Excellent trip and the best value for me we have ever experienced while travelling the world. Mete was an excellent guide - English was good and clear. Interesting information was given in a timely fashion. Do buy lunches - they are good value, filling and tasty. Recommend booking at least one experience - we loved the sunrise jeep safari even though there was a muddled start. Coach was comfortable and there were well planned breaks for snacks and bathroom breaks. Saw lots of interesting sites and paced well. It is 2 long days of travel, the first being 18 hours with on and off, so wouldn't suit everyone but is a fabulous and affordable way to see the region. All sites advertised were visited. Highly recommended.

The drive from antalya to cappadocia was very long, but worth the sights. We had a small van that was quite bumpy sometimes. We made some stops to see some of the valleys which were special and unique. The guide gave some good explanations but the stops were always a rush. Of course the big event was the next morning when the balloons took off. I was quite upset to hear the price of the balloon ride, which was 340 euros... So I went for the Panoramic view which was 38 euros. They take you early in the morning 5.30 am to the place where the balloons will take off, then you drive to top of a valley so you can see them coming towards you, which is quite a sight. The cave hotel is 20 euros pp more and not worth it. The 3 star hotel is closer to a center, while the cave hotel was more remote and had a lot of manquements, like the tab was loose, the light didn't turn on, the curtain wasn't dark.. We went to the Turkish culture night were most famous Turkish dances would be preformed. But it was more like a dance party were you are invited to go to dance. No dervish dansers..

The booking to Cappadocia from Alanya went smoothly. Burak helped us very well. We were picked up at the hotel and taken back to the hotel, the trip was very well organized with plenty of breaks along the way, the guide was clear, we had plenty of time to take photos. We spent the night in a cave that was nice and neat I recommend Mania to everyone

The fairy chimneys were beautiful. Pigeon valley was stunning Excellent value your - with + 11 stops that were all interesting. Well paced with plenty of loo breaks. Only downside was the included food. The lunches you paid for if you wanted to were both excellent but other than that not really very good. In short - take snacks!

I only gave this tour 4 stars because Cappadocia was a magical place and enjoyed the tour a lot. However, there were issues with the guides and the driver. Our guide Murat seemed like a nice and professional person at the beginning. Yet, I kinda felt like his time management for this tour was terrible. For example, he gave us 20 minutes to explore the imagination valley and after 15 minutes I saw our driver started the bus and moved it to the road from the parking. Few minutes later he started honk the horn and Murat was screaming for the people to come back. On the opposite side, they stopped the bus at many shopping and demonstration venues without a time allocation and sometimes even spent 45 minutes when people bought stuff. I don’t mind them doing there side hustles but I believe they should spend less time on these stores and give more time for people to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Cappadocia. The second issue I had with the guides and the driver was their organization. For instance in the second day we came back to the cave hotel around 8.15 after the balloon ride. However, Murat was nowhere to be seen and he didn’t give us a time frame for our breakfast. After having a 10 minutes rest we headed to the restaurant for our breakfast. All of a sudden Murat came out of nowhere and said that they are ready to leave when we just started our meal. We asked him to give us 5 minutes but we just gave us 2 minutes. So, we had to leave our breakfast and run to catch up with the others in the bus. We respect the time of other people so we didn’t mind missing our breakfast. What was really frustrating us was the itinerary for the second day. After the balloon ride and breakfast we left the hotel at 8.35 and reached Imagination Valley around 9.15. As I mentioned before Murat gave us 20 minutes to enjoy the scenery. By 9.40 a.m. we left the imagination valley started our way back. That was it! Only one attraction for the whole day! After that they stopped at pottery shops, gem and sultanaite stone shops and many other places to people to buy stuff, and spent hours and hours there! Then, the batteries of the bus failed, adding salt to the wound. They spent hours repairing the bus without giving us a new bus for the rest of the tour! We finally arrived at Manavgat by 9.00 in the night. Passengers to Antalya had to drop off and take another vehicle to our hotels. The worst part is Murat had not organized a ride back to our hotel when we dropped off at Manavgat. Many guests had to spent about an hour in a gas station. Finally, a minibus picked us up and started to head towards Antalya. Murat got off from the vehicle about after 15 minutes somewhere around Manavgat without giving us any information. About half an hour later the driver told us to get off as the vehicle was only heading to Belek. However, Murat did not mention a single word about this situation to the guests! A friendly driver picked up us from Belek and took us back to Antalya. It took another hour and half for me and my family members to get off since we were at the last drop location. We finally were at the hotel by 11.30 p.m. We understand that this was a long journey and being late to be back is a part of it, and vehicle breakdowns are out of hand for the driver and the guides as well. What really make me frustrated was the fact that we were doing nothing from 9.45 a.m. until 11.30 p.m. on the second day of the tour. There were two guides and a driver on board but nobody was responsible enough for the time management and the organization of the tour. I suggest the company to hire new guides and drivers for this beautiful tour. In addition, I strongly suggest someone responsible to create a better itinerary for the two day program and provide that to the guests beforehand. I’ll add my overall ratings below. Places visited: 5/5 Hotel: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Transportation: 1/5 Guides and Driver: 1/5 Ballon ride: 5/5 Overall: 4/5

