Our insider tips

Terrorist attacks have happened in Turkey. Is it safe to go there?

Millions of foreigners visit Turkey every year and most visits are trouble-free. Sirnak, Mardin, Sanliurfa, Gaziantep, Kilis, and Hatay provinces are the places advised to avoid.

Do I have to be careful about how I dress in a country with many Muslim people?

Tourists should respect religious customs, particularly during the month of Ramadan. Dress modestly when visiting mosques or religious shrines.

What people are saying about Cappadocia

Absolutely magnificent and worth seeing!

I am very satisfied about the service and trip alltogether. From the very beginning all of my questions were answered. Their webcare employees reply very fast and are friendly. The basket is divided in sections. The take off, air balloon ride itself and landing was very subtle. It was an unforgettable trip for me. Thank you for making this happen. I definitely recommend it!

Full-Day Private Cappadocia Tour Reviewed by Kristiana, 06/07/2018

Very interesting tour, however start and end time on GYG are wrong

Very informative tour. Excellent guide - Miskhut. However tour was listed on GYG as 8 hour tour from 9:00 to 17:00. I was picked up from bus at 9:40 am and was told it will end around 18:30. I and another couple were late to our flights. Our guide had to arrange free private car to transfer us to our hotels.
