an absolute must! I booked in German because I'm not so confident in English. Except for a German couple only English and Russian. Tour guide made sure I can sit right behind her and held culture and info in 3 languages. Very impressive. I felt very well taken care of. It's a bit of a hassle, but it was worth it. underground city; oh well. The open-air museum is all the more interesting and the English R guide has also put a lot of time and effort into explaining the story in an understandable way. Otherwise everything worked out, stopovers, food and shopping in the confectionery, ceramics and jewelry store was timely enough and not intrusive. only - point! I received the details for collection 2 hours before by email and of course I slept soundly. According to the information, I assumed 04:30/05:00. Actual pickup 03:45. I've never been out the door so fast :-)

We - a family of 4 with another family of 4, went rafting with Seven Tours in Köprülü Kanyon in Turkey. Our host was simply great - very responsive and very helpful. Everything was organized very well, too - pick-up from and return to our hotel, onsite arrangements - equipment handover, transport to the starting point, lunch and the rafting itself, of course. Initially, I thought that the river is quite still but the entire experience turned out extremely funny and with sufficient white-water spots to pump our adrenaline.

Excellent Quad Safari experience ! Friendly and welcoming staff. We also had 30+ pictures for a very fair price. Only little disappointment was driving speed but as a group cruise, hard to handle it differently. Definitely recommend this activity !

Amazing day out! The Jeep Safari to the canyon is a lot of fun. You can get some amazing pictures there. The rafting is really good fun and the staff were amazing.

Fantastic event. Great team, which made this trip really good fun! We loved it.
