## Itinerary
### Red Tour with Your Own Guide: Devrent, Paşabağ, Zelve

The first of your two private days follows the Red route through northern Cappadocia. The tour starts at 09:30: your guide and driver reach your hotel between 09:30 and 10:20, depending on whether you stay in Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, Avanos or Nevşehir, and we message the exact time the day before. With only your party in the vehicle, you decide where to linger, whether that means extra time among Zelve’s cave houses, a longer look at the Paşabağ chimneys or an early lunch. Plan on roughly 8 hours and about 2.5 km of walking over uneven paths. Göreme Open-Air Museum is not on this day’s route. Today includes a pottery demonstration in Avanos and the Carpet Weaving Education Center, with no obligation to buy. Stops: Devrent Valley, Paşabağ (Monks Valley), Avanos pottery workshop, Carpet Weaving Education Center (about 30–45 min), Zelve Open-Air Museum.

### South Tour at Your Own Pace: Çavuşin, Özkonak, Ortahisar

Day two switches to the South route, again from your hotel. The tour starts at 09:30, pickup is between 09:30 and 10:20 depending on your area, and the exact time reaches you the day before. After yesterday’s fairy chimneys, today is about village life and life underground: the abandoned cliff houses of old Çavuşin, the tunnels of Özkonak, lunch, and viewpoints over Pigeon Valley and Ortahisar to finish. Your guide can slow the Çavuşin climb or keep the underground visit short for anyone uneasy in tight passages. Allow around 8 hours and 3 km on foot. Onyx and leather workshop visits are part of the day, and there is no obligation to buy. Stops: Old Çavuşin, Özkonak Underground City, Onyx workshop (about 30–45 min), Pigeon Valley viewpoint, Ortahisar rock castle viewpoint, Leather workshop (about 30–45 min).

## Included

## Good to know
- Workshop stops: a carpet weaving centre, a leather workshop, an onyx workshop and a pottery workshop. Part of the programme, no obligation to buy.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes: the valleys and rock-cut sites have uneven ground and steps, and the underground city has low, narrow passages.
- Bring a hat and sunscreen in summer and a warm layer in spring, autumn and winter: mornings in Cappadocia are cool, and the underground city stays cool all year.
- Vegetarian, vegan or other dietary needs at lunch: tell us when you book and we let the restaurant know.
- Mobility needs or travelling with small children? Tell us before you book, and we tell you honestly which parts of the day suit you.
- We send your final programme, hotel names and pickup times before departure, and you can reach us on WhatsApp during the trip.

## FAQ
### How does the private 2-day Red & South tour differ from the group version?

The route, lunches and entrance tickets are the same, but no other travellers share your vehicle. A guide and driver work for your party alone on each day, so stop times, photo breaks and lunch follow your pace within the day’s schedule.

### What time will the guide collect us on each day of the private Red & South tour?

Both days start at 09:30, and pickup falls between 09:30 and 10:20 depending on your hotel’s area (Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, Avanos or Nevşehir). We message the exact time the day before each tour day.

### Could we do the South day first, or leave a free day between the two tours?

The standard order is Red on day 1 and South on day 2. If you would like to swap them or rest in between, tell us when you book and we will check that your guide and vehicle are free on those dates.

### Is the private 2-day Red & South tour a good fit for children?

Yes. With your own vehicle the guide can drop you close to each entrance and build in breaks. Expect about 2.5 km of walking on day 1 and 3 km on day 2; a baby carrier is easier than a stroller at Zelve, Çavuşin and Özkonak. Please share the children’s ages when booking.

### What should we bring for two days of walking in Cappadocia?

Comfortable shoes with grip for the dusty paths at Zelve and Çavuşin, a hat and sunscreen in summer, a warm layer for the cool rooms at Özkonak, and some cash for drinks or souvenirs.

### What is not included in the private Red & South tour?

Hotels, flights, dinners, drinks with lunch, tips and anything you buy at the workshops. Göreme Open-Air Museum is not on either route, and hot-air balloon flights are not part of this tour.

### How do I book and pay for the Private 2-Day Cappadocia Red & South Tour?

Reserve now, pay in cash on the day (euros or US dollars) — no deposit and no card needed. Tell us your hotel and a WhatsApp number; pickup is between 09:30 and 10:20, depending on your hotel's area, and we send the exact time the day before your tour.

### What is the cancellation policy for the Private 2-Day Cappadocia Red & South Tour?

Free cancellation up to 72 hours. 72 hours or more: Full refund. 24–72 hours: 50% of the tour price is refunded. Under 24 hours or no-show: No refund. Full terms: cancellation policy.
