The guides were super friendly, fun and really passionate about everything we saw. You can tell they genuinely love sharing the history and the stories, and that made the experience even more special. Seriously, if you are booking this tour you have to see Pigeon Valley, the Underground City, Ihlara Valley and Selime Monastery. Every place was so unique and the amount of history is mind-blowing! The highlight at the end was stopping for some Turkish coffee and Turkish delight — what a sweet touch! Our driver did a great job, and the vehicle had air conditioning so we stayed comfortable the whole way. Don't forget to bring some cash for tips — these guys deserve it. All in all I definitely recommend this tour; it's a great way to see Cappadocia!

The Green Tour day trip was, in a word, fantastic. I liked the underground city and Ihlara Valley the best. The guide was really good, explained all the places brilliantly and made sure we had fun. There was plenty of time to enjoy and take pictures at each point. We were also able to taste delicious dried fruits and Turkish Delight. Above all, it was a pleasant trip.

It was well organised. The guide was professional and friendly, attentive to the group's needs, and offered us alternatives when needed. We saw really interesting places and learned a lot. I especially liked the hike in Ihlara canyon. Since the stages are far from Göreme, transportation was essential. For me it was a super tour.

Our Cappadocia day tour to Ihlara Valley and Underground City was simply incredible. Ihlara Valley was a breathtaking experience. Walking along the river, surrounded by steep canyon walls and lush greenery, was like stepping into another world. All in all, it was a day with the perfect mix of adventure, nature and history. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to experience the magic of Cappadocia.

They picked us up from the hotel early in the morning and although it was cold at first, it warmed up around midday. In the place chosen for lunch the dishes and hygiene were excellent. You can easily come with your family. If you don't know what tiredness is, I absolutely recommend it; even breaks are enough. I spoke with our guide about the next visit: I will also participate in another program. A thousand thanks.

A fantastic tour with a fantastic guide. I knew practically everything. He gave information on the way to the valleys and then repeated it on site. Derinkuyu is simply amazing! Hiking in the Ihlara Valley is also great. For safety reasons, we do not put our feet in the water. In Vale das Pombas we stopped for photographs right after the historical explanations. Thanks to the driver and team for an excellent experience! I recommend.

The weather was perfect and we really enjoyed the tour. Our guide made it excellent with his warm and enthusiastic manner. He knows all the history, could answer every question, and his English is really good, so we genuinely recommend taking the tour with him. You don't get a huge amount of time to explore and take photos at each stop. We liked the food at the restaurant — you start with a soup, choose your main from the menu, and there's a nice dessert.
