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.

Admission and guide's fee: admission is set (or included in your package), but guide tip is up to you. Ask around Be generous, as this is their primary source of income.
