Happy memories great fun

They put the F in FUN! Lovely bunch at Discovery. From the moment you get picked up to the moment you are dropped off. Discovery make sure you have a good time. A big thanks to Axl my driver who had such a great taste in music and very much the gentleman. Spider full of energy to make sure good pics are taken. Jonquil (not sure how you spell it) very funny tour guide. Other drivers were great I would definitely use them again for any further trips.

A must when your in Side

Easy to book with Tripadvisor. Johnny Cash the tour guide was amazing. Very friendly, explained everything very clearly and was a fun guide to have around. Our driver Joseph was awesome. Very funny and great driving skills. Made the trip special and exciting. And then the Acrobat Miki, a daredevil on the cars, I won't spoil the stunts he does but go see for yourself. Also Miki very friendly with all the kids. The safari tour was amazing, it show how beautiful turkey is. I want to thank the whole crew for this very special tour.

Nice time around the area.

Me and my family went on this jeep tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The canyon was a gorgeous sight and we enjoyed being driven around in the jeep. Lunch was also quite nice. The tour drivers also gave us a lot of information about the sites we visited and kept us entertained throughout. Just be aware that entrance to the waterfall only accepts card (not sure if this is all year round, but it was when we went), which we did not know about before.
