## Itinerary
### Red Tour at Your Pace: Paşabağ, Zelve and Avanos

A private guide and air-conditioned vehicle collect you from your hotel between 09:30 and 10:20, depending on the area (Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, Avanos or Nevşehir); we confirm the exact time a day ahead. Nobody else joins, so photo stops and lunch fit around you, and your guide can give more time to Zelve's cave houses if you enjoy exploring. The route is the classic Red circuit of northern Cappadocia over roughly 8 hours, with about 2.5 km of walking in total. Göreme Open-Air Museum is not on this route. Pottery and carpet workshop visits are part of the day; buying is entirely optional. Stops: Devrent Valley, Paşabağ (Monks Valley), Avanos pottery workshop, Carpet Weaving Education Center (about 30–45 min), Zelve Open-Air Museum.

## FAQ
### When will my private Red Tour guide pick me up?

Your guide and driver arrive between 09:30 and 10:20, depending on the area of your hotel (Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, Avanos or Nevşehir). We confirm the exact pickup time the day before the tour.

### Who else will be in the vehicle on the private Red Tour?

Only your own party. The guide and vehicle are yours for the day, so you can ask for extra photo stops, more time at Zelve or a shorter lunch within the day's schedule.

### Is Göreme Open-Air Museum part of the private Red route?

It is not. This private tour visits Devrent Valley, Paşabağ, Avanos and Zelve; the frescoed churches of Göreme Open-Air Museum belong to a different route.

### Are there workshop stops on the private Red Tour?

Yes, two: an Avanos pottery workshop and the Carpet Weaving Education Center, about 30–45 minutes each. Both are demonstrations of local crafts with no obligation to buy, and your guide may keep them short when time is tight.

### Is the private Red Tour suitable for children and grandparents?

Generally yes. Walking adds up to about 2.5 km on uneven ground, but with your own vehicle the guide can drop you close to each entrance and slow the pace. Strollers are awkward at Zelve; a baby carrier works better.

### Can I add a balloon flight to my private Red Tour?

No. Hot-air balloon flights are not part of this tour, and TurkeyVia does not sell or arrange them.

### How do I book and pay for the Private Cappadocia Red 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 Cappadocia Red 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.
