A wonderful excursion
I had a wonderful time with Mehmet and our small tour group! Mehmet was extremely knowledgeable about the locations visited as well as about Turkish history and culture! I really enjoyed our chats throughout the day. All locations visited were special and fascinating. I loved the underground cities, but the monastery and Ilhara Valley took my breath away! I also felt that we had a decent amount of time to wander through each location without being rushed. The meal provided with the tour was quite delicious and I was pleased that there was a vegetarian option for me as well! Although I was a bit skeptical about the two shopping stops, they both turned out to be fairly priced and good quality. I bought plenty of lokum at the second stop at a very reasonable price and I still think about one variety that was unlike any lokum I have ever had!

Discovery made possible
Mehmet Kirindi was our guide. He waited for me when i needed a slower pace and made sure i didn't miss anything. He gave me a hand when needed. I enjoyed everything along with the younger people in the group. We all had a pleasant time together.

Green Tour, Goreme, Cappadocia
My wife and I did the all day Green Tour, which included panoramic views of Goreme, a visit to an onyx workshop, highlights of going 54m underground at Derinkuyu and visiting Selime Monastery, a nice lunch, an afternoon walk through the gorge in the picturesque Ihlara Valley, an ice cream stop and finally a stop at a posh 'market' where we sampled and bought sultanas and oils etc. The day was made by our guide Mehmet, who was extremely knowledgeable about the ancient and modern history of the areas we visited. He was also friendly, funny, remembered all our names (about 13 of us) and where we came from. The day started for us at 9.30am and finished at 6.30pm, and Mehmet worked hard all day giving us fascinating insights to what we were looking at. If you do a tour in Goreme use Gate of Cappadocia Travel, do the Green Tour and ask for Mehmet. He was brilliant!

Great Day, Great Food, Great People
A friend and I booked the green tour through our hostel (€70pp) and we were thoroughly impressed. Mehmet was a fantastic guide, being both very knowledgable and a great laugh. The mix of attractions was very balanced and we enjoyed seeing the main sights as well as the smaller stops we made along the way. A very nice lunch at a local restaurant was also included! The entire day out ran from 10:00-18:00 and our group size was about 8 people. This particular tour included a short hike of about an hour through a canyon so is best for those who are of able body.

Fun Way to Explore Cappadocia!
The Green Tour in Cappadocia was an amazing experience! The hike was beautiful with incredible scenery the entire way. Our tour guide Mehmet was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day really fun. Everything was very well organized and stress-free. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the natural beauty of Cappadocia! Kind Regards, Teresa and Natalie from Canada!

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.
How much does Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 329 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City?
+
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 Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City?
+
Around 115 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City 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.
