    The weak points were: The person who met us at the Istanbul airport was hard to find (had to have a different tour company call City of Sultans for me to locate him. When he get there is was not great at a knowing where to find the driver. We did not have pick up times set until the night before sometimes, and sometimes the pickup times were before dawn. Our Cave hotel in Cappadocia was really not a cave hotel, more as "Stone and cave" hotel.

    The tour was very nice we could enjoy Turkey to the fullest. The dates and routes very well organized. All the guides we had were great and tried everything to make our vacation perfect. Especially we want to thank Mr. Mithat Bülbül from Kapadokien, who gave everything with heart and soul to show us Kapadokia from the most beautiful sides and to explain us everything, a tour guide who treats his gesture like kings. Thank you very much Mithat.
