Winter In Cappadocia

At the beginning I was using a 98 model Vw Transporter for my private tours and in 2006, I bought a brand new Vw Caravelle Comfortline to provide better service to my clients. It is a reliable vehicle in very good condition. It is tuned every 10,000 kms. If there is any worn or broken parts I always replace them with genuine VW parts. All the seats can be folded down or dismounted to provide more space for the luggage. If you are a group of 8 or 9 persons and need more room for the luggage I can place a Thule brand roof box of 196 X 78 X 44 cm size on the top of the van. In Turkey the speed limit is 90 km/h on the regular highways and 120 km/h on the motorways. The fuel consumption of the minivan is 150 Euros worth regular diesel fuel every 1,000 km. on regular motorways. Considering high fuel rates in Turkey, this is often less than a regular small gas powered car consumes. All 9 passenger seats and my seat as the driver of the van is covered with an insurance. During your trip I will provide you a Compaq Presario notebook incorporating the latest WiFi technology to connect you to high-speed WiFi networks and give you access to instant information from the Web, use your e-mail on the move and make free voice calls with Skype. I will also provide you a cellular phone with a rechargeable local sim card to allow you to make international calls. There are two 12 volts power plugs underneath the seats and you can charge them using my 150 W output adaptor.

My Old Vw Transporter

  

 

My 98 model Vw Transporter van was a very reliable vehicle. I have been driven it for more than 3 years. Although it had many miles on it, it was in very good condition. Here are some pictures of that old friend.
