A Nice day in BuyukAda The minibus picked us from the hotel in time. the guide was awsome, talked to us all the time, gave us all the information we could ask for. The Island was super crowded and I would recommend skipping the electric car and renting a bike.

The tour included pick up and drop off at the hotel. The voucher stated a 8.30am pickup I called the agency no answer. They ended picking us up 1 hour later. They made no communication with us at all. The drop off the tour guide told us we had to go back in the train and make our own way back to the hotel even though we had paid for a hotel drop off. The worst terrible service if I could rate it a zero I definitely would have.
