⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Today we did the Red Tour in Cappadocia. What a fantastic day! We saw so many beautiful places, including the Göreme Open-Air Museum, Love Valley and Imagination Valley. A special compliment to our guide, Melih. He speaks fluent, clear English, explains everything with enthusiasm and is such a friendly person. Melih, you deserve the highest rating—absolutely brilliant! We will definitely recommend Felix Turismo. Thank you for a wonderful day! Best wishes, Hein and Anita Tomesen Roermond, the Netherlands

Very cool trip.The guide Melih is very kind and helpful.And the trip itself worth the money.Just very chill and interesting
Melih is a very good tour guide.He is kind, caring and helpful. The tour is fun and informative! It’s very worth to go!
We had an excellent experience exploring Cappadocia with Melih as our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about the history and culture of the region. He was also very attentive and ensured that everyone had a comfortable and enjoyable experience throughout the tour. A special thanks as well to our driver, Farouq, whose safe driving and friendly attitude helped make the day smooth and relaxing. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Melih as your guide. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Cappadocia.
We had an amazing day. Our guide Melih was SO informative, it was really interesting. His historical knowledge was excellent and very friendly. My favourite part of the tour was the underground city which was just mind blowing. Also lovely lunch in lovely gardens with blossom trees.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The hot air balloon is breathtaking! Awesome place & our guide Melih is outstanding!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had an amazing experience in Cappadocia thanks to our guide, Melih. He was knowledgeable, energetic, and answered all our questions with patience. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see, and the whole tour was well organised. Highly recommend. would love to come back again
The varied stops made the experience remarkable! The castle, valleys and workshops included made our experience very rich. We learned about the history of the area and it's landscape and the crafts of the area. The rugs and ceramics were of excellent quality and the details of their trades were super interesting. Merih was a great guide, informative but allowed us our space to explore, we enjoy that!
We did the red tour plus it was excellent we learnt a lot our tour guide Merih was very knowledgeable and he made us feel very welcome , wonderful tour !!!
Melih ,the tour guide is nice and friendly. He describe the places so detailed and informative. The trip is fun and worth to go
Melih was great informative and friendly. Would highly recommend. Driver pickup on time. Hike was enjoyable easy hike.
Overall, an excellent and well-organized tour — perfect for first-time visitors to Cappadocia. Highly recommended! The minibus was comfortable, and clean. Our guide, Melih, was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the region’s history and geology.”The pace was just right, with plenty of time for photos and short walks I also loved Avanos, where we got to try pottery making.”
We had a great tour with Melih. Knowledgeable, fun, yet he kept us on time. He anticipated our needs and had us interested in our surroundings and history!!
We had two days touring with Melih. He is an excellent guide very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. We saw amazing sites and learned so much. Our driver Mr. Yashar was also excellent. An unforgettable few days.
Melih is amazing! He’s so knowledgeable and warm-hearted. He goes above and beyond, and he’s one of the best tour guides I’ve ever met. Can’t recommend him enough! 10/10
Our guide Hussein took us on two tours-the Green & Red tours. He was a great guide and informed us of all aspects of the places we visited. We can highly recommend his as your tour guide.
We ended having a privat tour since we were the only ones on the tour. Melih and Es were great! They adopted the tour to our needs and we had so much fun. Really recommend the tour with them.
We scheduled the hot air balloon ride after our cycling trek, but this company informed us wind was canceling all the hot air balloon rides. So instead, they switched us to the day before and shuttled us from a town an hour away. It was unbelievable! Our pilot was humorous, approachable, skilled, and gave us a majestic ride at sunrise — far better than I could’ve imagined.
Tour guide Mr. HUSEYIN is very passionate and experienced. The car ride was smooth and clean, they even prepared water for everyone. Also, since we arrived late, they even offered to bring us to the first destination after the regular hours of the tour ended.
Wonderful experience in Cappadocia thanks to our tour guide Hussein. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Turkey.
Melih was our wonderfully knowledgable guide. He was flexible with timing and we found the excursions a nice balance between leisurely walks and more strenuous activities such as crawling through tunnels in the underground city. We had a lovely lunch overlooking the Ihlara Valley and then went on a leisurely hike through this valley (which included cave churches and an interesting village café). There many stairs going down, but note that you don’t have to come back up them!
