Cappadocia Private Tour 3 Days with Luxury Cave Hotel and Guide

Customizable private Cappadocia stay with a luxury cave hotel: the key facts

This is a 3-day, 2-night private package that starts and ends at the Cappadocia airport rather than in Istanbul. The fixed part is short: a private transfer from the airport, two nights in a luxury five-star cave hotel, two private tours in a luxury minivan with your own guide, and a private transfer back to the airport. Everything else is up to you, such as a balloon flight, a horse ride, wine tasting, a cooking class, a Turkish night or a Turkish bath.

It suits couples and small groups who want a comfortable base and a guide for two outings, but prefer to choose their own activities. Flights are not included but can be added. The price is from $630 per person.

What exactly are the two private tours?

This is the point to clear up first. The inclusions list two private tours with a luxury minivan and a private guide, but the day-by-day plan does not say on which days they run or which sights they cover. Day 1 is arrival, Day 2 is "activities of your choice" and Day 3 is departure. Ask us to set out in writing which two tours you get, when they start and finish, and which entrance fees are included. Many guests pick a north route such as the Red Tour and a south route such as the Green Tour, but agree it with us before you pay.

Are flights from Istanbul included?

No. Flight tickets are listed as an exclusion. The page offers round-trip Istanbul-Cappadocia flights with transfers as an extra for $160, which you can add in the booking form. If you already have your own flights, send us the flight numbers so the driver meets you on time; the page does not say which Cappadocia airport the transfers use, so tell us which one you land at. If you would prefer a package with flights and a fixed programme, see our Cappadocia from Istanbul options.

Which hotel is it, and are meals included?

The page describes a luxury five-star cave hotel for both nights but does not name it, so ask which hotel is booked for your dates. Lunches and dinners are not included. Breakfast is not mentioned either way, so ask us to confirm it in writing. If you want to compare cave hotels yourself, our cave hotels in Cappadocia page lists rock-cut stays, and where to stay in Cappadocia explains the different towns.

Is the hot air balloon included?

No. A sunrise flight from Goreme is an extra at $310. With two nights, you have two possible mornings, Day 2 and Day 3, so booking the balloon for Day 2 leaves Day 3 as a possible backup if your flight time allows. Flights only go ahead when the civil aviation office allows them, and wind can cancel a morning. If you do not want to fly, a balloon watching tour takes you to sunrise viewpoints. Our balloon price guide compares flight types.

Which other activities can we add?

The page lists a horse ride at $85 as a priced extra. It also names other choices without prices: ATV rides, hiking, wine tasting, a cooking class with a local family, a Turkish bath and a Turkish night with music and dance. Ask us for current prices for those you want and we will add them to the written plan. You can see some of these on our horseback riding, sunset ATV and Turkish night show pages, but the prices there may differ from the add-on prices on this package.

How much walking is involved?

That depends on what you choose. The fixed parts of the package are transfers and two guided tours in a minivan, so the walking is mostly short visits at viewpoints, valleys and open-air sites. If you add a valley hike or an underground city, expect dirt paths, uneven ground and steps. Comfortable trainers are a good choice for any day out. If someone in your group has limited mobility, tell us when booking so the two tours can be planned around easier stops.

Can we stay longer?

Yes. The page says you can extend your stay and explore Cappadocia at your own pace, and extra days can be added in the booking form. On Day 3 you can also fit in one more activity before the airport transfer if your flight time allows. For a longer fixed programme, compare the private 3-day Cappadocia tour package from $425 per person or the customizable Cappadocia package from $210 per person; check each page for its hotel and inclusions.
