If you don’t understand German, don’t bother going. You won’t be carried along and they won’t care. I’m guessing they wanted to cheap out and provided only a German guide, meanwhile tour says English and German. When I complained they said they have an English translator who was speaking German and turkish 95% of the time.

The view was amazing, the food was very nice. The service and tour guides were amazing, Ibrahim was very informative as well as friendly. The village was beautiful, and the locals were friendly. Would definitely recommend. I would recommend for families with children as well, there were some on our groups and they seemed to enjoy themselves as well.

A very informative tour; the guide 'Johnny' was very knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining everything in multiple languages. Mete has been in contact before and after the trip to ensure everything has been clear and straightforward before the tour and that we were happy afterwards - I'd happily recommend to anyone visiting the area!
