Clearly Recommended - Great excursion with lots of information and very nice tour guide. Be sure to use the bathing breaks, in the reservoir to bathe is wonderful.
Excellent value for money.

Great excursion - We took the excursion on 14/08. I loved the excursion, as well as my 10-year-old daughter. Everything is as described. The Guide spoke German and English very well. I saw in some comments that the stops were short, but mostly long enough to make the necessary photos. Except maybe for lunch 15 minutes more would have been welcome. I know they have to respect the timing, maybe an earlier Check-out in the morning should allow the extra 15 minutes... When the first stop came back, people wanted to change places, because when they boarded the bus at the beginning of the journey some families could not sit together. The Guide wanted us to always sit in the same seat so we wouldn't waste time at every stop. I understand both sides, maybe the Guide could specify this when entering the bus and, as far as possible, try to guide people on the bus so that families can sit together (just a suggestion to avoid frustration of some people;-) ). Otherwise, everything was perfect, it was very fun, despite the big heat, nice little game ... we threw water at each bus crossing (bus without windows). The small dive in the lake was also very appreciable. The Guide had a lot of humor, it was really fun. We loved...

Great day out - We had amazing time the tour guide Ouz can was brilliant. I would’ve only liked if we could actually gone closer to waterfall (to dip our feet).

Day trip - We paid like £18 each for this trip and it was AMAZING!!
Worth every penny and so affordable
Started the day with visiting a mosque we where picked up by a tour bus there was about 25 other people, then headed to Manavagat waterfall, then to the old city lots of old ruins, then to a small cafe, a massive dam, then headed to green canyon and a boat trip, then lunch by the water as in photo.
We headed back and on the way stopped at a orange farm and ate sweet sweet oranges then dropped back to the hotel
The tour guide spoke English and was very friendly
There was also a photographer with us, snapped lots of great pics, followed us around. We paid £25 for about 1000 photos he put on a USB for us
Defo book!

Exceptional Green Lake - A unique experience especially when we were taken in 4x4 Land Rovers instead of a bus. The off road was amazing fun for all, the food was fantastic and the guides were fantastic, Spidey boy the name says it all. Take the chance to go and enjoy this amazing day out.

Great fun - We went on this trip yesterday and had a really good time! We saw plenty of varied and beautiful sights. Charlie and his team were really good fun and they were excellent with our three-year-old son. Definitely recommend!

Good mixed bag of fun - I really wanted to do a couple of things in this tour so very much enjoyed the day. Picked up at hotel, about 15 mins waiting. Went to mosque first, beautiful and not far. The waterfall was nice, 7TL entrance fee is extra but that's only 70p! The ancient ruins is cool but it is not very well maintained. Then went to view the dam, the driver got us up to the highest point the bus would manage and was beautiful! Then headed to lake for boat trip, lunch and then onto organe garden.
The tour guides delivered the day in Russian and English as that was most of the custom. The 4 staff were all very friendly and have great rapport with each other, making the trip feel like a family trip. They ensured we all had masks but most people didn't wear them on the bus constantly, only me! They offer a video and photos of the day on dvd for about €19 euros. Food was buckwheat, few chips, small salad and 2 chicken skewers or a little trout. Both our meals were enjoyable. Most places are about € 3-4 for a beer. And the crepe is about 18TL.
All in all, a good fun day 0900-1720, definitely good value for money. Bus is a bit old but hey ho, all part of the fun!!

Poor - Bog standard whistle stop tour a few interesting highlights but the lake itself is just a massive reservoir. Feel like a waste of valuable time if I'm to be brutally honest wish I'd just booked the green canyon tour instead.

The worst tour ever - Bus cabrio- was terrible weather was definetly not appropriate to have all the "windows" down because it was way to windy and got the headache even between the tour.
Tour guide - absouletly terrible, only talked german only few words in english
The tour itself was really dull and even the stops were either 5 min or every 5 mins so we couldnt even look where we stopped then again was stoping for every unnecesary thing.
The tour was longerwhich we expected but there were not planned stops so because of that it took even longer this itself probably wouldnt be such a problem if the stops were intresting at all. Because of that stops we had to take a taxi to hotel because it was just to much. Was expecting to see 3/4 things but instead we took a stop st every possible restourant or even orange plantage which was not planned. Even after 20 min stop there we countined for 1 min to stop again on unplanned stop.
The boat trip was as well extendend beyond neccesary even the driver was doing some dangerous manevours closing to very short distance to other ship even tho the lake was really huge.
I forgot even the pickup was 15 minutes late. So to summrize all that this expiriance was not enyojable at all. Wouldnt reccomend to anyone. I apolgise for grammar mistakes.
