Fantastic day out! - Absolute great day out! We took the English speaking bus and our guide was awesome! The sights were spectacular and the swim break at green lake was amazing! Great water fights with other buses throughout the day - please note if you’re a grumpy old German couple who has no interest in having fun or getting wet (like the miserable sods we had on our bus) then this is not for you! For everyone else I would definitely recommend this for a day out whether it’s with family, kids or friends, a fantastic day will be had by all!

Amazing day - We were picked up from the hotel on time and what a start to an amazing day. We were taken to the mosque which is the biggest in Manavgat. We were then taken to the ancient ruins then a stop off at the green lake with a boat trip provided whilst lunch was prepared. Lunch was served and then there was some free time to go for a swim or enjoy a foam party. Afterwards we got back on the bus and taken to the dam and the Manavgat waterfalls which both were excellent. We were then dropped off at the hotel again. A fabulous tour and Vulcan was excellent as a tour guide. He spoke excellent English, there was singing and dancing on the bus and we had waterfights with the other tours. The expert driver was fabulous at navigating some very tight Turkish country roads. A fantastic day out, one I am sure I will talk about and remember for a long time.

Side Mixed Excursion - Really good tour with lots to see. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 as lunch although very nice, wasn't filling for me. Choose meatballs over chicken as you get more. But still worth the money

Great day out. - Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Gave us information all the way round, as well as a song & dance. The mosque was something wouldn't have considered visiting but was an added bonus. Green canyon was beautiful, boat trip relaxing. Ruins where interesting. Waterfall was pretty. Visit to the dam was a little hair raising for me, I don't like heights, but stunning photo opportunity. All in all a great Turkish experience.

Fantastic views of Alanya... - Fantastic views of Alanya with cable car and boat trip. We really enjoyed our day or and I'm happy to recommend. I think the trip could be improved as going out of and back in to Alanya from Dim River seemed a bit long, maybe needs another stop off or only go out. Or guide Ali spoke good English and was interesting, and must have a big 'network' that quickly helped him locate a missing guest! My wife thought Ali could include a local story to help with the drive to/from Dim River, only small criticism,

Dangerous buses? - Very disappointing. We were taken from our original bus to another with an English and Polish speaking guide. We were fine with this. We then went to see the mosque. It may be a very modern building but it is only the second time I have been in a mosque and that was fine. Went back to the bus we were supposed to be on to discover there were no seats. Two people had chosen to get on that bus inspite of not speaking English or Polish. Rather than make these two moved we were put on a bus that did not have an English speaking guide. Roman ruins were not that brilliant. Could not get decent photos as too many people. Drinks break without explanation. To be fair drinks not too expensive but toilets not great. Then a trip up mountain to see dam. Then back to cafe in middle of nowhere for lunch which was ok. Then boat trip, There were not enough seats for the number of people, We had not been told there would be a swim stop by the Love Holidays rep but no matter. Then a stop at an orange farm for no apparent reason - nothing to see just stuff to buy. Then to the waterfalls where guide made us pay one euro each - eay more than the 90 lira it should have cost, He ignored my 100 lira note. I was not satisfied with the coaches. They were ancient. There were holes in the floor. There were rips in every seat. There were no arm rests and to my mine, worst of all, no seat belts. I did not feel safe driving at speeds of 70km/h knowing there would be no protection at all if there were an accident. Would not use this company again

DO NOT book with this tour agency - This tour was a nightmare of a day from start to finish. - We booked this tour at the same time as a group of 6. However, when collected we were on separate buses. We protested this but were unfortunately met with a rude and dismissive response. - The first stop was a mosque of no historical significance and was only built in the past 10-15 years. No explanation of its history or origin was given. - We then visited some Roman ruins which felt like a cattle market with approx 7 other tour buses and ~200 other tourists. Again with no explanation of its history. - We made 3 stops to the same cafe/restaurant in the middle of nowhere and waited for a total of 1 hour 30 mins while being told we had to pay extra for drinks. It was approaching 40 degrees and not even water was offered. - The boat trip was horrendous and did not include a 1 hour swim stop as advertised. There was loud obnoxious music playing the whole time. - A bbq including meat, chicken, fish and veg was promised on the boat tour. Instead we received a school dinner style meal. - After the boat trip our group refused to pay the full price of €40pp but were happy to pay for the services received. The rude and obnoxious staff responded by surrounding and shoving a card reader in my partners face demanding we pay now, as well as a 200 Turkish lira surcharge for the privilege of paying by card. - We refused and the tour leader responded by abandoning us at the cafe and telling us to take a taxi back (which cost us €80) if we didn’t pay immediately. The tour is a rip off, the staff are rude and obnoxious and they will attempt to rip you off at any opportunity. Don’t bother booking with this company. There is nothing worth seeing on their tours. The 1 and 2 star reviews are the most accurate.

Never again life-threatening - We were picked up at the hotel on time. The tour guide introduced himself as Ali Baba. The bus driver did not introduce himself. The bus was old, dirty, it smoked, the tires stank, panoramic windows so dirty that you couldn't see through them, we could only open one side with protest, the other remained closed because the wind was very strong. The music was far too loud. The bus driver drove like a madman. The guests' requests to drive more slowly went unheeded. His almost fatal stunt, racing towards the slope of the reservoir and then turning 10 cm before the cliff, prompted me to say a few words to the bus driver, as did the other guests. The driver was not very interested. He drove on. The tour guide was unfortunately not the brightest candle on the cake. In the mosque he talked about his religion but nothing about the mosque itself. There was hardly any information in the ancient city, and what was there was wrong. We stopped to use the toilet and buy a flatbread for 3 euros, then we drove off again, stopping here 45 minutes later to eat a cheap meal of pasta and go on a boat to take a trip with Ballermann music. Some older people complained about the noise, but it was not reduced. The tour guide from the other of the 2 Prestige Grup buses, a Russian, was drunk and smoked one cigarette after the other, and we all got the smoke. Then we went to an orange plantation. Well, there were a few trees there and you got the impression that they were relatives of the Grup, who were now also making a few euros. Then we quickly went to the "waterfall" with an entrance fee. No joke, it's a tiny little rapid and not a waterfall. Opposite is a small mini-market, where a really delicious freshly squeezed orange juice with ice costs 1 euro. We expressly warn against this trip. We are glad to have survived the whole thing unscathed. 60 euros for 2 people is absolutely a waste of money.
