Captain Tasos fishing

Don't book from them Captain Tasos fishing trip in Kos island. They will try charge you 25£. And if you go to direct website you will pay on the boat. The lady said to me pay 25£ deposit and then 105£ on boat. 105£ is 122€. When I contact different website the gentleman said to me you will pay 120€ on boat and don't pay anything on website. That's how they cheating people. Avoid avoid

Avoid Avoid Avoid!

We just get back from amazin trip.
1. Trip supposed to be without shopping, but mainly object were shopping centres instead of tourist objects.
2. Time in Pamukkale was too.short only 3 hours.
3. Food was crap, and they forces you to buy a drinks, because they dis not allowed you to have your own.
4. Guide haven't got much knowledge about thr objects
Why should we use your company again?

Never trust this company!

I booked rafting and Jeep safari! They promised “An open-top Land Rover Defender”. Instead they used a very old minibus!!! I texted them and they told me they will check and get back to me! They never did.They lied to us and made our day awful I will never trust them or use their service ever again and want everyone to know this group is lying and should not be trusted.

My wife and I with my 8 year old son…

My wife and I with my 8 year old son had an AMAZING time on the jeep safari!!! I can’t tell you how awesome this excursion was - if you like a bit of adventure, thrills and fun (and getting wet!!!) then this is the one for you.

Booking the trip was extremely easy and the communication via WhatsApp to keep you informed and updated was excellent and instant (many thanks to NADIA).

This is suitable for young children there were kids probably 4 years of age upwards thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The drivers were great and the main guide was extremely fun and helpful.

Lunch was fresh and very tasty and cooked by local villagers in the mountains.

Scenery was beautiful driving up the Taurus mountains and driving through and to streams where you can get out and dip your feet.

The WATERFIGHT was just too much fun and a great touch - loved it!!!!

Big thanks to the people at Book From Locals who Hobby Safari for organising such awesome day - DO IT!!!!

we had a wonderful diving trip. the processing of booking, collection, supply on the boat and return went smoothly. tip for experienced divers: if you have problems underwater, make yourself known, otherwise the guide will just keep diving...

Excellent service throughout

I had a very easy and great experience with Hayat for booking my hot air balloon ride. I was able to ask questions via watsapp and got immediate response which was great. Hayat also made sure to check that my driver had picked me up in the morning for my balloon ride. She also sent me more information about tours and activities available to me in Cappadocia which was great.
I would certainly recommend to everyone to book with this company anything you need in Cappadocia and enjoy the balloon ride.

Great experience with BookFromLocals!

Book from locals was one of the best and easiest experiences when it comes to booking tours in Antalya! Yulia was very helpful and patient and was informative. She also made sure we were on the tour bus on the day. If you’re looking to book a tour, look no further. Prices are reasonable and easy to book over WhatsApp.
