You need some stamina to squeeze (on your knees) through some of the smaller tunnels in the underground city, but it was fun :D I also enjoyed a lot exploring the monastery in the mountain, it also had a lot of nice spots for making photos. The lunch was also pretty good. We had just 4 people in the group, so everything was quick and without delays, the guide did a good job explaining some history of Cappadocia and the underground city, everyone left tips appreciating the quality of the experience over wanting to have as much people as possible in the group.
Nice tour- I would’ve liked more time to explore the underground city and ilhara valley but I understand that’s the nature of a group tour
Our guide Mithut was just so knowledgeable and easy to understand . There were only 6 in our group. The tunnels in the underground city were too difficult for us to enter . Also you need to be very fit to climb up some of the steep hills
We had a wonderful time on our tour with Ali G. Ali was humorous and informative and would recommend going with him because he was knowledgeable and made our group well cared for. The highlight was Kaymakli Underground City because we were able to descend multiple stories in an underground city. It is amazing that people were able to excavate and create an amazing underground civilization with limited technology.
Tour and tour guide were great. Lunch could be better.
This tour is a must do in Capadocia. In addition to the beautiful sites, Ali G. Was an amazing guide. He shared great information for us to understand what we were visiting and was light at the same time. Gave us time to explore the sites, answered our groups many questions, made us feel safe in the underground tour and showed great experience and knowledge. Super reccommend! Thank you Ali G.!
The sites in Cappadocia are beyond surreal. A tour like this needs context and tour guide Ali G. did a great job of showing and explaining things that I would never have known or even noticed. I also shared the tour with friendly people from Brazil, Korea, Spain, and the U.S. All together, it was a great experience.
The tour has been very good and interesting. The guide (Ali G) is very friendly and well-prepared. Highly recommended
Our tour guide was Ali G. He was excellent and made the trip meaningful, enjoyable and relatable. The tour itself was great value for money and took us to many different sites. We also did a hike. I would highly recommend this tour and the company, especially if Ali G is the guide.
Вот отзыв на английском, который звучит естественно и искренне для Tripadvisor: We had a fantastic experience on the Green Tour! Everything was well organized from beginning to end. Hotel pickup was on time, the itinerary was well planned, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions throughout the day. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and visiting places like the underground city, Selime Monastery, and the Ihlara Valley made this tour one of the highlights of our trip to Cappadocia. Lunch was ok, transportation was comfortable, and the whole day ran smoothly. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cappadocia. Thank you for a wonderful day!
