This was a great tour to do. We saw so much and our guide, Senat, gave us enough time to stop and take photos. I especially liked the fact that he was flexible with the schedule. He flipped it around so that we did the underground city last as there were too many people there when we were scheduled to go. Too many people going through the close tunnels altogether would have been not nice at all. My only constructive feedback to our guide would be to SLOW DOWN his talking. He talked so fast it was difficult to understand what he was saying. I did tell him and he did try...for a little while. I totally recommend doing this tour.

Set out on a full-day Green Tour of Cappadocia's Goreme landscapes, with a journey through the Underground City and a trek along the Ihlara Valley.

Drive past Göreme’s fairy chimneys and rock formations, while learning about the geological history of this region from your guide.

Descend into the Derinkuyu or Kaymaklı Underground City, ancient subterranean shelters that once protected entire communities, and explore narrow passageways and living quarters.

Trek 3 to 4 kilometers through the Ihlara Valley, Cappadocia’s deepest canyon ,and visit rock-cut churches adorned with centuries-old frescoes.

Cap off your experience with a delectable traditional Turkish lunch in Belisırma Village, set beside the river with beautiful valley views.
