“The tour is quite long and in the end after lunch we got a bit sleepy and tired. However the places we visited were very interesting and unique. Our guide (I think he was named Bayran) gave a fun and playful tone from the first minute to the last. He also had deep knowledge of the area and made insightful comments and observations. He used the transportation time to share information about the upcoming destination so we didn't lose extra time when we arrived. All in all a decent tour worth 4 stars with an excellent star guide that totals up to a 5 star experience.”

The tour staff helped us locate the wallet, drove back to the location and got into a heated argument with one of the vendors who had the said wallet. Both Rabia and the driver argued with the man until they got the wallet back. They really came through for him…”

“A huge thank you to our guide (Elif) for making the Cappadocia Green Tour such an amazing experience. Elif proved to be great company and kept us both entertained and informed throughout the tour. The underground city at Derinkuyu has been on our bucket list for years and it didn't disappoint. Those who are more than 5'9" tall would be wise to complete a Pilates course before visiting as some of the tunnels are very low ! The Selime Monastery was equally amazing. From there, on to lunch followed by a visit to the Ihlara Valley country park - simply stunning. Throw in a few stops at panoramic viewpoints along…”