If you visit Cappadocia , one of the things to not miss is the green tour, where you will see the ancient caves and the underground city , including the churches ,pigeon valley and Ihlara valley,our guide Melih was very helpful , explaining the history behind every iconic spots we visited, I definitely recommend this tour if you stay in Gorëme or it's surroundings!
Feliz was a great tour guide, combining plenty of knowledge with a fun happy vibe. Made the day very enjoyable, and we saw a lot of the local attractions.
The trip was wonderful. Our guide Melih made for us so interesting excursion. We found out a lot of curious and unusual fact about Cappadocia and it's sightseeings. He also showed us marvelous places for excellent fotos, gave different tips how it is besser to explore Turkey. We had great conversation during our trip and Melih thoroughly answered on all our questions. We also visited ceramics factory and found out how they make their products and great jewelry factory, where all cute souvenirs could buy. Highly recommend this trip and Melih!
Very interesting day with our guide Melih. The Göreme Panorama was striking to see all the Fairy Chimneys, the Pigeon Valley to learn about the old ways of keeping pigeons and their importance. The highlight is the tour of the Kaymakli Underground City. It is fascinating! And the hike through the Ilhara Canyon was beautiful. Our guide Melih was friendly and professional and easily relatable. He had tons of information, and as a local he gave good cultural insights and history.
Among the tours I've joined so far, this must be the best! It's not the easiest, considering it involved crawling through the galleries of an underground city from Cappadocia (Türkiye), but it must certainly be the most pleasurable thanks to the various activities available apart from the sight-seeing itself (i.e. fashion show, tasting of Turkish sweets, etc.). The good company must have played an important part as well, and I am referring to both the other travellers and the tour guide! He was certainly a very intelligent and charismatic person, meticulously describing the history and the traditions of the regions we visited. I can only ask him (friendly, of course) to take into account that not everyone is as meticulous as him with respect to the explanations, and that is why some of us start with the picture taking-part a little ahead. But that is also the proof that he is the person to be trusted on the subject matter, and thus most of the other tour guides I've met before come nowhere close to him from this point of view! To sum up, pick this tour for a wide variety of activities offered whole-heartedly by authentic people in an authentic environment!
Amazing and interesting red and green tour done in Cappadocia. We learnt a lot of things about this area. We had the chance to be guided by Melih who is absolutely really nice and fun. It was a pleasure to spend 2 days with him.
Amazing experience. Tour guide fantastic, more knowledgeable than me in history . Would recommend . The bus clean , food nice , the underground city cool
One of the best tours that makes you experience Cappadocia beyond the balloon rides, the guide Hussain extremely good at his job made the experience worth while. Definitely a thumbs up for anyone looking to book a tour of the area
It was one of the best experience we had. Our guide Mr. Hussein was one of the best guide with lots of information, really interactive and lively.
It was so fun and I had a great time with the tour group. Our tour guide, Melih is knowledgeable about the place that we went. And also he’s so kind. Thank you for guiding me!!
We did both the red tour and the green tour. Both were different and excellent. We had Berk as our tour guide and he was awesome. His knowledge was great and he interacted so well with all the other people in the group. We wish we could have done some more tours with him in Turkey. Great experience.
We joined several tours organized by this company and the experience was simply amazing! Our guide, Berk, was fantastic: always kind, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we discovered hidden corners and wonderful places in Cappadocia that we would have never found on our own. His passion for the region is clear, and he conveys it in every explanation, with stories and insights that make the journey even more engaging. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who truly wants to discover Cappadocia!
Melih from Felix Tourismo made the tour memorable and fun. He has great people skills and enthusiasm with great local knowledge. Highly recommend him for a tour guide. He’s awesome.
Our guide Melih from Feliz Tourismo was brilliant. He tailored our two days with him to suit us. He was enthusiastic and encouraging fully aware how hot and draining it was out in the open. His knowledge was great.