We experienced problems with the bus but Mete handled the situation and we resumed our tour no problem. He took exceptional care of guests and went above and beyond to make this tour an enjoyable success.

Unique adventurous experiences with breathtaking spectacular scenery of Cappadocia were extremely fantastic. Thank you Mete and Payless Turizm team for setting everything up, keep it up!

I was 10 minutes before my pick up time, the driver never arrived, called the company, the driver sent fake photos as the hotel was the same but I would see different items outside the hostel that where not there in his picture. He said that he was already in Konya which is 4 hors drive from Antalya only 20 minutes after my picking up time. Tola liar, don't book this tour on GetyourGuide, Viatour, booking.com or another platform just avoid, they left me out at 05:00 am with no keys as I didn't have 24 hours reception.

Start at 3am in Antalya, really long bus trip. Guid was gelpful and tried to make presentation about Turkey, history, geografic and interest points. Amazing nature and beautifull sights. Trip was not expensive but cost will ad up if you include lunch and all drinks. Acomodation was ok and night program also, but if you wanna see balons you need to pay extra for panorama or order taxi, or add another excrution. Trip was worth it just tiring becouse of meny meny hours in bus. WhatsApp contact Hande was very helpfull. Thanks for that Výlet do Kapadokie pre nás začal v Antalya v 3 rano. Vážne dlha cesta busom, sprievodca sa snažil spraviť nejaké prednášky pre nás priamo v 2 jazykoch, po čase to už bolo únavné a málo kto sa na to sústredil. Príroda a oblasť nádherná. Samotný výlet bol za super cenu, ale hneď narastie keď sa započítajú obedy a voda keďže voda sa platila zvlášť, tiež ubytovanie bolo dobre ale mimo dedinky kde štartujú balóny takže na to treba objednávať zvlášť panoramu, taxi, alebo extra vylet. No dá sa to stihnúť. Výlet stojí za to, ale je to náročné. Kontakt na WhatsApp bol nápomocný - Hande, vďaka za to.

