We were picked up in a luxury vehicle and were the only ones on the tour. We were at the underground city early, before 10:00 which was great as we were able to do the tour before the arrival of other tourists. Ourguide was great, very informative and we had the chance to chat about life in Turkey. His Rmglish was excellent.(sorry I have forgotten his name) Best to best the crowds otherwise it could feel quite claustrophobic… climbing stairs on our way back up made us very out of breath with masks on. Definitely worth doing.Turkey had so much history..
