Fun day on Capadocia green valley - Amazing day! Beautiful places, delicious lunch (lentil soup, salad, trout- but also other options like beef, chicken or vegetables) with our guide Ali who excells on giving local historical information, besides being super fun and making the tour even better. Sergio, our driver, was very helpful too.

Book this tour! - This was a great experience! I also booked the Red Tour with them. The Green tour was by far my favorite just because the nature of the tour was much more immersive. The locations were more interesting in my opinion. If you could only choose one hike to do, do the Green tour. The tour guide was very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I didn't feel rushed throughout each stop. The timing felt right for all locations. I really loved the hike on this tour in particular. The underground city is a must visit. They brought us to a jewelry shop and had an introduction to Turkish specific jewelry. I appreciate that this company brings us to a trade shop. We were there for maybe 30 minutes so if you're not interested in it, it's not too long. The food was good too! We stopped at a cafeteria type of restaurant for people in tour groups. I was expecting some sandwiches but we were given a decent lunch. We even had time to relax at the end of the hike and enjoy the views and grab a drink.

Friendly guide, good food and relaxed atmosphere - We booked the 'Green Tour' with our hotel on our first day in Kapadokya and got to see a wide range of activities. Our guide was always friendly and humourous. All admission prices and lunch were included, which made it a relaxed tour. Would definitely recommend!

Book Oguz for your guide - Oguz was a fabulous guide. My son and I did the Green Tour small group. He is enthusiastic, warm, funny, and explains what we’re seeing in interesting and approachable ways. The tour was in English and he speaks it very well. Lunch was very good. The whole tour was very professional and flowed well. My only regret was that we waited until our last day to book this tour. I think if we had done it at the beginning of our trip we would have had valuable knowledge to understand other sites in Cappadocia as well.
