I was really looking forward to my Cappadocia tour from Istanbul and I wasn’t disappointed. The tour was well-managed and had some great tours included. My favorite parts were the balloon ride over the fairy chimneys on the second day, and then a hot air balloon ride over Goreme valley, where I saw all the amazing rock formations all around me!
