The Cave hotel was a unique experience. Enjoyed our stay there. The employees treated us like family. The balloon ride was amazing. I would just allow participants to have a break period to recover from the early 4 am balloon ride and tour.

Better instructions needed when meeting the shuttle at Istanbul airport upon return from Cappadocia. Once we finally met the driver he didn’t speak English and could not understand we needed the heat in the shuttle turned off. We roasted all the way back to our hotel

Cappadocia is a must see trip. The hot air balloon ride was amazing and should not be missed. Even if you are afraid of heights, you do not feel scared. The gondola is large solid and secure. The ride is smooth, they will not launch if the weather is not good. The day tour was beautiful and interesting. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. The Hotel Cappadocia was very nice and the breakfast was a feast. The staff were very kind and attentive. The only complaint was the transportation back to our Istanbul hotel. After being up for 19 hours it took to long for the transportation company they booked us with to get our van to pick us up. Then he was smoking while driving the crazy streets of Istanbul. A few of our group was already feeling ill from being up so long and the driving. Add in the smell of cigarettes after all that and he almost had a van to clean. Then he tried to get to our hotel by going past the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia during Ramadan. He dropped us off 500m from our hotel when he's wrong route took him to a dead end road. I would suggest booking 2 nights to avoid being overly tired on the return trip. The balloon ride on the first morning with a little touring after. Then the balance of the sites on the second day.
