Wow what an amazing tour! I really dont have words to fully describe how incredible the whole experience was. From Istanbul we were off to this magical journey of history and beauty, I couldn't believe my eyes, walking through time. Our guide was not only knowledgably but super kind and engaging. The balloon ride was like something out of a fairytale! Standnig on those ancient grounds in Gobekli Tepe, it really brought out the adventurer in me and at one point even made me quite emotional, almost like sensing the whispers of the past. Would definately recomend this adventure to anyone looking for magic and a touch of ancient history!
I recently took a private tour to Cappadocia and Gobekli Tepe and Wow, just wow! 😍 My heart is full from the adventures we embarked on. It was seamless from Istanbul and honestly like travelling back in time. Watching hot air balloons at sunrise in Cappadocia? Spectacular. Then the mystery and history at Gobekli Tepe just gave me chills, It is older than we can imagine! Our guide was super attentive and catered everything to our curious minds. Tried delicious local cuisines too. Best birthday trip ever, such emotions I still can’t wrap my head around!! Cannot recommend it more highly. ❤️✈️
The tour was an incredible journey through history and culture! Honestly, the views in Cappadocia felt like something out of a fairy tale, especially during sunset. I'd been wanting to see the hot air balloons forever and they didn't dissapoint. Everything felt perfectly planned, thanks to the wonderful guide. Meeting new friends along the way was an unexpected bonus. However, the weather in Sanliurfa was a bit too warm for my liking, but witnessing Göbeklitepe with all its mystery and amazement made up for it. Felt like time travel back to anciemt civilizations. Worth every penny!
