Derinkuyu has narrow, steep sections and low ceilings; it's not ideal for those with serious mobility limitations or severe claustrophobia.
The tour usually schedules a guided walk of about 4 km with short breaks; there is limited unscheduled time to wander further on your own.
Guides commonly speak English and Turkish; check the operator listing if you need another language.
