Excursión Lateral A La Cueva De Altinbesik Y Al Pueblo De mana

Very enjoyable day , guide very professional , lunch was great , trip included tea with local family , would highly recommend .

So they were not running this English speaking tour because the cave was not open but they let it be booked and did not tell me this would be a completely different tour. When picked up bus was full of people for a German tour, I kept hearing the names of places that were not supposed to be on my tour. So I raised my hand x2 to ask about where we were going and what actually he was saying about where we were. He repeatedly brushed me off, saying he would explain in English after he did German. He did not do a few sentences in & then translate at all. Finally said we would have a stop and let me ask him about the cave, at which time he explained that wasn’t open so this was a tour elsewhere … not places I wanted to go or would have signed up to go. Had I been told I would have booked a different tour for my one day in this area! Told him I wanted to go back to my hotel & not do this tour. He called a taxi from the restroom stop but I had to pay like 20-25€ to get back. By the time I was back of course it was too late to hop on a tour to some place else I wanted to go in the area. They did refund my tour expense but I still was not able to see the things I had stopped in the area to see which was one of the national parks. They messaged with me day before & could easily have said we aren’t running this tour now do you want to do this instead. :(

This excursion exceeded all expectations! Pickup, communication, food... everything was great. Our tour guide Mehmet shared many impressive pieces of information. That was very interesting. The breaks in between were always at the right time. The food was very delicious. Our conclusion: If you go on an excursion, then definitely this excursion with Mehmet. Thank you very much for the lovely day!

The excursion was quite interesting; one gets to know the country and its people a little, learns quite a bit about the older and newer history of the region, and the best part is the inflatable boat tour in the cave. However, the tour drags on a bit, as it takes quite a long time to travel.

Was promised caves. Didn’t receive the cave. Was driving around for 4 hours of the trip. Was boring, all was in German. Didn’t help the English with speaking. Would not book and avoid this company. Asked for 50% refund. Was only refunded £10.

The bus driver was nice on time and very friendly. Unfortunately, the lake in the cave was closed. Work was being carried out. Because of this, for us the trip was a little less interesting. Still nice villages and an old mosque seen. Had a lovely lunch.

Even though the cave boat tour was closed, the visit see the traditional button houses and mosque was a fantastic experience.

The trip begins with a pick up by the tour guides, at your selected location. This was swift and on time, the driver came out to greet us and check if we were coming along. The tour guide then explained the itinerary, and briefly mentioned that the lake/boat/ cave part of the trip is closed. We then continued with the trip up to the taurus mountain. It would have been useful to know beforehand how to dress appropriately for the occasion, as myself and my family dressed in preparation for a boat trip, and ended up quite cold in the top of the mountain, however the views were absolutely spectacular. The tour guide explained the history of the different parts of the mountain and kept us all well informed of what was coming up. The guide spoke in German and English throughout. We enjoyed a very delicious lunch at a turkish restaurant, however it would be nice to have a wider selection of meals rather than just chicken or kebabs. To end the trip we headed to a small village where we explored an old school, mosque and visited a family running a business in their home. We enjoyed a free tea and the family were very nice hosts! Overall, the trip ended up being pleasantly enjoyable but it was disappointing that the main attraction was cancelled without notice.

A very nice trip. The Altinbesik cave alone is certainly not the most spectacular hotspot but still worth seeing. The trail was the destination and our guide Ümit shortened the trip with a lot of information about land, culture and vegetation. Even a bay branch found its way onto the bus, thanks to our driver Ali. Two visits to locals in your villages were pleasantly untouristic. Lunch was very tasty and did not make me miss my all inclusive. At this point a thank you to About our guide and Ali our driver.

Nice excursion with visit to old village and caves. It's a lot of driving but this allows you to see a lot of the area. Tour guide knew a lot about what made the ride fun. The locations are very touristy and busy. The boat trip through the cave is definitely fun. All in all advisable excursion but the indicated duration of 6 hours is very short. We were gone for 8 hours in total, nice to know if you want to plan something in the evening.
