We had a wonderful day! a great experience in pamukkale with our guide. Gonca or rosita is a love of person, a being who loves his work and is very professional, his smile and his way of explaining us is unique, he makes us live the story, he is very affectionate and sincere. We also got a good price. We are leaving happy and in a next trip we will not hesitate to hire tours with you and always with Rosita as a guide. I will recommend to my friends from Colombia who are next to come. Thank you.

My fiancé and I visited Karnas Vineyards on our trip to Bodrum and would highly recommend. It’s a fair journey to get there, but the views and the quiet away from the Bodrum bustle are so worth it! The food was delicious and locally sourced, with well paired wine which was served generously. The staff were lovely, very personable and made this an experience! Top tip: Book direct with Karnas Vineyards to get a much better rate.

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.

states it was a 3 hour trip. However the trip itself latest about a hour. Then everyone sat around waiting for the bus to take back, which featured a somewhere to eat so clearly done to get some more money out. They also take pictures, which we had to pay double for as myself and my partner booked individual quads. The drive itself wasnt much of a safari, more of a trek through the woods in single file with the occasional soaking from a hose pipe or a bucket of water. Would recommend for something cheap to do as it was still still enjoyable
