Traveler reviews
Emma Manchester - Amazing !! Best tour I have ever been on !!
Absolutely loved this trip - I would definitely recommend . I was a solo traveller and was made to feel really welcome on the boat by the tour guide and Jo. The photographer Jo was very friendly and took some amazing pictures. Jesus the tour guide was excellent - he spoke excellent English and was obviously very educated about the history of the Tombs and Turkey. Jesus was very professional and totally engaged everyone on board :)
Fun day tour
Lovely tour with many fun experiences. We particularly enjoyed the boat ride, the wall tombs and the turtle beach. The guides were very accommodating and friendly and the food provided had many options. There were drinks available for purchase on the boat too and there was good communication throughout. The price was good for the length of the tour and the amount of activities. The atmosphere was great and they split the crowd into English/Turkish speakers and Russian speakers. I would recommend this for any age group, nothing was too strenuous and they were able to make accommodations for young children and older adults.
Not worth what they charge
Tour was okay Needed better lunch and better organisation They had to give us to taxi to take us back Which then asked for money from us since it was traffic he recons And I have payed over 100$ for tour each person I was expecting better service over all
Turtles!!
A great day out and we saw turtles! It’s a long day with an hour bus transfer to the boat but good that they had considered a toilet stop. Food at the restaurant was a bit mixed with pasta dish cold but this was turned around quickly to a large number of people. It’s a shame there were so many boats on the river which did take away the peacefulness of the trip a little. The mud bath was an experience but personal not one I enjoyed due to the smell of the sulphur and felt dirty all day despite showering. Highlight was definitely the turltles which we fed crab to - however again a bit over crowded. In summary a great trip and provided English speaking translation, well planned stops and glad we managed to find a trip to pick up near our hotel. Thanks very much we had a great day!!
