Went with a group of mates, and we all had a blast. The underground city was way bigger than we expected crazy to think people lived there! The guide had some wild stories that kept us entertained. Rose Valley was stunning, especially near sunset. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is that we wished we had a bit more free time in Cavusin to explore on our own. Still, a solid tour with great sights and good food.
