It was a great experience for me and my wife. Visit Cappadocia and, the ancient site, the underground city and the hot air balloon ride, you simply have to see and experience. The Driver did a very good job, and our guide Metin was a nice an professional person. We listen to him with passion, when he told us storys about the country. 5 out of 5 stars we would do again. Thank you Vigo Tours

(5.0)Cappadocia Tour
Collection from our hotel was early, and we set off with our driver in a small coach that was showing its age a little, but safe. Our guide was excellent throughout, spoke good English and was knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately, our Balloon trip was unable to go ahead due to the weather, but our guide and driver made sure we took in all the sights of cappadocia so we didn't feel we'd missed out too much. To and from cappadocia, we stopped at various mosques and karavanasary along the way, so the journey was broken up nicely. The only bad thing about the tour was our hotel in Cappadocia... The "By Cappadocia Hotel & Spa" was supposedly 5 star, but was extremely poor. The shower was a challenge, with no shower door or curtains, the food was poor and often cold, most staff were disinterested and the wearing of face masks was not enforced. The rooms were noisy and the pool was covered in a layer of scum. However, given the amount we paid for the whole tour, we appreciate the constraints of the budget! In the whole, we enjoyed our cappadocia tour and would recommend it... Just try and stay in a different hotel!

(4.0)Schöne Landschaft!
Wir sind mit Vigo Tours nach Kappadokien gefahren. Die Reise war lang, aber gut. Kappadokien ist wirklich ein sehr interessanter Ort. Die Reiseleiterin war so hilfreich. Das Hotel hatte keinen hohen Standard, aber sauber und guter Service mit freundlichem Personal.

(4.0)Reise nach Kappadokien
Wir hatten die Reise von Side nach Kappadokien gebucht. Die Kommunikation vor der Reise hat sehr gut geklappt. Die Agentur war sehr professionell und sehr freundlich. Sie sind sogar einigen speziellen Wünschen entgegen gekommen. Wir wurden pünktlich direkt vor unserem Hoteleingang abgeholt. Der Bus war sehr bequem und natürlich klimatisiert. Obwohl die Reise nach Kappadokien mehr als 6 Stunden dauern sollte, wurde dies uns durch mehreren Pausen sehr erträglich gemacht. Die Fahrt ging durch das Taurusgebirge. Die Landschaft ist einmalig. Während man unten in Side am Strand lag, lag hier teilweise Schnee. Kappadokien kann man nicht mit Worten erklären. Man muss diesen Ort mindestens einmal im Leben gesehen haben. Oben sind die feenhaften Schornsteine Kappadokiens, Felsenkirchen und -häuser und unten sind die unterirdischen Labyrinthe, ähnlich Katakomben, die man mit einem riesen Steinrad schließen kann und sich damit gegen Angriffe von Außen schützen konnte. Diese Höhlenwohnungen sollen den frühen Christen als Zufluchtsort gedient haben. Das Ihlara-Tal ist ein Naturschönheit, die muss auch auf jeden Fall gesehen worden sein. Diese Reise war jeden Cent wert und wir empfehlen sie jedem von ganzem Herzen. Vielen Dank an die Jungs von Vigo tours, dass sie uns diese Reise vermittelt haben.
