    Ah, what a magical experience! We are so happy we booked this tour and got to see the beautiful sites of Istanbul and Cappadocia. The tour itinerary is well paced and makes sure you have time to enjoy the top sites and also have some downtime. Halil, our guide, was so informative and accommodating. He suggested places to eat, and made sure we had plenty of rest stops for my mum. He also took some great photos for us! Istanbul is a city filled with historic sites, delicious cuisine and interesting architecture. Cappadocia is other worldly in its landscape and beauty. The hot air balloon was incredible! Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. We are so pleased we chose this tour and trip. Thank you Halil and Dorak Tours.

    It was amazing expriences with this two beauty. I have been in Istanbul before. But cappadocia is the most interesting city i haven't seen before. We left the hotel early in the morning, accompanied by the relevant guides, and went to the balloon area. Everyone should have this experience. Dorak tourism guides always helped us. They have all the information about the city. The cars they used, the equipment, everything was the latest model and luxury.

    Amazing!!! I got this tour from Dorak Tour for my family trip and enjoyed every single moment. The places are extraordinarily beautiful and we had been guided perfectly. Cappadocia has to be in everyone's bucket list. It is one of a kind spot. Luckily, our tour operator originally from there and we had the best of the best experiences over there. I strongly recommend Turkey and Dorak Tour for your upcoming trips!!!

      Gail

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      We would like to do the Hot Air Balloon over Cappadocia and probably a couple of other tours too, do we book those before we arrive?

    • G

      Gail

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      We will need to organise the two transfers from the airport at Cappadocia to the hotel I believe?

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

      All airport transfers (including between the airport and hotel) as well as intercity transfers are included in your tour. Optional excursions (such as the Cappadocia hot air balloon ride) can be booked during tour. It is advisable to book these excursions during your tour as balloon rides are weather-dependent and it is more reliable to arrange them on-site.

    Asked on August 24th, 2024

    Where is the traditional Turkish hamman? What business? And is there any free time built into the tour? I just want to verify that I will have a single room as a solo traveller.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

      We can arrange hammam in Istanbul on your arrival day. Of course it depends on to your arrival time. The place is Sarnıç SPA in Old City. We can arrange a single room for you. But please note that there is short time to tour. And we are working on the bookings with hotels. October is a high season. As my recommendation, you should decide a bit fast.

    • J

      Janet

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      I am currently researching flights and will probably stay over another day of two after the tour so I can enjoy the hamman at my leisure.

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

      This tour might be not happen on November because of low demand. Just let me know later about your final decision.
