Recommend - Our favourite part was Ormana village. The locals are very welcoming, and the village is authentic with a great vibe. We would have stayed there for at least a day :) you can tell that it is real and not the marketing they show tourists at the beach. The cave was very interesting, I have always seen these pictures about caves with lake inside and now I got to really be in one of them. Perfect day.

Cave and mountain trip - Very friendly and informative tour guide who made the trip really interesting. Several stops for photos and breaks. Magnificent mountain scenery, short boat ride in the cave (which was nice and cool) and nice meal which was included. Only negative would be the knee space in the coach/ mini van for taller people. Would definitely recommend.

Spectacular cave visit and Taurus mountain tour - The tour began with a 8.45 minibus pick up from our hotel with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. My daughter and I were the only English people (there was also one Slovak) so the guide skilfully provided all info in German and in English. We stopped at a Manavgat service station to use the loos (there are few toilets in the mountains!) and got on the road out of the city. The guide told us all about the agriculture and wildlife in the region. The driver navigated us carefully around very steep roads and hairpin bends, even stopping to remove a baby tortoise from the road at one point. There were a few welcome stops for leg-stretches and photo-taking in the mountains on the long way to the cave. Once there, we donned hard hats and were taken around the illuminated underground lake on an inflatable dinghy, ten at a time, by a cheerful oarsman. The cave lake is truly unique: spectacular and unforgettable. We then travelled to Ormana village for an excellent buffet lunch, included in the price, which was fresh and delicious. The lunch place had a brilliant view - we bought ice creams and sat in the swing in their garden, then looked around the tiny village with its beautiful unique historic architecture (button houses). Our final stop was another village with a fascinating historic disused wooden mosque and abandoned school (there is now only one child in the village). We took tea there, served by the child’s family, who also have a small shop selling local herbs, oils, honey and trinkets and a small display of historic domestic items. The journey home was a speedy motorway route. The whole tour was 8 hours and great value for money. There was a great atmosphere throughout, thanks to our guide and driver. We saw a very different side to the region than we saw in the towns / hotel areas. Highly recommended tour! We learned a lot and we saw a lot of nature and history and we had a lot of fun. Thank you!

Fantastic tour with lots of interesting facts about the flora and the Taurus mountains - We made a trip to the Taunus Mountains to Green Canyon three days earlier and found it okay. It was run by a large three-letter tour operator, but it was already a mass event where you were dragged from one bazaar to the next. This tour is very different, we were only 16 people, we as the only family with a small child (7). For families the tour can be quite suitable if the children have the necessary staying power, our son is used to it and found the day very interesting. The highlight was of course the cave, but our goat faruk told us a lot about medicinal herbs from the region, which we all tasted. We found it very exciting and great that you had the feeling that everyone was being addressed. Lunch was also very delicious and you had a fantastic view. Highly recommended!

Wonderful excursion - If you want to admire the landscape and a charming cave, this excursion is just the thing. It was very nice , great travel companion Language German, English

Amazing! - Amazing trip! Good guides with a lot of knowledge. Took ekstra time to visit a local family and show us a local school and mosque

Canny excursion:) - My partner and I had a great time. Umit the tour guide with very funny and knowledgeable. He translated the entire journey between English and German. Got a lot of great photos and really enjoyed the meal. There was a selection of food to choose from. The drinks however weren’t included and ranged from 1€ to about 5€. The driver didn’t speak any English and was referred to as ‘Turkish Schumacher’ 😂 id definitely recommend if you like learning a little about the area and the cave was just beautiful. Might be a bit boring for kids though.

Highly recommended - Pick up was on time and the trip took place in a small group of 16 people. The German speaking tour guide Ümit was very friendly and provided us with a lot of information during the trip. Didn't talk too much either. The bus driver drove us well and above all safely. Lunch was very good, restaurant clean. Overall, a little too much or too long smoking breaks were taken in places where there was not much for non-smokers to do or see. The tour lasted 8 hours and could have been reduced to 7 hours. You have to be aware that the trip to the Taurus Mountains takes a while and you therefore spend a lot of time on the bus. On the whole, we liked the tour well and is highly recommended for the price.

Recommended excursion - It was a great trip. Ümit told us a lot about the country and people and also showed us. Villages, schools, a mosque, mountains, goats, houses, everything was there. The view was beautiful and showed us Turkey far away from mass tourism. Pure deceleration. Unfortunately, you can't linger too long in the cave, as there were a few groups here who had the same plan.

Not value for money - The day trip started out a little weird. We were picked up by a small van from our hotel and we stopped at another hotel. We wanted to get out, but we had to stay put. The driver did not speak English and could not tell us what was intended. With google translate we understood that we had to wait for another bus. On the other bus were all Germans and we had explicitly asked for an English guide. The guide couldn't speak English and I didn't think it was possible, after all we had asked for it. She told us some information about Manavgat and made jokes that everyone could laugh at, except us because we didn't understand anything. We made a stop at the gas station, where other vans from this organization also gathered for the same trip. They looked into putting us on another bus, but there was no place. We were very upset and the photographer said he would translate for us. Because he knew a little English. I explained to them that it wasn't fair that you're served something and you don't get it, but you get paid for it. We would have preferred to go back to the hotel, but we were already quite far. It was a reasonable day, not wow and was disappointing. The bus was too full. At the time of booking it said that there would be a maximum of 25 people. There were 38 men on the bus. We had chosen an English guide but she spoke German. The trip in the cave with a rubber boat would take 30 minutes, but this was at most 5 minutes. Lunch was cold food and wasps everywhere. One had gone into the juice of orange and we asked for a new one, we just had to pay extra for this. What hospitality. The pity is that many Turks do not speak English here but German, but then they do not have to offer an English guide. We did the trip but it was definitely not worth the money. If they had asked for €20 it would be good, There is more being asked than you get, very unfortunate. Hope they do something with this, because we feel turned off.
