22 reviewed

Whole cities dug straight down into the tufa, eight storeys of it at Derinkuyu, ventilation shafts and rolling stone doors and all. Below are the best tours into them: which visit deep Derinkuyu and which the gentler Kaymakli, how much stooping and walking each asks, and which pair the descent with a walk down the Ihlara Valley.

“The tour itself is excellent and you cost all the main sites in Cappadocia . However our guide Sefa was rushed and did not accompany us around the sites as other guides did. Just gave us the main things to see on WhatsApp and left us to walk around ourselves. Also tried to as in a visit to a carpet shop- not on the itinerary and not wanted.”

“First things first, my husband and I absolutely LOVED Salim! He was the best tour guide—super friendly, funny, and so passionate about everything we saw. You could tell he really loved sharing the history and stories, and it made the experience even more special. Seriously, if you’re booking this tour, ask for Salim—he’s awesome! We got to explore Pigeon Valley, the Underground City, Ihlara Valley, and Selime Monastery. Each place was so unique, and the amount of history was mind-blowing! Now, let’s talk lunch... it wasn’t great, but hey, something’s better than nothing, right? The highlight at the end was stopping for some Turkish coffee and Turkish delights—such a cute…”

“We joined a day tour with Mehmed as our guide, and it was honestly such a wonderful experience. He’s incredibly friendly and easy to connect with, and you can really feel his passion in the way he explains everything. He shared each place with so much detail, depth, and enthusiasm that it made the whole tour come alive. I also really appreciated how open he was about his own life and experiences — it made the day feel more personal and meaningful, and it was so easy to feel comfortable around him. Highly recommend joining a tour with Mehmed if you get the chance!”

“They took us to different places - pigeon valley, ilhara valley etc. The tour guide was super friendly and explained the different sites clearly. However please be warned that the onyx factory is merely just a staff member telling you about the jewelry and then you visit a store filled with different jewelry for you to buy. We also were taken to a leather shop and a spice market (to buy stuff) which was not on the itinerary. We did not end up going to the Monastery. Also the entrance fees are excluded (this is stated on the details) but be warned that it is quite expensive. It is 15…”

Would have been 5 stars but deducted one as they forgot to pick us up, it was only because we contacted them 20 minutes later asking what had happened. They did resolve this quickly and sent a van to collect us and join the tour.”
