- Derinkuyu Underground City - After a 40-minute drive, the tour arrives at the Underground City. Initially used by locals as a natural deep freeze, it later served as a refuge for the late Romans against potential Arabian invasions. With the guide’s detailed explanations, visitors will spend nearly an hour exploring.
- Ihlara Valley - Located 52 km from the Underground City, the entrance to Ihlara Valley is reached after approximately 45 minutes. The valley was formed by volcanic activity from Mt. Hasan, with the Melendiz River eroding it over millions of years, creating an 80-meter-deep canyon. The entire valley stretches 14 km. Historically, Christians inhabited various parts of the valley, carving and painting churches. A 3.5 km hike, lasting about 1 hour and 15 minutes, leads to a restaurant for lunch.
- Ihlara Valley Kahvalti Salonu - Enjoy a 1-hour lunch by the river in the valley. The meal begins with soup and salad, followed by a choice of main dishes, and concludes with seasonal fruits.
- Yaprakhisar - After lunch, the guide will lead the group to Yaprakhisar, a unique location known for its conical fairy chimneys. Resembling a Star Wars film set, Yaprakhisar is often referred to as the “Star Wars Movie Set.”
- Selime Monastery - The tour continues to Selime Monastery, another location reminiscent of a movie set. Although it initially appears castle-like, the presence of shelters, churches, chapels, bedrooms, storages, and a large cathedral confirms its identity as a monastery. Visitors will learn about monastic life in Cappadocia.
- Pigeon Valley - The climb to Selime Monastery may be tiring, but there will be about an hour to rest before reaching Pigeon Valley. During the journey, the guide will share traditions, cultures, and stories about Anatolia. Upon arrival, pigeons will greet visitors at the top of the valley. Pigeons have always been significant to the people of Cappadocia, with their eggs and droppings used for various purposes. Locals carved houses for them into the valley slopes, which visitors will see firsthand.
- Kapadokya El Sanatları Merkezi - The final stop on the tour is a visit to an onyx factory in Uçhisar. Onyx, a volcanic stone with various colors and minerals, is found in Cappadocia due to its volcanic nature. At the factory, a master will explain the onyx shaping process and demonstrate a shaping show.
17:00-18:00 The tour concludes with a return to the hotel.

Amazing agency and tours in Cappadocia - There are many tourist agencies in Goreme-Cappadocia but without a doubt it was a success to arrive and coordinate everything with them.
The attention and customer service offered is perfect, we just entered the office and Shahin was very helpful and invited us a delicious tea.
We agreed to do the Green and the red tour with them, everything was perfectly agreed, we left punctual and the guides were excellent, the tours are full day, discovering and knowing about the history of the area, with lunch included.
We had a pleasure of meeting Mehmet, who is the owner of the agency, a very kind person who perfectly understands travelers.
Also we recommend taking the classic car tour for sunrise, that was a big win and amazing sunrise.
Many thanks to Stoneland for providing excellent service, the tours are of quality without a doubt that if you visit Goreme-Cappadocia I recommend 100% this agency.

Very "average" - Unfortunately this tour was very "average" & therefore disappointing. Whilst our guide was very pleasant & interesting there was just so much more that could have been done to make this Tour better
On the negative side;
No aircon in the bus ( a very hot August)
Too much down time / wasted time
The first stop at a jewelley "factory" was just a hard sell stop
Lunch venue was NOT as advertised. The adverts show siting in a private space next to the river. The reality is trestle tables which reminded me of Boarding school.
50TL for a coke at lunch and must be paid in cash
We were running almost an hour late (too much down time!) but the bus still stopped for petrol on the way home. This should have been done prior to the tour starting.
On a positive note the Underground City and Monastery were very interesting & worth visiting
