For a group of nine we booked Rafting+ quad buggy safari activity with this company through Halil Kaplan and Dallas Rafting. Nothing turned out as promised by the agent, the Rafting was half the length of the promised duration, as they took us for the Buggy safari half way through (it was supposed to be at the end) and once we got to the safari place they would only give us 5 buggies when we had paid for 8!! We asked the local guys to call the agent but he just ignored us and then tried to charge us extra for goggles and a bandana, again this was supposed to be included in the original cost. We refused to partake in the quad safari and just waited around in the heat for two hours for the pickup transport back. I contacted the agent he accepted the shortcomings and all he could offer was a discount if we booked another activity and refused to refund part of the cost. Not only did that spoil a valuable day of our holiday but left us with a foul mood for rest of the stay..... Avoid these guys!!
2. Pamukkale Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
Pamukkale is considered to be a real “pearl” of Turkey and is one of the most spectacular natural landscapes in the world. This special place full of mystery and romance is indeed one of the best destinations, attracting more and more tourists each year. In Turkish, its name can be translated as the “cotton castle”, which it actually is. Pamukkale is a natural site in the Menderes River valley in Denizli Province, which offers the city a mild climate throughout the year. The ancient castle built on the hill nearby is a real fortress and it is symbolic for the city. This enormous construction of 2,700 meters (8,860 feet) long, 160 meters (525 feet) high and 600 meters (1,970 feet) wide can be seen from 20 km away, in the town of Denizli, which lies on the other side of the hill. The landscape here is absolutely spectacular. In time, due to various tectonic movements, nature has created here a fascinating view, which reveals the famous limestone bathrooms.
Inclusions: Open buffet lunch is uncluded. Drinks are extra charge, Air-conditioned vehicle
Exclusions: drinks, Antique swimming pool is 8.-euro 0-6 is free 7-12 is 2 Lira , Hierapolis Museum entry is 1,30 euro cent

It's been a long time since we went on excursions, our guide from @Tourwix suggested the best places and attractions for us. We chose the Anthique City, it was very nice, especially the period of our trip was good because it wasn't that hot. Recommended in February and March. The individual transfer from the hotel and back was the best decision for this tour. Until next time.

We did the rafting trip today and had such a good day. From the beginning organising the trip via Trip Advisor was easy, we booked and paid via the app. We then received regular communication from the organiser and pick up was as advised. The rafting was longer than expected and was thoroughly enjoyed by 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Lunch at the end was good and also suited myself being a vegetarian too. Would love to do the trip again if we are ever back in Side and would recommend Alya Travel too, it was easy to book with her and well organised. This trip will be a lovely menory for us.
4. Excursion to Pamukkale Travertens & Salda Lake - Entry and Lunch Inclusive
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Worldly famous Pamukkale, also called ‘cotton castle’, is located at the southern banks of the Hierapolis Ancient City in Turkey. Since thousand of years, the water got colder and solid as it got farer from the calcareous hot water source and formed the travertine terraces in the shape of floors and steps. There is “radon gas” in Pamukkale Travertine and this gas has a relaxing effect for people. Besides being a unique natural phenomenon, Pamukkale Travertine can be used for healing purposes as hot springs.
Inclusions: Tour Guide, Air-conditioned vehicle, Travel Insurance, Lunch, Ticket to Pammukale/ Hierapolis, Dinner, Salda Lake
Exclusions: Entrance fee for Cleopatra Thermal Pools ( 50 Turkish Liras ), Any Private Expenses, Any drinks, Breakfast

Went on a private tour to Pamukkale on 16 November 2019 with Aykut as the Tour Guide. Hee was very informative in telling us on the things to see and the history behind the tourist sites being visited. Additionally, he also told us of the attractions in the other parts of Turkey since he is also a tour guide for the whole of Turkey. This prepares us very well in our next stops in Epphesus and Cappodocia. He also told us what to expect during our tour in Turkey. I would highly recommend any person who needs to tour Turkey to contact Aykut immeidately in order to have a very memorable tour which will exceed your expectations.

Thank you U can travel for this amazing day. I am single traveler and your stuff didn't make me feel that i am alone. Tazi canyon and places nearby were very beautiful and this agency helped me to see everything. Although i didn't book rafting but i was also proposed to try it so just in case take swimming suite with you even if you didn't plan to swim. Group was only 4 people and we were treated like VIP customers. Nice fresh food was also provided. I recommend ????

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.

He even organised the COVID-19 test for us. Very helpful and professional. When we will come again to Turkey we will definitely contact him. :)
