Good to Know Before You Go

On a private tour, the day runs on your schedule rather than a fixed group timetable. On the Green-route side, expect pickup from your hotel somewhere between 09:00 and 10:00, roughly 8 to 10 hours on the go including drive time between sites and a lunch stop, and drop-off back at your hotel in the late afternoon, around 17:00 to 18:00. Since it's private, you set the start time and can wrap up once you've seen everything on your list. Actual timing shifts a little with the season.

Dress for a full day outdoors on uneven ground. Sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots matter most, especially for the Ihlara Valley trek and the tight passages inside the underground city. Layers help, since temperatures swing through the day and between elevations. There's no strict dress code at the natural sites, but modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is appreciated at the old cave churches and monasteries. A hat and sunglasses are worth packing for the outdoor stretches.
