Green Tour with Bayram - The green tour is a full day excursion, visited the underground city, rivers, churches and cave dwellings thousands of years old. What made the tour even more special was Bayram the tour guide, spoke English very well and he was a genuine aficionado regarding the history and geography of all the place we went. He even picked fresh asparagus for me all along the 3k river walk we did. Highly recommended :)

Exploring Derinkyu underground and Selime monastery - Great time exploring the Selime monastery where we had free time to walk up and around the caves and structures built at the school. I enjoyed the calm scenery at Ihlara valley after busing in busy Istanbul for a few days. I wish our guide had pointed out more about the volcanic vents we saw even though he explained about the 3 volcanic mountains which crested the area.
The Derinkuyu underground city was amazing and we got to go down to the eighth level but it was rushed since so many people trying to see it. I wished the guides could have picked all of us up sooner to get there before the crowds made it hard to get in the tunnels. There was two tunnels that they need a traffic light almost because it is so narrow only people go could go in in one line and the others exiting had to wait to exit through the same tunnels.
The tour didn’t begin till after 10 am when everyone got picked up.
I can say the company made it easier to get to our next hotel and they held our luggage in van till end of tour and dropped us off since our hotel was near the exit point of the tour.
