We were a small group of friends looking for something low key and relaxing, and this tour was perfect. Agva is so charming and not crowded at all. The boat ride was slow and peaceful, and we found a little café that served the best gözleme. It was just what we needed after a few busy days in Istanbul.

This trip felt like a breath of fresh air. Agva is such a quiet and beautiful place, far removed from the fast pace of the city. The boat ride was gentle and very scenic. We had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the atmosphere. It was a great way to slow down and recharge.

Agva is peaceful and the nature around the rivers is amazing. The boat ride was a highlight for us. It wasn’t too long and kept everyone's interest. We liked that we had time to explore the town on our own too. It felt easygoing and well organized.

This was a peaceful and well paced day out. Agva is quiet and surrounded by nature, which made it perfect for me. I enjoyed taking photos and just sitting by the river for a while. The boat cruise was relaxing and gave a different view of the town. It’s ideal if you're looking for something calm and scenic.

We really enjoyed this trip. It was quiet, scenic, and gave us time to just enjoy being together. The boat ride gave us a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding trees. We also had free time to walk around and try some local food. It felt personal and unhurried, which was exactly what we were hoping for.

We really enjoyed the peaceful setting in Agva. The boat cruise was beautiful and the riverside scenery made for some great photos. The only reason I’m giving four stars is that I wish we had a bit more structured information or a short guided walk in the town. Still, it was a relaxing and well organized trip overall.

Agva is lovely and the boat ride was a great way to take in the nature around us. The group size was comfortable and we liked having time to explore on our own. My only small complaint is that lunch wasn't included or clearly suggested, so we had to figure that part out ourselves. Aside from that, it was a calm and refreshing day out.
