Had a nice experience
My experience was really great I had good experience and the tourist guider ~NURI TURAN was really nice and helpful during all the trip would love to go with them again
Wonderful tour! Everything was smooth and enjoyable. Beautiful places, great activities, helpful guide Mohammed, and a f
The tour was absolutely wonderful. Everything was easy, smooth, and not tiring at all. We enjoyed many activities throughout the day, and all the places we visited were beautiful. Mr. Mohammed was very helpful and explained everything clearly and professionally. He was always willing to assist and often offered help even before being asked. The bus driver was also very kind, friendly, and always smiling, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for such a memorable and well-organized trip.
Tour should be titled adventure park day tour.
I chose the wrong tour. I wanted to escape busy Istanbul and see some nature. This 12.5 hour day trip would be perfect for families with kids who want action based fun (think theme parks). I had hoped we would see more natural beautiful scenery also but we only spent an hour including lunch at the lake. The activities all cost extra so take that into consideration. Take snacks too. We didn’t get lunch until 4 pm. If you are an animal lover, DO NOT visit the lion park. The organisation and tour guide were great.
Day trip to Lake Sapanca from Istanbul
A good day trip with lots of activities for couples and families including the aquarium, cable cart with good views of lake sapanca. Can be a little bit expensive when you add all the activities
