Fantastic

Hayat has been a great support when I booked through book from locals. Hayat organised everything so well and as a result no delays were experienced and the whole tour was a great experience.

Great tour

Hayat who arranged the tour for us was amazing! Quick replies and very accommodating with all relevant information.
The tour itself was good for what you pay for as you are being taken to the other side of antalya for just 25pp.
The tour guide Mehmet was also very nice and knowledgeable.
What was annoying however was the unplanned and unmentioned trip to a jewellery store where we ended up wasting 1 hour there... forced to buy which just put you off even looking. I would have bought something if the staff did not keep pestering me.
Overall waterfalls and kaleichi was good :)

Best days of our holiday

Me and my husband booked 2 tours from this company. They were very professional and helpful. Üzeyir was very informative when we were unsure on what to book and gave suggestions on how to use our time here. Payment was easy and pick up and drop off from hotel were an added bonus. Our tour guide Yasin was incredibly friendly and approachable and easy to get along with. We did the Pammakkale tour with him and the day went smoothly and we were well informed of breaks and times given. We will definitely be using them in the future if we return.

The tour guide Nazım

The tour guide Nazım , was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we were all comfortable during the trip. The cable car ride had breathtaking views and was a highlight of the day. The silver jewelry store visit was a bit underwhelming, but the tour of the old town more than made up for it. Overall, I highly recommend this trip

Unprofessional and not reliable business. Stay away !!!

I booked a green and red Cappadocia tour from their website and got the booking confirmation via email. The next day, an agent told me the original price had changed, and now I have to pay the premium due to some tourism fees change. After multiple back and forths, the agent agreed to the original booking amount only if I could pay the advance in full. The website never mentioned any of these during the booking, and I felt this is misleading and a waste of my time. I would rather book from other trusted providers.

Horse Riding

I specifically did horse riding and the service, from private transfer to the activity itself, including the pictures were really good. I was solo exploring so I felt really safe and I enjoyed myself a lot. Definitely will use this service again.

They offer multiple activities, with very good prices. When I went to Antalya, the prices were really expensive in person but much more affordable and worth it with ‘bookfromlocals’.

Excellent Tour

Me and my husband booked a Antalya city tour booked with a visit to the water fall, lunch and boat ride and got time to shop after. It was a wonderful experience from the moment we were picked up.
Uzeyir our tour guide truly looked after us and was very experienced and had so much knowledge to share. He gave us good advice about how and where to find certain products and where to shop. He made sure we were looked after throughout the day. We definitely will use the service again and would love to have the same guide. Our driver was also very customer focused and helpful during our day trip. Thank you so much

Best activity in turkey

We contacted Hayat (my girlfriend and I) she organised a hot air balloon trip for sunrise even the prices in other companies are really expensive but she made a good price with us .
Trip was really amazing as a first time we try it we really enjoyed it .
If anyone in Capadokia wanna try hot air balloon I recommend you to contact Hayat she will organise your trip and also the price includes pick up you from where you stay around in the early morning.
Thanks again Hayat
