Daily escape surrounded by nature - Sapanca Lake Tour is an ideal option to get away from city stress. Thanks to this tour, I spent a day surrounded by nature and I feel renewed. It was very enjoyable to ride a bike, go on a boat tour and have a picnic by the lake. The weather was also very nice. A tour I will definitely join again!

A fun day with the family - We joined the tour with my family and we all had a lot of fun. It was very enjoyable to walk by the lake, go on a boat tour and have a picnic. The children were also very happy to be in touch with nature. Our tour guide got along very well with the children and gave them information about the lake and its surroundings.

it was a quiet nature tour - We started with a comfortable journey from Istanbul, and along the way our guide shared the historical and cultural details of the region with us. Lunch was also very delicious and we had the chance to try local flavors. I definitely recommend it, especially for those who want to spend time with nature.

It was a wonderful stroll through nature - It was a great choice to spend a day surrounded by nature. Maşukiye was a very interesting region. It was literally an area for hobbits in the forest. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Lunch was delicious too.

Didn't see most of the sights posted on this tour.. - The guide was fantastic. He kind, patient and good personality. I picked this tour because all the nature pictures they have posted and thought it would be peaceful. It wasn't at all. Although they offer hotel drop off and pick up ours wasn't included although we were in istanbul. We took public transportation about 30 minutes to get to the meeting point. First stop- a zoo- it's was probably the most peaceful part of the tour. Got to see neat animals. Had about an hour here. Second stop- a candy store. We were all rushed into a small candy store for tasting and to buy things of you want. When we came out we were rushed by people outside to buy random things like socks. Third stop - cable cars- this was neat. Took awhile to get through the lines. I think we had 35-40 minutes here. It took almost exactly that length of time to go to the top on the mountains on the car and come directly back down. No time to explore at the top of the mountain . Oh and you had to pay to use the restroom here. Fourth stop - Sapanca lake- most importantly this is the name of the tour, which made me believe we would see more of it. We had lunch there, which was great. It was lunch on a boardwalk, with many shops. There was no true nature to see here. It was a business district on a lake where everyone tried to sell you their items or time on a paddle boat. We had less than an hour to eat and explore here. Fifth stop- ATV riding- this was hardly ATV riding- they do rent it to you to drive, tell you that you cannot switch drivers. You're herded in a line of ATVs on a gravel road where the signs posted want you to stay in a single file line. If one ATV stops the take pictures the whole lines stops. For it being such a short gravel road they did have a lookout place you can see great views. You have to pay for pictures there, the overlook was chained off unless you paid. If you don't want pictures no worries there are a few shops there that you can purchase other things while you wait for your group. Sixth stop- Zip lining- it was dark by time we made it here. Most people chose not to go in the dark. Then on to the 2 hour and 45 minute bus ride back to Istanbul. I understand they wanted to drop people directly at their hotels on the way back but we drove a circle around the city. They kept telling us they would get us to the tram that would take us to our hotel. But they didn't. We ended up taking an Uber to get back which was another 25 minutes. So if you want to be herded around all day to spend your money this is great. There is no nature here like in the pictures. This is not calm or scenic at all.
