We had a very nice tour with Ahmet. We were picked up from the hotel on time, and after we had collected other passengers from various other hotels, we went to the mountains to visit a mosque. We then drove on, making several photo stops, to the ruins of a village founded around 200 BC in a pine forest and then to a cafeteria. After relaxing there with cold drinks, we continued to the Green Lake Dam and from there to a lakeside restaurant for lunch. After a subsequent break with the opportunity to swim in the lake, go fishing or go pedal boating (all included in the price), we went on the ship for a trip across the lake with a swim stop and then to the waterfall in Manavgat. All in all we spent an entertaining day with interesting insights into Turkish culture and beautiful landscapes, enriched with informative explanations.

I really liked the excursion. The day before, the regional organizer sent a WhatsApp message with the pick-up time. The pick-up was on time. We were a group of 11 people. The minibus ride was relaxing. We heard a lot about the country and its people from Klaus Müller, aka Mehmet. Lunch was really great. Not the typical excursion meal. All in all a nice experience. I recommend this excursion with a clear conscience.

Ça a été une très belle excursion de détente. Le déjeuner a été très bon avec du poisson frais ou bien de la viande et légumes/pâtes/ris à volonté. Le guide a été discret mais présent et le chauffeur a été très professionnel et attentif dans la conduite du bus. Personnellement je n’ai pas fait la baignade car l’eau été trop froide à mon goût mais beaucoup de gens ont bien profité. Une belle journée à faire.

We were really excited. Everything was right here, from the pick-up, which took place on time, to the off-road tour, lunch and the boat trip. We've never had so much fun on a tour. Next time I would like to use this seller again. Only to recommend. Thank you for the wonderful day.

Amazing!! So much fun a must do!! But take a towel and something to put your phone in because the water fights are sooo good but you get drenched !
