Booked this for our honeymoon and it was romantic despite being a group tour. The sunset viewpoint in Cappadocia was magical. Food was hit or miss at different stops but overall enjoyable trip.

Traveling solo as a woman I felt safe throughout the whole journey. Other travelers in our group were friendly and we still keep in touch. The library ruins reminded me of studying classics in college. Learned so much about early Christian communities I never knew existed.

Did this with my elderly parents and they managed fine. Some walking involved but nothing too strenuous.
