Cappadocia Private Tour 4 Days: Valleys, ATV, Horse Riding, Wine

Cappadocia private tour for 4 days: the key facts

This private program spreads Cappadocia over four guided days: the Red Tour sites and a pottery workshop in Avanos on Day 1, an optional sunrise balloon and the Green Tour on Day 2, an ATV ride and wine tasting on Day 3, and a horseback ride, an onyx workshop and a Turkish Night on Day 4. You have a licensed guide and a private vehicle with driver throughout, and the ATV safari, the horse ride and the Turkish Night show are part of the price.

It suits couples, families and small groups who want more than the two standard day tours, with some activity and some culture each day, and who like having their own guide. The price is from $1,100 per person.

Is a hotel included?

The page does not say so. The inclusions list only the guide, the private vehicle, the ATV safari, the horse ride and the Turkish Night, and no hotel is named, even though the package is listed as 4 days / 3 nights. Ask us whether accommodation is part of your quote, and if not, which area to book in. Our guides to where to stay in Cappadocia and Cappadocia cave hotels can help you choose. Make sure we confirm this point in writing before you pay.

What does each day look like?

Day 1 runs from about 09:00 to 16:00: the Göreme Open-Air Museum, Uchisar Castle, Red Valley, Devrent Valley and Pasabag, with a pottery session in Avanos in the afternoon. Day 2 starts with the optional balloon, then a private Green Tour to Derinkuyu Underground City, Ihlara Valley, Selime Monastery and Pigeon Valley. Day 3 is a two-hour private ATV ride through Sword, Love and Rose valleys and wine tasting at Turasan Winery in Ürgüp. Day 4 has a horse ride of 1.5 to 2 hours, an onyx workshop and a Turkish Night in a cave venue.

Is the hot air balloon part of the price?

No. It is listed under exclusions, with a balloon flight over Göreme offered as an extra for $310. If you add it, you fly at sunrise on Day 2 and are driven back to the hotel before the Green Tour. Flights only take place when the civil aviation authority allows them that morning, and wind often cancels them, especially from December to March. Watching the balloons from the ground is another extra, at $50. Our news piece on the Cappadocia hot air balloon price in 2026 explains the price range.

What costs should we budget for?

Meals and drinks, entry tickets and workshops are excluded. That means you pay for the entrance at Göreme, Derinkuyu, Selime and any other ticketed site, plus lunches each day. The page also lists "workshops" as excluded while putting the Avanos pottery session and the onyx workshop in the program, and it says the Turkish Night comes with a traditional dinner while meals are excluded. The wine tasting at Turasan is not mentioned either way. Ask us to confirm in writing which of these are covered, so you are not surprised on the day.

How active are the four days?

Each day has a different level. Day 1 involves short walks and some steps at the open-air museum and Uchisar. Day 2 includes stairs and narrow, low passages underground at Derinkuyu and a walk along the Ihlara gorge. Day 3's ATV ride is bumpy and dusty, so bring sunglasses and a scarf. Day 4's horse ride is 1.5 to 2 hours; tell us beforehand if anyone has not ridden before. Wear shoes with a good grip and bring layers, as mornings can be cool.

Can we change the program?

Yes. The page invites you to contact us if you would like to change the program, and since the tour is private, you can ask to swap days or replace an activity. The extras listed are the Göreme balloon for $310, a Whirling Dervishes show for $75 and sunrise balloon watching for $50. If you want a shorter or cheaper version, compare the 4-day Cappadocia tour package, from $750 per person, or the Cappadocia Green Tour as a single day.

Who is the wine tasting for?

The Day 3 afternoon is a tasting at Turasan Winery in Ürgüp, which the page describes as one of the oldest wine producers in Cappadocia. If you do not drink alcohol, or are travelling with children, tell us and we can suggest another stop that afternoon. More ideas are on our wine tours page.
