“Schöne Tour durch das Taurusgebirge mit einem Halt in einer alten Schule, Dorfmoschee und einem Wohnhaus, wo einem Tee offeriert wird. Sehr kurze Schlauchbootfahrt durch eine überflutete Höhle.

No idea what the starters were, the main was pasta chicken & mushrooms & then a sweet dessert. You only pay for drinks. Ibrahim was knowledgeable, dry humour, kind, smart. More importantly, genuine. You didn't feel like you…”
Review of the Side to Sapadere Canyon tour with lunch, cave visit, hotel pickup, waterfalls, minibus transport, price, and practical tips.
“The tour itself was great and the canyon was beautiful. Lunch was tasty and at a really lovely location. The guide however was non-existent! He gave no information at any of our stops and nothing was said about the tour itinerary - he might as well not even been there. We used the same company for a different tour and the guide was a lot better so maybe it depends on the trip.”
