Pros: The tour guide was timely and even called our hotel room to make sure we were ready. We had a fun day! We enjoyed the sights, such as the fairy chimneys of the Cappadocia area. The bus driver was excellent and he also took many photos/videos of us! We loved the amazing views they showed us. At the jewelry shop, she told us about the Zultanite gem. I bought an engagement ring. I also got to try out making pottery at another stop. The restaurant they took us to was so delicious! The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a detailed history of the area. She also told us about the religious motifs found in the Open Air Museum. Overall, we had a great day!
Cons: The tour took us to a lot of factory shops (3) where I found that to be a bit excessive. They even offered to take us to a 4th but we respectively declined. The tour description mentions wine tasting, but we did not end up doing that.
