Great value for money

Very good value for money loved the boat and the stop off with the stream and swing the swing was brilliant I’m so glad I tried it the food was lovely and where you sat by the stream was so nice. I don’t like markets but if that’s your thing you will love it overall very good value. Sonny was a great host and loved all the information and stories.

Yavurlakcay tour is very nice

It is a long day with several stops. Went to market, did a boattrip and walked through nice streets. It was a nice tour. Ate among the little River and recommand the meatballs. Tourguy Sonny knows a lot and tells a lot of stories during the whole trip.