Our guide Huseyin was great, he was very knowledgeable and engaging with the group, answering every question with enthusiasm. We highly recommend the 2 day tour to anyone wanting to get a better understanding of Turkish history and culture in the Cappadocia region.
We took a red tour on June 30 which originally was a group tour, but during pick up our tour guide informed us we would be the only ones attending. So lucky for us it became a private tour with Melih! This was hands down one of our favorite activities that we did while in Cappadocia. The red tour takes all day given the sites are far from Göreme so we were glad we did this over the green tour. The Underground City is truly amazing. To walk through tunnels and cave homes that were once occupied was surreal. These homes were thoughtfully designed and built with kitchens, food storage, and wine cellars. It was all fascinating to see. The hike through Ihlara Valley was one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve been on. Hiking by the river, exploring cave churches, and having rock caves as your backdrop the entire walk was such an experience we’ll never forget. And ending with a lunch at Belisirma Restaurant overlooking Ihlara valley while sitting in a picnic hut was a perfect way to finish off the tour. Melih was the perfect tour guide. He was full of historical facts and genuinely passionate about the community and the history. It added a touch of care to the tour that you don’t normally receive on tours and so we are so grateful to Melih who made this tour even more memorable for us. We highly recommend this tour! And hopefully you get Melih! :-)
The tour was nice specially with our guide- "Hossain" ! He is well mannered , helpful & knowledgeable about the history of Cuppadocia. Our complementary launch was also in a good place & tasty food .
Our guide Hussein was incredible. He was so knowledgeable and hospitable. I loved the geographic and historical elements of the tour - as Hussein took his time explaining the prehistorical and geographical history of these lands, going all the way to the Ottoman era and modern state of Turkey. The tour included museum entrances and a nice lunch.
Husain was our tour guide for the trip, and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He shared detailed, step-by-step information throughout the journey, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. Our driver, Ali, was also fantastic—very patient and always punctual with every pick-up and drop-off. Both made our trip smooth and memorable. Highly recommended!
Tour was great, we had a amazing time. I especially liked the underground city. Huseyin was great at explaining everything - I learnt a lot!
If you take this tour be very careful when they take you to ALDAG CERAMIC. They have some beautiful things there but the people there are not honest. I bought a ceramic piece that was going to be shipped to me. All shipping costs were to be included in the price as was written in the contract. When they came to deliver it the shipping company wanted $220 or they couldn't deliver it. I tried contacting ALDAG CERAMIC but got no response.
Had an amazing experience led by our guide Melih! He was able to provide a well-informed tour, allowing us just the right amount of time to explore the various sights. Would highly recommend to anyone who is in Cappadocia for a short period of time and wanting a taste of this wonderful part of the country!
The wonderful weather was just the start of our awesome day because we were later spoilt with sights, sounds and tastes of local delights. Our tour guide, Melih, was both professional and personable and had a wealth of knowledge. It made our experience that much better! Highly recommend
We really enjoyed the trip with Mert! He did a great job and we had a lot of fun, a lot of details and history discovered in a short time! We laughed a lot and experienced great times!
The tour was absolutely incredible! We saw so many beautiful sites and I loved being able to see how the pottery and rugs are made. Our tour guide, Matt, was so knowledgeable on the history and significance of all the activities. He was also such a nice person and I felt like I was just hanging out with a friend the entire time, while learning about the history of the sites we visited. I really enjoyed the tour and was so happy to have such a great tour guide. I highly recommend requesting Matt when you book this tour!
We had a really good experience and our guide know about the tour and he know about the all the history of the museum’s sites we visited my guide name was Mathew and yea i recommend it to every one
Had an incredible time on the Cappadocia Red Tour with Melih! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend him as a tour guide!
We had an outstanding tour guide, Mert Altan. He was very knowledgeable on all aspects of where we went, very enthusiastic, spoke very good English & had a great sense of humour
Had the opportunity to go for the Red Valley Tour today with my wife, it was wonderful - only because Melih and excellent tour guide was there to walk us through and give us such a good experience. He was so engaging, helpful and supportive. It was a pleasure! Don’t think anyone should do the red valley tour without a guide, and if you take my advice, Melih is an absolutely amazing tour guide!
