Our tour guide Metmet was such a passionate guide with plenty of experience. He treat the group with the best interest and kept the explanations interesting and enjoyable. We covered all the attractions in the list and it was well worth the trip. Was a whole day tour.

We all know that the success of the tour relies very much on the guide and the driver. We were lucky as our guide and driver worked together to make our tour a wonderful experience. We have not only been to the iconic landmarks listed in the itinerary and have feasted spectacular views but have been educated by our guide who was both knowledgeable and professional.

Great tour and I can't fault the guide (Selim) who was very knowledgeable and had good information and was able to answer all questions. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that the drinks at the restaurante were exorbitantly priced and the stop at the shop at the end which wasn't needed.
Rachel_R, Sep 2025
Our guide was very nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour was a good mix of driving and stops and you get to see a lot!
MAYUKO_H, Aug 2025
The guide - Selm made sure everyone are included and enjoying the sightseeing. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the history and geography of the region. Impressive and I learnt a lot. He also has very good sense of humor - actually hilarious :) The driver - Rasid was excellent. He drove smoothly so that we were comfortable throughout our long drive. I choose this tour out of many similar because it includes the amazing Derinkuyu underground city (didn’t really wanted to go another smaller underground city) and other highlights of south part. The Ihlara valley walk through the canyon was nice and relaxing too. Highly recommend it!!

They do not provide any water to hydrate so if you talking this tour in summer, make sure you have enough water and cap or hat
Darren_R, Jul 2025
The tour was well organized, and we enjoyed it very much, it is basically a bunch of different stops. There isn’t a lot of hiking but a little bit and we most of all enjoyed the ancient underground Hittite City. Guide was nice and educational.
Nick_B, Jun 2025
Great experience and the different historical sites were once in a lifetime experience. Underground City is a trip through ancient history and the Selim's Cathedral was impressive. Keep in mind, the caves at the Cathedral are not the site of filming for Episode IV (New Hope) in Star Wars! The Ilhara Valley hike was nice along the river.
Mirielys_C, Jun 2025
It says that is stroller accessible but is not. The tourist guide was very knowledgeable and nice no complaints about him. But I has to spend most of the time divided of my family because we couldnt use a stroller so my husband and I had to take turns
Diana_S, Jun 2025
We had a full day to learn on Cappadocia sorroundings. We were picked up at the hotel in Göreme joining a small group of nine in total. Our guide Selim, spokes English very well, gave us full explanations on the places visted, impressive underground city, which we were able to explore; Ihlara valley with an approximate 4km walk bordering the river inside the canyon, had lunch, ancient church and monastery, piggeons valley and back to the hotel.
VIVEKANANDA_V, May 2025
Tour was good. However, the English tour guide was inaudible. Unable to hear lots of things he is talking . Other than than everything is good
Ashrin_A, May 2025
Selim was very knowledgeable, the overall experience was very good. I'd only recommend him stick to talking about things related to the tour and not general small talk transforming into a something irrelevant for the experience like religious talks
Alexandra_A, May 2025
Wonderful tour with a very entertaining and kind guide, Selim. Can't recommend it enough. We visited all the sites described, it didn't feel rushed at all, and the van was very comfortable. The lunch was good and I honestly also enjoyed the stops at the two stores.
Krishnendu_R, Apr 2025
The chosen tourist spots were really nice, but the complete experience was rushed. Not enough time was provided at every spot. Murve was very knowledgeable about history and she very generous towards us, but it felt like to us a tick-box exercise.
SAMIR_M, Apr 2025
Salim and Mustafa of Stoneland Travel were great. They took their time to explain history. They did a great job.
lakshmanritvik_m, Nov 2024
Tour was great and lunch was delicious.
Couple of stops at jewelry and souvenir stores was a rip-off and could be avoided.
Jennifer_L, Nov 2024
Very recommended tour.we enjoyed our stay in Gerome and we had a fantastic green tour. The tour guide is good.
Alan_C, Nov 2024
Poor organization and guide. Guide left us to our own devices, basically dropping us off and waiting back at the van. Whatever info was shared much of it was incorrect. People were being asked to pay for their trip in the middle of the tour even though they had already paid.
Aroop_S, Nov 2024
Amazing tour guide who provided fun and personalized service. It was truly a pleasure to have him with us.
Aroop_S, Nov 2024
Very fun relaxed tour with friendly guide. A bit more details on the underground city would have been helpful. The hike was easy and the lunch generous. Please carry your drink if you want to save money.
Sourabh_C, Oct 2024
The Green Tour was nice in parts. For example the underground city was interesting and so was the monastries visit. The trek was ok ok and not so scenic as expected. The lunch was decent but not great. We had to pay for our drinks including water which everyone in our group had to take after a trek downhill. The river was kind of small and should be called a rivulet.
It ended with a trip to a shop where tourists could make 'purchases'.
Our driver Pepe and Guide Salim were sweet. Tour was a good 6-8 hours.
Lesley_H, Oct 2024
A wonderful tour visiting the Ihlata valley, monastries and Derinkuyu Underground city. Fascinating geology and history. Our guide Selim was fantastic!
Iram_S, Oct 2024
We really enjoyed our trip and our guide Salil was really good and she explained everything in detail. Worth for money we paid for our trip
Cilin_P, Sep 2024
It’s an okay tour. Too many forced sales pitch stops which makes an already super long day even longer. I rather avoid these and get back sooner. If it wasn’t for that, it would be a lot nicer. You eat lunch super late which makes the forced Sales pitch stops even more unbearable.
Danita_M, Sep 2024
I did this tour after the red tour. If you are going to do just one of the tours I would recommend the red tour. While this was interesting you spend a lot more time driving on this one. The sites were very interesting and I did enjoy it.
Kerry_F, Sep 2024
Salim and Emer were excellent. Emer was a very good driver and Selim was entertaining and very informative with history.
Matthew_S, Sep 2024
We highly recommend this tour if your in Cappadoccia. We don’t typically do local tours but to avoid driving and enjoy the knowledge shared by our guide, it was an awesome adventure and we knocked off many of our to-do list items. Great food, and great cultural education. The stops were pretty short but enough to explore and take pictures.
Maryam_N, Sep 2024
Selime our guide was wonderful, first and foremost. The tour was packed full of beautiful views and experiences, and the Underground City and Ihara Valley mini hike was our favorite! We had lunch by a river and the seating was beyond beautiful. Highly recommended.
Christine_L, Aug 2024
The guide was wonderful and very informative. The description of the tour not what happened in real life. It was 9 hours instead of 7, the bus had little to no air conditioning it was very hot!! Long drives to each destination. Buyer beware!! Again the guide was lovely and very nice
Josephine_C, Aug 2024
Very interesting rock formations to see and plenty of time to stop at each location. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Cappadocia and its history and we had a fantastic day! Thank you.
