“The Manavgat River Cruise was sailed on The Prestige with the added talents of a multi-lingual guide. The boat was really good for sunbathing on the top? or the choice of all the other floors decks? where the was sun or shade options. Lunch was delicious with Chicken or fish options leaving plenty of time for the swim breaks which were something I was looking forward to.

“De activiteit naar de waterval was prima alleen alles er omheen was veelste lang. Waardoor de activiteit veel langer duurde dan de 7 uur die doorgegeven was.

Completely unacceptable and incredibly unprofessional. I do not recommend this service to anyone who values reliability.”
