Ali our guide was very...

Ali our guide was very knowledgeable and Mehmet our driver provided some water which was much appreciated, especially after our walk. The lunch was simple but tasty in a cute setting. Better than the usual tour lunches. It was a very comprehensive tour of Cappadocia. Would recommended it, especially if you’re limited in time.

Recommend

The tour was very well organised and ran smoothly, thanks to our guide Utku. Before each stop he gave us information about the place we were about to see, then we had opportunity to explore the sites ourselves. My favourite stops were Goreme open air museum and Pasabag. We had 3 short stops, where the locals showed us their art (pottery, jewellery making etc) then we had the opportunity to buy those. I normally don’t like these type of stops on a tour, but on this one I didn’t feel pressured to buy the goods at all. Overall great experience and a great guide.

Highly Recommended

This tour was a great way to see the main sites in Cappadocia if you have limited time. It is great value. You can choose which of the attractions you want to pay to see so thay works if there is something you are not interested in. The tour bus was clean, modern and comfortable and Utku great guide. He was in contact before the trip to arrange pick-up sland it all went smoothly. The driver was also amazing, not only safe and good natured, but he even stopped off for me at a supermarket on the return to my hotel. I was staying outside the main tourist villages, and not all tours would pick-up, but this was not an issue at all. As a solo traveller, it was a relaxed and sociable day. Highly recommended!

Green Tour Cappodocia

We choose Gorgeous tours for the Green tour, after many hours of research having never been to Cappadocia before, They offered the combination of sites we wanted to see, especially Derinkuyu. They were organized, punctual and provided a high value experience. Our guide, Elef ( unsure of spelling), called Ellie for us Americans, had over 10 years experience on this tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, courteous, enthusiastic and demonstrated a passion to her work which added to this unique life experience. She patiently answered each question and the more often she was challenged, the more she seemed to enjoy her clients. Highly recommended.

Great tour and tour guide

The Red tour was amazing. Rabia was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and very friendly We stopped at every stop listed on viator. On the tour you go to love valley which is very beautiful. You can take some photos , add your love lock and do a 360 video. You stop oen air museum and other valleys and the history is amazing if you like history and just nature. I love the pottery work shop where they do a demonstration and able to purchase beautiful pieces all hand made but you dont have to buy anything but they are unique. Overall its a nice tour and shorter than the green tour. Attire: Wear comfortable shoes you walk a lot but you have option to stay back on bus

Well-Paced Tour Covering Many Highlights with a Knowledgeable Guide

We really enjoyed the tour, even though the weather wasn’t the best. Our guide, Ferman, was very friendly and answered many of our questions—he was definitely more knowledgeable than previous tour guides we’ve had. The tour covered many spots but still felt well-paced, which made it much more enjoyable, as we had enough time at each stop. Lastly, the van was newer and more comfortable than many others we’ve experienced.

Good for underground tunnels and if you are spending a few days in cappadocia

We picked the green tour because the Selina monastery and ilhara valley was hard to get to. This tour included lunch and tickets. Lunch nothing to write home about but did the trick. Our guide Girauy was knowledgeable and energetic. Ali was a good driver. This is an intimate tour with 7 people total. The underground city would have been confusing, lacking context and claustrophobic to go without a tour guide. As they have multiple side rooms/potential tunnels that are not signposted. Would say this is the highlight of the trip. Wish we spent more time here. Also went to the monastery, which was not busy at all and comparable to the popular places in Goreme. Well preserved with lots of rooms. Ilhara valley was less exciting. Very grand but we walked through only a little section of it and limited capacity to explore different churches and caves. It was very cool to see the caves/rooms from the valley floor. They used to house people and it was fun to imagine the history they have. Wished we were given a bit more context on who/what/why this existed. The pigeon valley stop was brief. Could have done without the gem stop at end but I imagine that is typical. Would recommend the tour for someone with more time in cappadocia.

An amazing nature walk

Rabia was an absolutely fantastic guide! Everything was perfectly organized, and the whole experience felt easy and enjoyable from start to finish. We had an amazing walk through nature, and she made every moment interesting with her engaging storytelling and deep knowledge. She explains things in such a clear and captivating way that you really feel connected to the place. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and genuinely special. Highly recommended – we had a great time!

Ayhan was a fabulous tour guide- he was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkey and the history and geology of the region. He went above and beyond by stopping at the pharmacy for me when I needed something, and always offering to take photos for everyone. He was very kind and helpful and fun! I would absolutely recommend this tour! Also every place we stopped was magical as advertised ✨ Best day of our trip to Turkey so far!! 🇹🇷
