The past 10 days have been an eye opening experience for us. The trip was well planned and we had ample time to slowly walk and take good pictures in the historical sites. The accommodations were good, apart from some noise issues for 2 nights. Thankfully, our awesome guide, Barb came to our rescue, by calling the reception immediately and arranging for a room swop and we were able to catch a good night rest after. We love the cave hotel at Cappadocia the most. Our guide Barb also provided us with lots of information and advice during the trip, giving us a better picture of not only the tourist areas but also how the locals live. He also recommends the best coffee stops during the trip! All in all, apart from 2 sleepless nights, it has been an unforgettable trip for both of us and definitely completing our travel Bucket List! Plus, we have to add that Barb is the Best! Whoo Hoo!! And also special thanks to our driver Matin as well who took care of us during the trip by driving us to our destinations and waiting patiently for us to return and sending us safely back to our hotels and to the airport. 🤗🤗
