Yücel Açık

We met Yucel after our lovely Turkish friend ("Hande Hanim") recommended and introduced him to us based on her past holiday experience with her husband to Cappadocia. When we met Yucel, I couldn't help but notice how friendly and confident he is, and his English is also perfect! Immediately I knew we were in good hands. He took us for both the red and blue tours over the next two days. While on his guided tours, there is not a single dull moment thanks to his jokes and sense of humour and he is always giving useful and relevant information enriching our experience and even our knowledge about the history of the place from the Hittites to the Byzantines to the Romans to the Greeks. You name it, he knew it all. I believe he is also a teacher, researcher and a student of theology. All that apart, he is a very good human being and completely in sync with the people he guides. He knew when to slow down and when to pick up the pace. It felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than a "guide". Although we couldn't stay longer than two days, I know who to look up the next time I return to Cappadocia for the other places I've missed. "Tasekkur Ederim" Yucel ! (if you're reading this) and I hope to see you again soon! "Hadoukennnn!!!" :P - Osmand Lu and Cecilia
