Bucket list moment! Beautiful experience to remember for a life time. Well organised and great fun, really amazing views and experience. The company was organised and everyone was polite and knew their role.

If you prefer to explore the valleys without the crowds and learn lots about the area this tour is for you. Mustafa was an amazing and very knowledgable guide. He took me on an extra loop to show me more caves and explained the history and significance of the region extremely well. I am so glad I booked this sunset hiking tour! Highly recommendable!

f you have less experience in hiking on your own but want to try one in Goreme's wonderful valleys, this is the best option for you. The whole hiking is easy while the view is amazing, especially the sunset over there. Samil the guide is nice and friendly. He let you take your own pace and nothing was in a rush. He always makes sure everyone in the group is all right. The tour starts around 16:30 so that we can avoid the heat during the day. I highly recommend this tour.

The guide was a local guy from Goreme (I don’t remember his name.. APOLOGIES), he was very friendly and we did a great walking together with him talking of the history of the places and of any other curiosity of the experience. He speaks very good English (and it’s not so common, trust me). So very suggested this experience at the sunset. Only one advise do not wear white or clear shoes you will walk in some mug and horses’ escrements.

We booked a private guided hiking tour through the Red and Rose Valley with Cappadocia Adventures on September 18th. It was great tour because we could go at our own pace, select the start and end time, and it took the stress away from navigating the trail which was sign posted only in local language. I would highly recommend this tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip! Please also note you get see viewpoints that differ to the ATV sunset tour, so great to cover both tours for the full experience.
