This Side Jeep Safari tour enabled us to have a wonderful day with my family. It was really great to feel the adrenaline and see the amazing view of the Taurus Mountains. We were amazed by the beauty of Manavgat Waterfall. The village visit allowed us to experience Turkish hospitality. Returning to our hotel after a day full of all these experiences will remain a wonderful memory. I definitely recommend it!
I rate the Side Green Canyon Off-Road Jeep Safari Adventure with Lunch tour with 3 stars. The off-road experience and magnificent views we experienced during the tour met our expectations. However, the food and service throughout the tour could have been slightly improved. Overall, a good adventure but some areas could use more improvement.
It was a one of a kind tour! Everything was just perfect, amazing! I did the tour with some friends and we all had so much fun. The jeep picked us up from our hotel in Side and drove us to the countryside. The driver of the jeep was really experienced in off road tracks. Best part was when we rent water guns and started to fight each other. We were like children! I saw some nice villages and the people are very authentic there. Lunch was superb, very tasty. With a fair price we all had a great day.
