Amazing experience. - Amazing experience to be able to walk through these underground cities that shelter more than 20,000 people, in the 8th-7th century BC. (Be prepared to walk hunched over for more than 20 meters).

Fantastic Green Tour of Cappadocia with an Outstanding Guide, Selim! - Our Green Tour of Cappadocia was nothing short of spectacular, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Selim Ozyurek. He made our experience truly unforgettable! Selim's knowledge of the region and Turkey in general is impressive. He provided us with fascinating insights and stories with visual displays, images, videos on his huge tablet at every stop, making the history and culture come alive for us. His passion for the area was evident and contagious, enhancing our appreciation for the stunning landscapes and historical sites we visited. The tour was well-organized and covered all the must-see spots in Cappadocia, including the underground cities, beautiful valleys, and ancient rock formations. Selim ensured that we were comfortable and engaged throughout, always ready to answer questions and share interesting facts. If you're planning a trip to Cappadocia, the Green Tour is a must, and I highly recommend requesting Selim as your guide. His expertise and enthusiasm will make your visit extraordinary.

Derinkuyu undergroud city - the great workout - Derinkuyu was another place we were able to get in using our Museum Passes in Cappadocia. Though almost an hour away from Unicorn Cave Hotel, where we stayed in Goreme, well worth the trip. There are clear arrows you follow red to go down and when you've had enough blue ones to follow back up. It won't disappoint. Just make sure you're not claustrophobic, for not the best place to find out if you are..

Fantastic tour - a must do in Cappadoccia! - We booked onto this tour through our hotel the day before. It was brilliant, our guide Ömer was extremely knowledgeable, answering all of our questions and even adjusted the tour so we could stop off at a carpet makers on the way back to see how they are made. The underground city was very interesting, and I personally loved the relaxing walk through the Ihlara. Lots of stops at beautiful view points on our way too for photos. Would highly recommend!
