We were very satisfied. When we had a minor issue with ticket validation in Derinkuyu, I received immediate and excellent assistance until the problem was resolved. The hot-air balloon ride was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life.

Overall, the Green Tour in Cappadocia was a wonderful experience. We visited some spectacular places, and the underground city was truly fascinating and evocative—a must-see. The day was well-organized and full of excitement. The only thing worth noting: tickets for some attractions, including the underground city, had to be paid for separately, and it would have been better to know this clearly at the time of booking. Overall, however, it was a positive experience and highly recommended!

Our guide Ismail was amazing, he explained everything perfectly. We didn't visit all the places included in the trip since we didn't have enough time so maybe the description of the day trip should be modified to be more conform.
