Reasonable prices and best local guides we had during Antalya city tour

Absolutely terrible service. First when we arrive they seemd hesitant to take card as payment, because of taxes. They even said it in their language and thought we couldnt understand. Secondly they threaten to not drive us back if we didnt drive their atv's properly. Threats before we even started. In the listing on bookfromlocals they said you'd be able to swim in the break time, but no. There is no place to swim anything other than their little scam camp trying to sell us drinks and ice cream. Sat there for 10 minutes and we drove again. Third their service is horrible. Just terrible experience overall.

Everything was terrible. We didn't see anything from Bursa. Our guide didn't give any information. The main goal of this trip was to take the tourist from shop to shop to spend money as much is possible. When we were looking around on our own the guide was chatting with the owner of one of the shops. There was one mosque and one tomb, he didn't say anything about those, but gave information about the building of the shop and tried to convince us to go in, "just look around"... everybody knows what that's mean. They took us to some farm where they make jam and "you can buy some if you want"...

The food was delicious and authentic, with generous portions of classic Greek dishes. The live music and traditional dancing created such a lively, joyful atmosphere — we couldn’t help but join in! The stunning sunset view over the island made the night even more magical. Warm hospitality and great vibes all around. Highly recommend!

Amazing trip. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The views from the hot air ballon was spectacular. Everything flowed very well and although the excursion was long it was very smooth and worth every penny.

We booked a trip to The Land of Legends through this company and they were amazing! The transfer was on time, very comfortable, and the communication was excellent throughout. Everything was organized perfectly, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend them for their professional and friendly service!

Great time spent on board with super nice entertainment and amazing views from the pirate boat.
Recommend to everyone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Booking from someone other than your travelling agency it may feel unreliable or scary for anyone. We took a risk by booking via bookfromlocals.com and it was the best thing ever. The whole experience it was absolute joy. The Buggy Safari and all the staff who facilitated us took care from the point we arrived at the destination to very end. The whole ride was well organised and safety conscious and still could get the extremes of it. After all ride, came back nothing than covered in mud, dirt and dusts and with the widest smiles on the faces. Perfect communication from anyone and thank you for making our ride even more fun.

The tour was very well organized. Me and my family had great time. We had enough time in each stop to enjoy it. Our tour guide was very helpful and friendly.

The experience in itself is Great, the staff is friendly and everything was well organized.

It was a great trip for a big group to go on, we were a family group kids and adults. Just the right length of time, good pick up good food friendly staff.

Great first experience scuba diving

Instructors were very patient and clear on what to do. Will be going for my scuba licence next!

It was a great trip, the best was rafting. Our head of the boat was very friendly. He was caring about the kids. We were well prepared, had to enter the river before boarding the boats and go in a train a couple of minutes to get used to the cold water. There were lots of splashes in the water with other boats, lots of fun with water fighting.
Kids liked the zipline.
There were magnificent mountain views to make photos of during the jeep tour.

Very relaxing, very good value

It was easy to get tickets. A simple bank payment via a WhatsApp link worked just fine. Self drive to the park is easy. But you dont get all the info.
At the park it would be nice to know where to park your car.
Use the entrance on the right hand side.
Internet bookings have to use a different counter. At the counter they could provider better information on what is included in the deal. Now we had to figure it out by ourselfs.
The slides in the park were great. The food and drinkt also great.
Good to know that money you put on your bracelet card isnt refunded afterwards if paid by card.
All and all a nice experience!

The tour was amazing, and the tour guide really helpful.

DO NOT USE THEM !!!!
Went to Kos and booked Pirates of Kos 3 island tour with them. Paid 25€ booking fee in advance. Went to boat day before to ask about remaining payment and Greek staff says they don’t work with Turkish companies and we had been scammed in price. 110€ tour would’ve cost us 160€ via bookwithlocals. Total scam.
DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Diving tours is offered with false promises. For experienced divers, "Book from Locals" advertises dives of 18–30 m, wreck dives, spots like Aquarium Bay and Turtle Island. We did not get ANY of this. They write operated by "Alanya Diving Center" on their website. In reality, the tour was with a different dive operator, and the only dives offered for experienced divers were rather unspectacular, shallow beach dives. The first dive a maximum depth of 10 meters and the second dive a maximum depth of 15 meters. The staff of the dive operator confirmed that the information on "Book from Locals" website is incorrect. They told me (quote) "they lie". The details are misleading and do not match the actual tour. Communication with "Book from Locals" was very fast before booking—responses within minutes—but since I raised my complaint, my messages have been ignored.

The dive operators itself were really friendly and helpful. They do a good job. Certainly a good experience for beginners, but not for experienced divers. They have often apologized to us because we don't get the tour we were promised by "Book from Locals".
