Because the experience is private, the exact pace can be adjusted without following the rigid schedule of a large coach tour.
Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
First trip with BC was a whirlwind day trip from Istanbul to Gobbekletepe which was amazing but I would recommend to have an overnight rest first otherwise there’s so much information to take in on a tired brain. Second trip- this latest one was a more luxurious one from Istanbul to Cappadocia spanning 3 nights and 4 days. We stayed at the KayaKapi cave suites on Omur’s recommendation- lovely in every way from the breakfast, dinner in the hotel’s Michelin restaurant to the lovingly restored and well kept cave room that we slept in. Baris our guide was beyond amazing. His knowledge of Türkiye was encyclopaedic, his manner was warm and polite and he had the best recommendations for local food places. I was violently ill during the trip and both Baris and Omur were a godsend in their kind assistance and generous humanity, making a horrible experience much easier. Cappadocia has many many amazing sights but when you have a guide who can filter out the best of the best nooks and crannys for panoramic views or to escape the crowds at the touristy sites- that makes all the difference between a great tour and an amazing experience. I cannot recommend them enough. 10000000/10.
