My first time to Cappadocia and what an amazing experience it was. l was not aware of such history existed within central Turkey. I visited Devrent Valley, Open Air Museum and Monk Valley. Monk Valley was my favourite site, the structures and chimneys were mind blowing. The art in the caves at the Open Air Museum were incredible and had such detail. Lunch was at a authentic restaurant with pleasant staff and amazing food. Alex our guide was brilliant he was very informative and left nothing out. He also answered every question he was asked. Full of knowledge and an amazing guide. He was polite and always kept us in the loop for everything i was doing and had planned to do. His love and admiration for his home town Cappadocia was heartfelt. Highly recommend this tour as Cappadocia has so much to offer
