Excellent trip, brilliant guides and delicious food. Plenty of opportunities for a great Instagram picture. - Transport arrived on time, and guide was really nice, spent lots of time explaining the local history on the journey. Plenty of stops to take pictures and get some air. Cave was amazing and again guides were excellent. Food at traditional restaurant was delicious and tour of village and mosque really was like stepping back in time. Would recommend trip to all.

Recommended tour! - A very nice tour to learn something about the country. From booking to being picked up at the hotel to being transported back to the hotel, everything went perfectly! The German-speaking tour guide Memet explained everything in good, understandable German and with humor.
The Altinbesik cave and the visit to the mountain villages were a great experience. The food was also very good. Overall, a great tour!

Tour is recommended - Very good organization. Mete gave me all the necessary details regarding pick-up time and meeting point the evening before.
The tour guide, Jenny, passed on his knowledge to us with a lot of fun and joy. The cave is definitely worth a visit. The small, sleek village of Sarihacilar is also very beautiful. It is definitely a highly recommended tour.

Things about Turkey I didn't know! - A very informative tour; the guide 'Johnny' was very knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining everything in multiple languages.
Mete has been in contact before and after the trip to ensure everything has been clear and straightforward before the tour and that we were happy afterwards - I'd happily recommend to anyone visiting the area!

A wonderful fun day trip with great sights - The tour was very varied, we saw a lot of the country and the people, took photo stops in the Taurus Mountains, a mountain village with a delicious lunch, explored a cave with rubber dinghies and visited a self-catering village with button houses and a mosque. Our tour guide was very funny, relaxed and explained a lot to us about the culture and the places. All in all, it was great, it was a wonderful day and our first booking, we were a little worried about the price as the hotels charge significantly different prices.

Dishonest - If you don’t understand German, don’t bother going. You won’t be carried along and they won’t care.
I’m guessing they wanted to cheap out and provided only a German guide, meanwhile tour says English and German. When I complained they said they have an English translator who was speaking German and turkish 95% of the time.
