We - a family of 4 with another family of 4, went rafting with Seven Tours in Köprülü Kanyon in Turkey. Our host was simply great - very responsive and very helpful. Everything was organized very well, too - pick-up from and return to our hotel, onsite arrangements - equipment handover, transport to the starting point, lunch and the rafting itself, of course. Initially, I thought that the river is quite still but the entire experience turned out extremely funny and with sufficient white-water spots to pump our adrenaline.

Great landscape, great rafting guide and a lot of fun!! In addition to the brilliant experience, we found the implementation really good. Although we had only booked rafting, we didn't have to take part in any unnecessary waiting times, since we weren't so lucky with another provider 2 years earlier.

Amazing day out! The Jeep Safari to the canyon is a lot of fun. You can get some amazing pictures there. The rafting is really good fun and the staff were amazing.

All in all we had a lot of fun with Tornado Rafting as a couple. Our guide Maher was great.

Fantastic event. Great team, which made this trip really good fun! We loved it.
