Pigeon Valley
Pigeon valley is situated between Göreme and Uçhisar and is ideal for walking, as the trek is relatively easy. The name comes from the thousands of pigeon houses that have been carved into the soft tuff since ancient times. Although they can be found throughout Cappadocia, they are especially numerous in this valley.

Worth every minute!
We were late for the tour due to plane delay but the driver was nice enough to wait for us at the hotel and whisked us away as soon as we arrived to join the rest of the tour group. Tour guide (I forgot her name) was very informative and loved her way of explaining the history of the places. Highly recommended!

Terrible Service and UNprofesional staff

Response from the operator: Thank you for your comment. Please be advised that the service you purchased is a package tour and people of all ages can take part. After purchasing the service, if you still have missing information, you are sent a message via platform and according to the information taken by you, your pick up time is arranged and the customer is notified via the platform by message. As you didn't answer those messages and having contacted with us after one hour the tour had began, these issues had been experienced due to customer. This comment is just misguiding people.

Nice but rushed
The time we spent at the actual tour sites was very nice but we had no time after to browse or take many pictures. Tour guide was very nice and entertaining on the bus. Once we reached the places we visited, we went in, out and go go go. I wanted a picture with the camel, I wanted time to shop for a trinket and it just wasn't happening. We were pushed out so fast! Instead we spent far too much time in a leather jacket store that we didn't ask to go to watching a fashion show which was extremely uncomfortable as well as a jewelry shop with presentation. I was very disappointed to spend a tour I spent money on for promotions and others on our tour felt the same.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.
How much does Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Goreme usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Goreme is not rushed.
Is Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Goreme can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Goreme and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cappadocia Underground City & Pigeon Valley Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Goreme within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Goreme?
+
On Outty we rank every Goreme experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Red (North) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and tickets, Green (South) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and ticket, Cappadocia Green Tour - Classic Route (Popular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Goreme?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Goreme?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
