My family booked the small group Green Tour with Stoneland back in May 2024 for December 2024. The night before our tour, we texted Stoneland Travel and they confirmed our tour pick up at 0930h-0945h. On the day of the tour, we waited until about 1005h before they picked us up from our hotel in a sedan. We were informed they would transfer us to a tour bus - while in the car, we were informed by the driver that there was a mix up and they had thought our booking was for 2 pax (instead of 4 pax). After circling around Goreme town centre aimlessly, we were eventually dropped off at the office of a different tour company (after our driver made multiple calls, presumably to sort out their mess). We were then told by another staff that our pick up was late because the hot air balloons landed late that day, and there was a consequent delay in picking up the other tour participants. This was a lie. The other members of the tour group we eventually joined told us that they did not go for the hot air balloon ride. In the end, it appears that Stoneland Travel outsourced our tour to another company. The tour guide who took us in seemed equally confused as us, suggesting that this was a last minute arrangement. Terrible communication and a total lack of accountability.

Haf a great experience, Our guide Mehmet (muhammad) was very active and helping, he made sure there wasnt a dull moment during the long drives and kept sharing useful historical knowledge of the area with us. We visited couple of places, for me the best part were the caves.

Me and my friend went on this tour and it was amazing, great historical significance and beautiful landscape. Our guide Selim Ayas was great, he was super friendly and super informative, he was genuinely passionate about the tour and what he was talking about, he did this despite three others on the tour being very rude and arrogant toward him, he showed great professionalism. Would recommend this tour for anyone

THE best time of my life. I’ve never seen such a stunning view before. We were blessed with perfect weather and great conditions. Though it was early in the morning, a shuttle bus picked us up right at the hotel lobby, and we were taken to the launch area in the dark. There, warm coffee and tea were served as we waited for the hot air balloon to be ready. Once we took off, the view was absolutely incredible, and we floated for what felt like a perfect amount of time. Afterward, we toasted with champagne and received a certificate. This is an experience everyone should have at least once in their life!

In Göreme, there are many activity options, but aside from the hot air balloon tour, I would highly recommend the Classic Car Tour. You can take amazing photos with the best car and the best scenery. The driver is also very friendly, and the journey itself was enjoyable. There is plenty of time for photoshooting, and you get to visit various valleys, with the chance to see the most beautiful sunset!

today I travel with an anazing tour guide, Sefa Yuksel, in Cappadocia. i went on the green tour. from the start to the finish everything was amazing. Going into the caves, the underground city were hundreds lived and survived through perilous times was so incredible. Sefa explained things clearly and entertained questions ffom the group. I would highly this tour, especially with Sefa.

We went to several amazing places including Pigeon Valley, Derinkuyu, Selime, Ihlara. Also an amazing lunch on the river. All guided by Selim who was very knowledgable and engaging and funny. Book this tour without hesitation.

Wonderfully rewarding day with our very witty and knowledgeable guide, Selim. He was very attentive and patient and warm and treated us like his family.

We have had an unforgettable day touring the Goreme Open Air Museum, Love Valley, Avanos Pottery, Uchisar Castle with Selim. Selim is an exceptional tour guide who is full of information about the sites, with over 20 years experience patience, thoughtfulness and laughter. A day etched in our memories forever.

Excellent tour. We were picked up from our hotel on time, our tour guide was absolutely delightful - really good fun as well as being very knowledgeable. We saw everything we wanted to see, with enough time for an unhurried lunch.

Very informative tour from Tafun. He was very knowledgeable and looked after us very well. Thank you for a wonderful tour.

I had booked this tour months ago with Stoneland Turkey and was confirming a few things before my trip next week. Mehmet from Stoneland Travel answers a few questions and then abruptly cancels my paid booking because I asked questions. REALLY? If you cannot answer your guests' questions, then YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. Mehmet: you should go get training on how to talk to customers to DO YOUR JOB cause clearly you are in the wrong business. He proceeded to call me a terrible customer like a child and then deleted the message. SHAME ON YOU.

Great arrangement by Stoneland Turkey Travel! From the hotel pickup in Istanbul to the airport, flights, and car booking from Istanbul to Cappadocia, everything went so smoothly, thanks to the owner Mehmet and his team. We were lucky that the weather was good, allowing us to ride in the hot air balloon. It was an incredible experience! We joined the Red and Green Tours. Both tour guides, Selim and Merve, were very friendly and experienced. Merve, in particular, was extremely knowledgeable and informative regarding the background and history of the area. Selim, with his good sense of humour, made the tour more fun and interesting. Staying at the Hira Cave Hotel was delightful. The view from the hotel roof top was breathtaking, and it was clean and convenient. I highly recommend anyone visiting Cappadocia to stay at this hotel and book with Stoneland Turkey Travel, a very responsible and efficient agency.

Cappadocia, Turkey is a phenomenally interesting place about 1 hr or so by plane from Istanbul. Do not miss it!!! Spent two very full days seeing everything--the Green Tour and the Red Tour. Matt (Mertz) was our guide and is a real scholar, excellent teacher, and super man--perfect as the guide. This is a World Heritage Site and must not be missed. The area, comprised of 5 small towns, was formed when Turkey was under the Mediterranean and the volcano that it sat on erupted in rather small squirts, forming amazing conical structures of volcanic ash that resemble Indian teepees, some very large and some smaller that were hollowed out about thousands of years ago and used for residences, churches, etc. There are also underground hidden cities used for protection as far back as the Hittites, and you can take tours of these cities--truly mind-boggling and so worth the trip. There are lovely, interesting hotels throughout the area, some built into the structures, to stay in. This is truly one of the most interesting places that I've visited!!

Disappointed that our guide didn't speak very good English and was difficult to understand what he was saying due to his heavily accented English. Other tour guides around us seemed to speak much more clearly and comprehensively with their groups. We were given some brief history on the bus before arriving at points of interest and then left to explore by ourselves whilst the guide sat down and had a drink and a smoke. The underground city and the monastery were supposed to be the highlights of the tour but we were given 30 mins at both to rush through and then nearly an hour at a tourist trap jewellery store again whilst the guide headed off for a drink and smoke. Lunch was average but filling but more time there than we needed. Again the guide dropped us off and went and had lunch with his friends. Overall compared to other tour groups around us we had a lazy and uninspiring tour guide who rushed us through the interesting sites so he could drop us off at tourist traps and disappear for a drink. He also slept on the bus between stops.
