10/10 - Mainly, Elif was a great guide, we had time to meet, walk around and she waited for us patiently. The tour was very interesting and the explanations and games he played made the information he had to tell us fun and easy to understand. Lunch was good and in general I also found the tour to be quite organized and without lines. They gave us water all the time and comfortable transportation. I was happy with the service and would recommend it.

Well-organised tour + great guide! - The tour was well-organised & our guide Bayram was thoughtful and had a great sense of humour. Driver + Bayram took great care of all of us from all walks of life the whole day. Sufficient time at each sight and lunch was simple but delicious. This tour was recommended by our hotel and we would recommend it to others too.

Lovely day - I did the green tour on 31/04/24 with Bayram as my group’s guide. The tour went very smoothly; Bayram was very engaging and explained the history of the region and the specific sites we visited very well. The underground city and Selime monastery were highlights and the hike in Ihlara valley was great (gentle pace and quite shaded). There was a lot of driving but it flew by while looking at the scenery.

Great fun and informative day-trip to Cappadocia South! - This was a fun day-tour to the Goreme panoramic viewpoint, the Selime Cathedral, Derinkuyu underground city, and Ihlara Valley. Elif, our guide, was so wonderful - fun, friendly and accommodating with our questions about Cappadocia and Turkey overall. We did go to a stone shop but it was a short stop over, and she made it clear that we don't have to buy anything and that there's a beautiful vantage point of Uchisar castle just across the shop where we can wait instead. I highly recommend this tour!

Green Tour Cappadocia - We did the Green Tour on our first day in Cappadocia. Our balloon ride was cancelled so we had the entire day available. This tour takes you to the south of Goreme. Aside from the various panoramic views, they also take you to the Underground City - which was the highlight of this tour. This dates back two thousand years and when you are there, it feels surreal. On this tour, we had a wonderful tour guide, Elif. She is extremely knowledgeable and her commentary enabled us to appreciate the Underground city as well as the other sites even more. Even during the drive between the stops, she kept the group engaged with anecdotes, trivia about Cappadocia and Turkey in general and even some quizzes. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. If you have a choice between Red & Green Tour and limited time, pick Green.
