Cappadocia 2-Day Tour: What's Included and What Costs Extra
A tour price only means something when you know where it stops. This page lists everything in the fare, every optional extra with its price, and the few costs that catch people out.
Short answer
The tour fare includes the coach from your hotel and back with a licensed guide, one night in a 3- or 4-star hotel, dinner on day 1, breakfast on day 2 and entrance to the Underground City. Everything else is optional and paid on the trip: two lunches, the Red Valley sunset, the Cappadocia show, the jeep safari, the sunrise terrace, drinks, a single room, and the hot-air balloon, which is estimated and never part of the fare. Current prices are on the tour price page.
What is included in the Cappadocia 2-day tour price?
Five things are in the fare, and they are the backbone of the trip. The coach collects you from your hotel at night and brings you back on the evening of day 2, with our licensed guide aboard; the guide's language depends on the group and season.
You spend the night in a 3- or 4-star hotel in Cappadocia, allocated by availability; we never name a hotel in advance. Dinner at the hotel on day 1 and breakfast at the hotel on day 2 are included, as is your entrance to the Underground City museum.
Adults aged 8 and over pay the full fare, children aged 2–7 pay a reduced child fare, and babies aged 0–1 sit on a parent's lap and take no seat. Tour prices and optional extras may change according to the selected date and availability. Please check our current tour page for the latest information.
What costs extra, and how much?
Every extra is your choice. You can take all of them, a few or none, and the fare stays the same.

Why is the balloon shown as a range?
Because the price changes from day to day. Prices generally range from €100–€300 per person, depending on the day and availability, and the final price is not fixed in advance. A flight also needs suitable weather and official aviation approval, assessed daily, so it may operate or be cancelled.
Our licensed guide assists on the trip with availability, current prices and options. The balloon price guide explains the range in full.
Which costs do people tend to forget?
- Breakfast on the first morning. The café stop is a break, not a meal in the fare; a breakfast box from your own hotel solves it.
- Drinks. Water, tea, coffee and soft drinks with meals and at stops are paid as you go, except at the show, where drinks are unlimited.
- The single-room supplement if you travel alone and want a room to yourself.
- A hotel upgrade, if suitable rooms are free and you ask for one; the guide can help arrange it and it may cost extra.
- The entrance fee for a child booked at the child fare who turns out to be 8 or older.
- Souvenirs at the shopping stops, if something catches your eye.
Do the shopping stops cost anything?
No. The programme includes three shopping stops: the onyx and sultanite centre on day 1, then the leather centre with its fashion show and the Turkish delight centre on day 2. Entering is free and buying is entirely up to you. Our shopping stops guide explains what to expect.
Do I have to take the extras the group takes?
No. The extras are optional for each guest. What does not change is the group programme itself: our excursions operate according to a planned itinerary, participants stay with the group and follow the programme arranged by the guide, and independent visits to other attractions during the trip are not possible.
Tell the guide which extras you would like and they will be arranged within that programme. The Cappadocia show guide and the jeep safari guide help you choose.
How and when do I pay?
Nothing is paid online. You pay the tour fare in euros, Turkish lira or US dollars on the day, and the extras you choose are paid on the trip. Free cancellation runs up to 48 hours before the start, and you can book up to 20 guests at once through the booking form.