- The guides rush you through attractions/historic sites, but dedicate hours to stop at shopping places. When lots of people on the bus complained about it and refused to go to yet another shopping place, they left us on the bus which was turned off during the extreme heat day (no AC) and were very rude to our request to turn on the AC. - The 4-star cave hotel I paid extra for was a 2-star hotel and far away from Goreme. When we asked the guide about it, he said there are no star ratings for historic hotels, which is not true. You are not able to go anywhere for a walk in the evening, to enjoy some local food/ drinks, it’s in the middle of nowhere. In fact, we did not spend any time in Goreme even next day. All the lunches / dinners are very far away from Goreme, somewhere just off the highway outside of the touristy areas, and you have to pay extra for lunches with no choice to go elsewhere and try what you want. - The company doesn’t tell you ahead of time that you can not pay for “extras” with a credit card. They only take cash and stop the bus at the ATM location for this where we all paid huge fees for foreign ATMs. I did ask the company before the trip how to add the hot air balloon to the trip, and they never mentioned i won’t be able to pay with a card and only can use cash for this expensive add-on. Other people were also very frustrated as everyone was from outside of Turkey and the fees ended up being outrageous. There was a lot of frustration from people on the bus during this trip and the above doesn’t even cover all of it. But I am sharing this because this experience had a 5-star rating when many people on our bus booked it in August, and it was the main reason I personally chose this listing and not another more local company in Antalya, as I expected the trip to be at least as good as it was described. The company refunded $25.50, which basically only covered the extra I paid to be in a 4-star cave hotel. Cappadocia was wonderful from a little glimpse of it I was able to have. I hope to come back there one day to get a proper experience. And I won’t ever be taking any bus trips anywhere in the world after this experience.

The views were amazing, the tourguide Murat gave us good explanations about the history of Cappadocia! The organizer Mete was also very helpful when we needed him. The hotel is clean, the food is really good (but lunch not included). Also bear in mind if you wanna see the hot air balloons in the morning it's an extra 28€ but so worth it!

Nice tour, confortable bus, you just need to pay lunch and extra activities if you want to. Cappadocia is amazing. Bring cash, turkey places barely accept card, use usd, eur or gbp instead.

Overall I would not recommend this tour. I was not expecting to spend 2 days on a bus. The schedule of the tour was not communicated at all prior to booking the tour or getting picked up. What I had expected to be an 8 hour coach journey to Cappadocia ended up being 17 hours ONE WAY stuck on a bus. The amount of stops on the way to Cappadocia nor the arrival time at the hotel was not communicated at all before hand. Whilst we visited a few points of interest on the bus journey from Antalya to Cappadocia, we didn't arrive at the hotel until 7pm. This meant we had next to no time in the evening to enjoy the village or the hotel we were staying at. Not to mention when we finally got dropped off at the hotel, they had run out of rooms and we were moved to another one. Thankfully the hotel we ended up staying at (Gibos Cave Hotel) was amazing and run by the kindest couple. The journey back to Antalya commenced at 9am the following day. We spent a further 12 hours on a bus. Half the seatbelts on the bus were not working. Maybe some people enjoy this kind of tour but the lack of clarity about what the tour entailed was really disappointing, and I know the other passengers shared my view. You're better off taking a Flixbus directly to Göreme and exploring the Cappadocia region at your own pace. Taxis are quite affordable, so if you don't want to walk/rent a car you will be able to get around this way instead.

This tour was simply extraordinary, an unique experience. Everything we saw, all the places where we stopped were worth it. Also, the hotel where we stayed was very nice and clean. The very friendly and professional guide gave us all the necessary information. The travel agent is very prompt and efficient. Everything was very well organised. We recommend 100%.

I fully recommend this trip to Cappadocia. Our guide (slim, dark hair man, middle age man who speking good English and Russian) was very helpful and well organized. Trip is very long but worth the effort, there was many stops. Bartu from Excursions Mania was also very helpful according to my questions before the trip. Cappadocia is the land filled with history and beautiful unique landscapes. Ballon flight was worth the price, must have on this trip. One minus I don’t recommend Turkish night, our table was a little bit forgotten and as ,,food” we only get some peanuts and fruits.

This was an amazing experience. Mete organised our pick up and drop off well and checked in on us to ensure that we had arrived home safely. Murat was a brilliant guide, and was very patient, friendly and helpful throughout. The hot air balloon ride was clearly the highlight of the trip and the main reason we wanted to go. It did not disappoint and is certainly a once in a lifetime experience. It lasts 1 hour and the team were very nice and helpful. It is tiring travelling for 2 days on the coach, however there are plenty pit stops to go to service stations for bathroom breaks and snacks. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone and definitely would suggest to do the hot air balloon ride and cave hotel.
