Top Uchisar Hiking & Camping

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars. Halil is a wonderful guide - really knows his stuff, happy to answer all your questions and share his knowledge. Pickup and dropoff with his partner, Caroline, who was lovely.The hike was well paced, plenty of stops for shade, rest, juice, pictures. Lunch was simple and yummy, just what you need to keep going. Lovely treat at the end with an opportunity to taste local wine, very nice.If you want a proper moderate hike (15 km, +200m/-400m) to explore the region and see and hear about centuries old civilization, local nature and geology, with no nonsense like shopping or tourist stops, this is it! I wish I had more days here, I would spend them all with Halil!

Our full day of hiking with Halil was one of those experiences our family will remember long after our trip to Cappadocia. He led the four of us through valleys where we often felt as though we had the landscape entirely to ourselves, bringing the region to life with stories of its ancient churches and frescoes, local vegetation, Byzantine history, and the people who once lived in this extraordinary landscape.Halil is warm, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly loves sharing his passion for this fascinating part of the world. By the end of the day, our daughter had nicknamed him “Indiana Jones”—which seemed pretty fitting after hours spent following him through hidden valleys and ancient rock-cut churches.I can’t imagine traveling to Cappadocia without hiking its valleys. Personally, I’d skip the hot-air balloons, horseback riding and quad bikes, lace up your hiking boots, and explore the valleys on foot with an expert local guide. For our family of four adults, a day walking, talking, discovering and learning together with Halil gave us a connection to Cappadocia and its history that we simply wouldn’t have had otherwise.

The sunset hike with Samil, Mehmed and Oscar was just simply amazing! It’s like spending half a day hiking with friends. We learnt a lot about the culture & history as we hiked around the Red & Rose Valleys, visited the Column Church & had fresh orange juice from a cafe at the summit. We caught the sunset from the summit as well, and the view was stunning. Oscar was a great guide! I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the beauty of the Red & Rose Valleys.

Balloon experience was absolutely superb!!After being disappointed by the change of weather and two days of cancelled balloon flights, Real Dreams Travel helped us secure a last minute booking. Couldn’t rate the agent highly enough, he went above and beyond to help ensure we got a balloon trip before we headed home. Thank you so much, this was definitely a bucket list experience ticked off!!✅❤️👍🏼

The guide was accurate and professional. We visited a beautiful church (hidden behind the pigeon house) that on no other tour would have us visit. Near the cafeteria where you stop to rest (note: drinks are not included, only water at the beginning of the tour) there is another frescoed church that, unlike the others we have seen, is not closed (perhaps because it is not reached DA many people) and you can visit. We enjoyed the sunset and the view of the rose Valley in the middle of a not too challenging route. Best tour of Cappadocia for us! (We also did the Red tour and the green tour)

I recently joined the local green tour of Cappadocia with Tugba, and it was fantastic. Tugba's friendly and approachable nature made the tour enjoyable and informative. She shared great insights about the region's history and culture. The tour was well-organized, covering beautiful spots and hidden gems. Tugba's enthusiasm and professionalism really enhanced the experience. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my Green Tour with Angelo’s Travel with our beautiful guide Miss Tuğba. We were 7 people in total in the tour and I like how Miss Tuğba handled all of us. Even if I am solo traveller, he did not make me feel like I’m alone. She always takes my photos. She explains properly the place we are visiting. She always ask our group for any activity we would like to add or not. She is also respective for the time. She really controlled our time very well that we did a lot of things. I saw her again the next day in an another tour but she still recognized me and still give me the warm smile like I’ve never left. I really recommend travelling with them with Miss Tuğba as your guide.

What can ı say it is perfect. Fatih is a vey good tour guide and an organizer. I just want to tell to all you. Trust him and his suggestions. He can arrange all your tour, your transportation and reservations. He is dealing with you all the time day and night. You can reach him anytime you want. I change one of the restaurant he suggested and at the end we went there 2 times because We loved it. As I said before he is not only tour guide . He organize all your trip. From Airport transport to tours and restaurants and Turkish night. Fatih süper bir tur rehberi ve organize etti. Bizim havalımanı transferden tüm rezervasyonları o yaptı ve çok memnun kaldık. Başka rehber aramayın direkt Fatihi arayın

Without a doubt one of the best tours I have ever been on . Being a solo traveller can be lonely at times but from the very moment of meeting my guide Halil he made me feel like we were old friends going for a hike. The scenery was absolutely amazing and magical with Halil asking many times to put your imagination into play. The stops for freshly squeezed juice along the way including a refreshing lunch prepared by Halil. Halil is a wonderful guide and you can’t help but be engulfed in the beautiful countryside and the history behind everywhere you walk. Halil has a wicked sense of humour which I absolutely adore, he is very personable! Day finished off with a lovely glass of Turkish Wine. Thank you Halil, the experience was one that will stay with me for a very long time. Great value for money…. I told Halil he was undercharging. Highly recommend ❤️

Our guide, Halil, was engaging, full of history and fun to spend the day with. This may have been our favorite experience in Turkey. It is truly a magical place to explore. A decent level of fitness is required for this full day of hiking.

(We also did the Red tour and the green tour) We booked with Cool Destinations but recommend booking on goremetrip.com , the site developed by the guide, because sites like Cool Destinations and getyourguide take 30% commission.

What a fantastic tour we had. DE trek through DE red and rose valley was breathtakingly beautiful. DE colors, DE rock formations, the view, a fantastic sunset. But what was most fantastic about DE trip was Oskar together with DE guide. Our children EN were totally in love with Oskar, and greatly enjoyed DE walk. They were so busy with Oskar, they made the walk without DE effort. We look back on it with great pleasure! Highly recommended for anyone with kids!

Tour was mesmerizing. Thanks to our tour guide Ms. Tugba. She is an amazing guide full of energy and with excellent information about cappadocia. She helped us and got good discount on our gem shopping (Zultanite jewellery). Lunch was delicious. Thanks to Tugba for unforgettable memories. Loads of Love from India.

Tugba and Osman provided excellent tour around the area. They were really friendly and helpful guide. Tugba english was nice and she provided good commentary while Osman driving was excellent. We got to see all the significant sites in the region and stopped by Ilhavra valley for lunch and afternoon prayer. they also went extra mile and took us to Avanos Pottery even though it was not part of tour.

The highlight of my Cappadocia trip! Yes, it is nice to see the valleys from above. But having to experience it on foot with the best-est guide In Cappadocia, Halil, is a whole lot of experience. He thoroughly explained the history of the area, how people lived and how genius the were. Trully amazing! I’ll never forget this trip. Thank you Halil and to your wife and dog for your kindness! Til next time! 🍷

Such a great day, our favorite part of our trip. Halil Erdin was the perfect guide to show us all hidden part of Cappadocia. It s the perfect balance between walk, visit and nice orange juice stops. On top of that, Halil Erdin speaks fluent French. We highly recommand this tour.
