We had a great time on... - We had a great time on the Green Tour with our guide Oguz from Hereke travel. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable that we were truly entertained the whole time. The places are very beautiful but I would warn that some areas on the green tour are not stroller friendly if you have kids and not walker friendly if you have someone with need for one. There are some areas where physical fitness is handy, but of course you can always opt out of walking through certain areas if it’s too difficult for you. We had no issue and had a great time. I would love to come back and also do the red tour in the future. Our lunch was also delicious and filling at a peaceful restaurant near a river. We were occupied the whole day and the driver and guide were very accommodating for any need someone had during the trip. Thanks so much for showing us the beauty of Kapadokya! :)

Well managed tour with a convenient itinerary - The tour was well managed in terms of balance between pace, comfort and information delivered. The tour starts and finishes at convenient times and allows adequate time to explore each destination including time for lunch. The itinerary has a comfortable mix between easy access points like view points, jewellery workshops and shopping points, and tedious access points like hike through Ihlara valley and underground city. The tour guide Siri tried her best to deliver historical and cultural facts behind every destination while managing the pace and ease of access of crowded destinations. The lunch was not great but the ambience of the riverside restaurant made up for it.
