What's Included

  • ✓ Hotel Pick-up and Drop-off
  • ✓ Professional Instructor Throughout the Tour
  • ✓ Free English Audio Guide

What's Not Included

  • ✗ Personal Expenses
  • ✗ Tips (Optional)

A relaxed daytime horse ride for travellers who prefer to sleep in or who arrive in Cappadocia on the same day. Departing mid-morning, this tour covers the gentler trails of Love Valley and Sword Valley with plenty of stops for photos, water, and orientation. Daylight gives you the best visibility into the cave dwellings, rock-cut churches, and pigeon houses that line the valley walls — features that are harder to see during sunrise or sunset tours. Free pickup from your hotel, calm horses, English-speaking guide, and a 4-hour ride that finishes in time for a late Turkish lunch.

I don’t know if there are any valleys we haven’t been to yet, but we have walked far and wide. It was a bit hot, but well worth it.

What I liked the most was the amazing view at sunrise. Flying over the valleys and fairy chimneys was beautiful and very peaceful. The colors of the sky made the moment feel special. I also liked how calm the ride was. Seeing many balloons in the sky at the same time was incredible. It was a great experience that I will never forget.
