If you're deciding between the Green Tour and the Red Tour in Cappadocia, I'd personally recommend the Green Tour. It's a longer day, but it's absolutely worth it. The highlight for me was the Underground City. It was fascinating to see how entire communities once lived and hid beneath the ground. Walking through the narrow tunnels and exploring the hundreds of interconnected cave rooms really brings history to life. I also enjoyed exploring Selime Monastery. It's an impressive rock-cut monastery with plenty of corners to wander through, and the views from the top are well worth the climb. Another unexpected highlight was the 3.5 km hike through Ihlara Valley. After several days of sightseeing, it was refreshing to stretch our legs while walking alongside the river through the beautiful canyon. It added a completely different side of Cappadocia to the experience. Overall, the Green Tour offers a great mix of history, nature, and adventure. Ali, our guide was very informative and attentive. It's a full day, but never felt rushed, and I'd definitely say it's worth setting aside a day for.
Oguz and Mahmut created an absolutely splendid day for our family. Oguz is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and happy to work with you to get the best visit possible. The teen who had done a hot air balloon ride the previous day said this tour was just as good.
Superb day with our guide Ufuk. One of the best guides of all the activities we have been able to do in the last 15 years. Thank you Ufuk for your kindness and your patience with all our questions. We wish you great success in your study projects.
Had an amazing experience! A huge thank you to Kiray and Mahmoud for making the tour so enjoyable. They were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, sharing so much about the history and culture of Cappadocia in an engaging way. The tour was comfortable, well-organised, and ran smoothly from start to finish. You can really tell they care about giving everyone a great experience. Highly recommend Green Valley Cappadocia to anyone visiting!
The tour was amazing. It was completely different from our red tour. Our guide was awesome, very knowledgeable, and did a great job. We didn't need to ask any questions really. Super great at explaining history to us. Thank you, well done I did , however, have a situation where I was not going to get picked up. It was not the guide's fault. It was the organiser who did not look at my booking I'd almost suggest the company change their policy. If they're not going to look at the bookings in the last two or three hours then they shouldn't make bookings available. It's happened to me twice using Viator
It was really fun, Ali G the tour guide was so funny.
The tour is an absolute must-do to experience the most natural part of Cappadocia. Our guide was Ali: his friendliness and his knowledge made us have a beautiful day, full of nature, history, and breathtaking landscapes!
Wonderful experience with Ali. Keep it up !

Ali G. is an excellent guide capable of making every detail of the tour interesting. The tour is structured in an excellent way.
