I really enjoyed the boat ride and exploring the open air market. I’d happily do this trip again. The meal served on the boat was both delicious and full of flavor.

We were told to be ready outside the hotel at 8:20 a.m., but the bus didn’t show up until 9:30 a.m. Unfortunately, not long after we set off, the bus broke down, causing another unexpected delay. We eventually continued after about an hour. Once we reached the destination, we immediately boarded the river cruise, but everything felt rushed and tiring. The cruise itself was lovely, the meal was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind. However, the rest of the day felt chaotic, which didn’t suit me. I came to relax, not feel like I was constantly on the move. We were taken to three different bazaars, which gave the impression of a sales focused tour not what I had signed up for. Additionally, the guide spoke only English, even though I had specifically booked a German speaking tour, which I found disappointing.

It was a fantastic day trip and very reasonably priced. The pace was relaxed and enjoyable, with lunch provided. Both the driver and the guide were genuinely great guys.
Helpful? Yes
We had a great day overall, but visiting two bazaars felt unnecessary one would have been plenty. The beach stop during the boat trip was disappointing, with broken and dirty sunbeds that cost a euro to use. You’re not allowed to bring your own food or drinks on board, so the prices were quite steep 3.50 euros just for an ice lolly. The boat part of the trip only lasted half the day, while the rest was mostly spent on the coach going to bazaars and visiting a mosque.
Helpful? Yes
I really liked the boat cruise and the visit to the mosque, but the bazaars weren’t my thing I didn’t find them enjoyable.
Helpful? Yes
This was a pleasant and relaxing trip. I especially enjoyed the river scenery, Manavgat, and the waterfalls. I do wish we had spent more time exploring the historical spots and less at the outlet store. Thanks to everyone involved such kind people!
