We booked this tour because we wanted to take a boat trip to the waterfalls. The reality, however, looked completely different. The pickup was already disappointing: We were picked up in an old bus without working air conditioning and taken to a pirate ship. The subsequent boat trip on the Manavgat River was not very spectacular. We drove a short distance downstream, briefly out onto the sea, and then back again. That had little to do with the tour we had expected. A positive point to highlight is the stop at the headland. There, you could swim in the sea and the river or go jet skiing. That was by far the best part of the excursion. The food on the ship was also good. After that, we were taken to a market. This stop was completely unnecessary for us, and we would have preferred to spend more time at the actual sights. Apparently, the market visit was part of the tour, which was not clearly evident to us from the description, however. The visit to the waterfalls was ultimately the biggest disappointment. Anyone expecting impressive waterfalls will be disappointed here. In addition, they tried to collect an entrance fee on-site again, even though it was already included according to the booking. Only after a discussion was this accepted. Overall, the price-performance ratio does not work for us. The tour seems more like a sales and shopping tour with a short boat trip than an excursion to the Manavgat Waterfalls. We would not book this tour again and unfortunately cannot recommend it.
Top experience, had to pay 30 euros at the boat for the falls. But after I showed that this was inclusive I immediately got my money back and a thousand excuses. Furthermore nice man of the boat who really always gave explanations and was present where needed. Good for his guests, really gave us welcome.
We zijn erg blij dat jullie een leuke tijd hebben gehad. In ons kantoor en op onze website staan alle prijzen en alles wat wel en niet inbegrepen is altijd duidelijk vermeld. Wij rekenen nooit verborgen kosten. Omdat andere verkopers de entree voor de waterval niet bij de prijs inbegrepen hadden, hebben zij ook aan jullie extra betaling gevraagd. Maar zodra jullie de naam van ons kantoor noemden, hebben ze dit meteen gecorrigeerd. Nogmaals onze excuses voor dit korte ongemak. We hopen jullie bij een andere tour opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen en wensen jullie een gelukkig en mooi leven toe. Met vriendelijke groet, Murat
