny and engaging but also extremely knowledgeable about the country’s history in various parts, explaining to us in detail about cultural nuances, the effect of volcanic eruptions on cappadocia’s landscape and more! He weaves in a lot of local humour to keep our journey light hearted. Very glad I signed up for this tour with my family and managed to both enjoy and learn so much!

The Hot Air Balloon ride was awesome. The pilot will explain the surrounding while in flight. Very professional. Our tour guide Akin Yildiz was excellent beyond words. He explain the histories very well and clearly. I came turkey to learn more about Ottoman, Greeks and Roman culture. He satisfies all of the above greatly. I learn alot from him. And because of him, my interest on ottoman, greeks and eastern roman culture increased greatly in fact. His knowledge on how the ancient name came about is also worth commending. Very knowledgeable and funny guide. Highly Highly recommended when u tour Turkey.
