Istanbul to Cappadocia Day Trip Reviews

This was an excellent overview of the 7 churches of revelation and the Cappadocia area. It is very pertinent to the history of Christian faith. Communication with Ertunga and Maria was very good.
Thank you Felicity travel for an excellent tour !

Our private tour to Cappadocia was great! Maria from Felicity travel assisted very patiently with all of arrangements and we also had a very good guide, Nylay and a very pleasant and patient driver Rasif, I think. I would recommend anyone going to Turkey to go with Maria from Felicity travel.

This trip far exceeded my expectations. During the booking process, Ertunga was extremely responsive and helpful. On the trip itself, everything went very smoothly. The itinerary was excellent, the hotels were very nice and the food was very good. Our guide, Ertunga, was very knowledgable and we really appreciated all of the stories and information that he shared. I highly recommend this company.
