My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
4 Days Kirsehir City & Cooking Tour Private Tour
Highlights of the 4‑Day Kirsehir City & Cooking Tour
Begin your journey in the heart of Central Anatolia, where the town of Kirsehir blends ancient heritage with modern comforts. After a smooth transfer from Nevsehir‑Cappadocia Airport, you’ll settle into a comfortable hotel and have the rest of the day free to unwind before the guided days begin.
The second day offers a deep dive into Kirsehir’s past: the Kalehoyuk (Castle Mound) Museum, a site that has witnessed continuous occupation from 3000 B.C. to the Islamic era, presents the finds from its excavations. Next, the Mucur Underground City, a subterranean labyrinth of 42 guest rooms, barns, and secret corridors, reveals how people once lived below ground. The tour culminates at Seyfe Lake, a protected nature reserve that hosts 167 species of waterbirds, including flamingos, grey herons, and crested grebes, providing a tranquil setting for bird‑watching enthusiasts.
The third day is a culinary adventure. Guided by a local chef, you’ll learn to prepare traditional Kirsehir dishes such as Tantuni, and enjoy the fruits of your labor during a communal lunch. Afterwards, free time allows you to wander the city centre, where onyx stone carvings, carpets, and kilims showcase the province’s artistic heritage. The final day concludes with a leisurely breakfast, a quick checkout, and a transfer back to Nevsehir‑Cappadocia Airport for your onward journey.
The four-day programme is built for travellers who want a compact, well-paced introduction to the province without changing hotels. You stay three nights in Kirsehir with breakfast every morning and two local lunches, one on the sightseeing day and one at the cooking class. A professional English-speaking guide accompanies the guided days, entrance fees at the visited sites are covered, and all arrival, touring and departure transfers to and from Nevsehir-Cappadocia Airport are made in an air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle.

What Our Travellers Say
Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
