English below 最高のプライベートツアーでした！ 私は日本人で英語がほとんど使えませんが、予約の取れる日本語のガイドが見つからず、こちらを予約しました。 終日共にしてくれたミセスSevdeさんはとても親切でホスピタリティのある女性ガイドでした。 最初「英語が使えないのになぜ英語のガイドを頼んだのですか？」と聞かれ、困らせてしまいましたが、彼女は翻訳アプリを堪能に使い、ベストを尽くしてくれました。 飛行機便の都合で、午後からのツアーとなりましたがリクエストに沿って主要スポットの地下遺跡、オルタヒサル、ウチヒサル、ギョレメ博物館・公園を回ってもらいました。どこも歴史的背景がとても興味深い地域で、すごくロマンを感じました。 このプランでは、パッケージツアーに良く立ち寄られる土産物スポット（陶器工房、トルコ絨毯の工房、トルコ石のジュエリーショップ）への来訪もあります。これらが、ただのお土産屋さんだったらガッカリですが、それぞれデモンストレーションや文化的背景のエピソードを聞くのはとても楽しかったです。 ※各所で粘り強い売り込みがありますが、「私には購入意志が無い」と断っても、特にトラブルにはなりませんでした。 ーーーー It was the best private tour I have ever had! I am Japanese and can barely speak English, but I could not find a Japanese-speaking guide that I could book with, so I booked this tour. The guide, Mrs. Sevde, who was with us all day was a very kind and hospitable lady. At first she asked me, "Why did you ask for an English-speaking guide if you cannot use English?" She did her best with her translation app, which she used very well. Due to the flight schedule, the tour started in the afternoon, but she took us to the main spots of Kaymaklı Yeraltı Şehri, Ortahisar, Uçhisar, and Göreme according to our request. All of them have very interesting historical backgrounds and I felt very romantic. This plan also includes visits to souvenir shops (Paint & Pottery Studios, a Turkish carpet workshop, and a Turkish stone jewelry store), which are common stops on package tours. *There were persistent sales pitches at each place, but we didn't get into any trouble when we refused, saying "I have no intention to buy. I would be disappointed if these were just souvenir shops, but I enjoyed listening to each one's demonstration and episodes of cultural background.

Very great experience. The guide was knowledgable and suggested a lot of different spots, and the lunch place he took us was vegetarian friendly! Overall, I would recommend this tour to everyone
