The worst excursion of all. Just shopping and shopping and those who do not take additional services frankly do not care)
1. The guide did a very bad job. We arrived at the 1st point - the underground city (for the sake of it and the Goreme Valley, we came), the guide said on the bus that we were going after the group that came ahead of us, and now it's time for the toilet and souvenirs. The whole group dispersed, we could not find a guide, some went into the caves on their own, we and another 15 people began to wait for the guide at the entrance. As a result, we found and asked when we would go in, to which we were answered "and we have already left, where were you, I called everyone, go yourself run quickly through the cave for 3 minutes" Excellent... We ran and almost got lost... Other guides stopped and told us everything, but ours was running faster and faster. Mv came to see, not to sweep through Kapadokia.
2.Everything would be fine, but when we and other tourists began to be indignant that we did not come here for free, so as not to see half of it, we were told "I will refund your money.". Returned 140 lire)) whereas the tour costs $170😁 (for two)
3. Okay, let's go on, we arrived at the store, they gave us everything there to try, advertised the goods, we spent a lot of time there, we were in no hurry... The next point was Goreme (our second and last hope for a good tour) and then the guide says, "Oh, sorry, I made a mistake in time, we have very little time before closing, let's quickly run here and leave."... Well, that's no good... We stayed in the store for more than an hour (if only we bought something) and in Goreme, let's run faster.. The guide told me about a couple of places and then, he says, go see everything yourself, and we'll meet at the bus... And then we realize that we no longer want to go on such excursions at all..
4. Then we almost left without one tourist. The man was delayed somewhere, and the bus just started without him.. If one tourist had not started a panic that it was impossible to leave him here, the bus would have left leaving the poor man without things and documents in Cappadocia at night
5.The hotel is good, 4 stars... But after all that, he wasn't nice to us.. In addition, we were given a room with separate beds, although we said that we were newlyweds, this is our honeymoon and we need one bed. But the food there is delicious)) only drinks are not included, in the tour for $ 170 (for two) we could have poured a cup of tea. But that's okay..
6. Lunch is also not included for this money (but we can't complain about that, because it was described in the program)... It's just that if the tour was good and the mood was also good, we would have bought something extra.. But with such an attitude of the guide, and in general the service.. I didn't want to leave a penny here.
7. On the second day, breakfast was delicious and coffee was included, which pleased me finally..
8. On the bus, the guide already said, "let's applaud those who flew on the balloon today, and not those who are hindered by the toad.." the conclusions from these words are again so-so.
9. There were two more stops before the county and, of course, these were shops.. Leather shop, jackets and costume jewelry store.. Not AN EXCURSION, BUT AN ONLINE SHOPPING. But in the light of yesterday, everything somehow smells dishonest and we just wanted to go back to the sea as soon as possible..
10. If we were the only ones with such impressions, that's one thing.. But then a third of the bus was left with the same dissatisfaction.
11.In general, if you want to fly on balloons and buy souvenirs, then you may like it, but if you are interested in Cappadocia itself, then this is definitely not this agency..
Let's go on an excursion to Pammukale! The departure from Belek was first supposed to be at 05.00 in the morning, then they wrote at 04.30, and early in the morning we were woken up by a call from the driver who said that the departure was at 04.10!!! We drove a minivan to the transfer point to a shared bus, in which we sat for another hour waiting for several tourists from Alanya! The whole bus was waiting for 3 people!!! Then a blow below the belt-Margot's guide-there is less information on the history of places than can be read in the tour announcement, and the presentation is tedious and not interesting, with jumping from one topic to another, not coherent, meager speech, if they did not become indignant and ask questions themselves, they would not even know banal information. It was said about baths that you can sit in them for no more than two hours -although even a child from the Internet can read that the recommended time is from 20 to 40 minutes! As a whole, 12.05, we haven't even reached Pammukale yet!!!!! But we managed to visit the onyx shop. Tired, already with a hooked phone, we found out on the bus that after onyx we are now being taken to drink wine!!!! We will probably get to Pammukale by the closing of travertine! Never mess with Kitabus turom and Margot's guide! Money thrown away
and in August 2022 we went to Cappadocia. Alyona's guide is wonderful! She is interesting to listen to, knows history, speaks competently, is very attentive to every tourist, helps everyone, advises. It was a great organization, even the children sat quietly on such a long journey, because Alyona's stories were very interesting.
