Boring, not as advertised
Bahram has already said everything in his review. Very boring experience, where are the mountains? Power of the buggies is very bad, hard to drive any hill. They want to sell pictures after driving, this is not included in the price. Before driving you should buy extra sun glasses and other stuff. While break you get offered drinks and Snacks, afterwards they tell you that this also has to be played extra. Bus drive from hotel very long because many people of other hotels must be picked up.
Operator response
Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Buggy Safari in the Taurus Mountains did not meet your expectations.
The tour is designed to provide a fun off-road adventure for a range of skill levels, but we understand that some guests may find the buggies less powerful on steeper hills. Guest safety and comfort are our priorities, so the route and speed are carefully managed.
Optional extras such as photos, sunglasses, snacks, and drinks are not included in the base tour price, and we apologize if this was not clearly communicated. Pickup times may be longer when collecting guests from multiple hotels, as the service is designed to accommodate all participants safely.
We appreciate your comments, which help us improve both communication and expectations for future guests.
Kind regards,
Tourmania Team

Scam, rip off , avoid!!!
Absolute scam just drive round a dirt track for 40 mins , make you stop off for a 30’mins “break” no waterfalls no going on the mountains, I was expecting to see such nice views on the mountains but like I said it’s nothing of the sort my buggy broke down 2 times , no seatbelts either, the buggy’s I’m the pics are not the one they use there completely old and battered avoid at all costs believe me.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are genuinely sorry to read how disappointed and frustrated you felt after joining the Buggy Safari tour from Side.
We understand your concerns regarding the route, scenery, and overall expectations. Buggy safaris are designed as off-road experiences on dirt tracks rather than high-altitude mountain routes or waterfall visits; however, it is clear that the tour did not meet the expectations created by the listing, and for this we sincerely apologize. Your feedback about the condition of the buggies, breakdowns during the tour, lack of seatbelts, and the difference between promotional photos and actual vehicles is taken very seriously.
Safety is our top priority, and any report of mechanical issues or inadequate equipment is unacceptable. We will be forwarding your comments directly to the local operator and conducting a thorough review of their vehicles, safety procedures, and the accuracy of the tour description. If standards are not met, corrective action will be taken.
We truly regret that your experience led you to feel misled, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention, as this helps us improve and better inform future guests.
King Regards
Tourmania Team

No waterfalls at all!
No waterfalls, just a break at a dusty field with plastic bottles everywhere. Even when you arrive they show pictures of waterfalls and beautiful scenery but in fact it's opposite

Really fun morning
Had a really fun few hours, the guy who runs it is really funny and did a great job explaining everything to everyone (in 3-4 different languages!) It all felt very safe and well run, all the guys were really friendly and constantly made sure everyone was doing OK. We were rushing in the morning and forgot to take money for drinks etc but they let everyone pay when they drop you back off if needed, I'd definitely recommend taking some money to buy a mask or take your own as it's very wet and dusty out there! Only drawback was that the jet2 rep told us the transfer would take 10-15 minutes, it actually took close to an hour but not their fault.

Top organized and had a lot of fun. Attention you get very dirty, it is worth
Made a real buck and was super organized! Communication was via WhatsApp. Our hotel was not included in the selection. This could be clarified one day before the pickup via WhatsApp. The drive from the hotel to the track was about 40 minutes. Once at the track, there was a brief briefing and the opportunity to buy goggles, as well as a cloth as a mouthguard. Cost per person 8€, we found fine. Valuables could be stored in a locker. After a short test drive we hit the slopes. This had several water and mud crossings. Conclusion You get neat dirty, but it really puts you in a mood. Several stops were also made during the ride to move the somewhat slow drivers to the rear. Photos could be bought after the ride for 12€, we also received them digitally via AirDrop.
We would definitely book it again!

Good
Was an excellent experience. Only reason not giving 5 stars is because when I booked the experience it also included entry to.the water falls. This did not take place as the driver took me back to my hotel. The buggy safari was very enjoyable

Amazing buggy experience
We did the buggy Safari and had an amazing time. The route was great, and you get to drive for a good amount of time and even through water. They take some amazing photos that you can purchase after the tour. I highly recommend this tour, Darren was great!
