It was an amazing experience. Be aware that the ceilings are sometimes very low, the passages are often narrow and going up and down is physically challenging. We hesitated between this tour and …Full review by V3492WHchristianl

Derinkuyu was recommended to us by the car rental shop assistant as the best one in Cappadocia. And we were not disappointed at all. Super interesting experience in the tunnels. Despite many visitors…Full review by amk2f

An underground city tour is a must-do in Cappadocia; I went to a few, and this one was my favorite. None of the underground cities are well suited to people who have a fear of small, dark spaces, so …Full review by Nadina P
My husband is a big guy about 5ft 10 ft and 260lbs. Im concerned that if the passages are so narrow that he wont even be able to fit. What has everyone's experience been? Also, if we go independently without a guide, are there signs or an audio tour we can take to get the most out of this?

I have seen people as tall as 6ft in the tunnel. As long as you are not morbidly obese, have spine/back problem, the elderly, anyone with difficulty walking stairs or anyone with respiratory issue/asthma, this trip shouldn't be an issue. To be very honest, you should take hire a tour guide, to explain the routes and the purpose of the various rooms/ cave. Otherwise, you may take any green tour (Euro 35) that takes you from Goreme to Derinkuyu Yeralti Sehri and other locations with lunch included which are hard to access by yourself.
Been reading that one needs to be physically fit to attempt Derinkuyu. Am heading to Cappadocia in October and am wondering whether to do or skip this site . I am not able to undertake 200 steps at a go. I can do it if I go slowly and rest every 20 steps or so?

In fact the problem deals with the size of the body. In some cases the path is so narrow that it was extremely difficult for me to fit, being 1,93 m tall and weighing 120 kg. Of course there are many steps to climb downstairs and then upstairs. However, even for the cases where the steps end, the floor is not flat. Of course there are many places where you can have rest and let the other groups passing by. In general I strongly recommend skipping this particular site. In fact there are so many places worth seeing in Kapadokya. Of course, if your group visits the site, you can have tasty gozleme in the surrounding places as well as a Christian church to visit near by. Not to mention being claustrophobic nor the humidity.
