It was an amazing trip to Sapanca! Our tour guide, Muhammed, was fantastic he explained everything clearly, shared lots of interesting information, and was incredibly patient with all of us. Thank you for making the experience so enjoyable!
I loved it so much it was great everything was great I would like to go again I will definitely recommend my friends
Terrible tour. Everything that was said on Viator site was wrong. This is not a tour for you if you are expecting relaxing day at the lake Sapanca and visit to Masukiye village. We didn't even see the village,Ormanya national park was not even mentioned on the day of the tour,but we spent our day visiting aquarium,zip line,shop with turkish delights,shop with honey products... Of course, this was all extra charge which would be okay if this was the tour that we booked. I wanted to visit Masukiye village and Ormanya NP,not to go to the aquarium. On top of everything our tour guide didn't know a word of English and lunch that was included in the tour was served at 7PM (in which universe is this time for lunch,this was dinner). We lost a day for nothing.
The trip was one of the best in Istanbul, value for money, and well orgnized
Honestly, my parents were way beyond my expectations. The price was excellent, and what made the trip even better was our tour guide, Mohammed. He understands everything, explains everything, and gives you all the details. May God bless him and grant him success. He's an asset to any place, I swear! ❤️🙏🏻
On the contrary, it was a beautiful trip and there are no negative comments.
Brother Abu Mu'adh Al-Murshid Al-Shayahi is a hero and a capable man, and he speaks more than five languages.
Actually it is on average ,, the guide raed is good and helping ,, but there is some things need to be better ,, the bus is somehow small , chair not comfortable , small bag storage , no charging ports ,, and the restaurant is awful ,, I went 2 times to sabanca before one with alhaitham and the other with mercan and this one was the worst one compared to 55 usd that includes only the meal and delivery ,, not trying to be pessimistic just I believe you should know what we feel so you can be better ,, and sorry if I was rude .
