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.

Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy this boat to the fullest due to Covid restrictions and some things not being allowed, such as the foam party. This was part of the reason we booked it for my son - however there wasn't really much children's entertainment either so that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the staff were friendly enough and still had good banter with the kids, especially Jack Sparrow and the guy who was doing the photography. The photos were nice but I think a tad over priced for me personally. But it was a nice momento for my son as it was his first time in Turkey and also out on boats at sea and swimming in the sea. The staff were very encouraging and helped get him in to the way as he was a bit apprehensive about it. We also enjoyed a short shopping trip at a small village, and lunch was lovely.
