Great experience
My friends and I booked the day trip from Antalya to Pamukkale and Hayat was super helpful. He organised the trip very promptly and gave us all the info we needed. Our assigned tour guide (Yasin) was amazing! Friendly and professional, he knew so many nice story and anecdotes about Antalya and Pamukkale and was very flexible during the tour, listening to our needs. Amazing experience, highly recommended!
Great service
Great service! Very helpful and fast reservations and perfect timing! The agent was Hayat! Enjoyed all activities and service!
Hello
Hello. I took a hot air ballon ride from pamukkale. Quite an experience it was. Miss hayat made it loosi ke for me. She was very supportive the whole time & available whenever needed. Can’t thank her enough

Had a very bad experience
Had a very bad experience, Trip to Antalya & 2 days wasted because of them
They claimed to take us at Duden waterfall ‘ took us to another where they dint have water, bbq buffet lunch was promised & they just provided with one plate of kebab each with no drinks or even water included
They also charged a lot of amount. Where other ppl will take you for 25 euros, they charge 35 & wont even take u to places you wanted to visit.
Bodrum Boat Trip
If you are fed up with being hounded by every shop owner and every bar when you are in Bodrum then I suggest you book a day boat trip with these guys we did and are glad we did we had a great day out visiting different parts of the area also had dinner on board there are plenty of liquid refreshments on board too. This day was very cheap the guys on the boat really pleasant, You get picked up and dropped off right outside your hotel, dont forget the boat trip stops at different locations so you get plenty of fun time swimming in the clear blue seas and when you get back to your room you will know that you have had a great day out ...do not pass this offer its worth every penny
رحلة جميلة جداً

It was a very nice and tidy trip, good people and they know their work well, I advise everyone to deal with them, I also advise you to communicate by WhatsApp and they will answer you for every inquiry.
SHAM OF A BOAT TRIP
Went on supposedly quiet boat trip ????
Full of turkish people never stop talking
Boat was filthy .food all went in bin , hygiene none
No one to meet at end of trip , 1 hour trying to find help alone , once they have your money they not interested ?
I was miles away from hotel
NOT INTERESTED WE ARE ONLY ON HOLIDAY ???
HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE LIKE ME LEFT SAME WAY
Terrible teribble
Terrible teribble. Booked a tour to Antalya but most of the time they just bring you to overpriced shops. Avoid at any costs
Highly Recommended For Activities Around Antalya
Had an opportunity to book an activity while in Antalya on a holiday with this company.
I found them prompt & courteous in their communication. It was for River Rafting in Korpulu - highly recommended. They organised this for us through their partne. They did not even take the deposit from us.
The pick-up arrived at our Hotel even before the appointed time to take us for the activity. After an enjoyable hectic day that included Lunch, we were dropped back to our Hotel. They only took the money when we had finished the activity.
I found their prices comparatively very reasonable with other such companies offering activities in Antalya.
Looking forward to use them in our next trip to Antalya.
Well…
Well….
First impression was good. Very nice person in customer service, easy booking.
We ended up booking a new trip that wasn’t online yet, waterfall trip from Lara. We had to pay upfront. Well okey. It was only 20 hours before pick up from our hotel.
Pick up was 8.30. But be in front of the hotel at 8.20.
8.45 still no bus. Communication through what’s app with custom service. They would call transportation company. Dident hear back from them, until we wrote at 9.00 that our patients was up.
I wanted all the money back, that I got. So that’s why it’s two stars and not one.
How ever. Would not book from them again.
We had look so much forward for the trip. Early in bed, early up, precious time on our holiday… makes you feel like a clown
Don’t book here if you want a worry free experience
The prices are cheap but lacks quality English speaking guides and the buses are EXTREMELY terrible. It’s the worst transport experience I’ve had. They use third world second class buses that are literally less comfortable than a low cost airline like Ryanair, no arm space. Also, the buses aren’t clean and the windows completely dirty. I’ve used them more than once and regretted it.
Worst experience ever
Worst experience ever. The owner is aggressive I mean very aggressive. One of the clients uses the accelerator too much. He comes to him and hit him in the hand. I asked him what he doing then he come to me and we almost get into a fight. My "quad-rusty garbage" adventure was finished and I have to come back to the hotel at my own expense. The guy is a real aggressive man. Just choose a different place at least you are not a dark tourist. They should check the company before they offer a booking for a tourist. I'm am extremely disappointed I even cancel my second booking with them for a boat tour because I don't believe they checking those doggy companies.
We had an amazing Antalya city tour…
We had an amazing Antalya city tour with this company. Highly reccomended!!
