A BBQ dinner, soft drinks, guide, hotel pickup, and optional cable-car ride are included, depending on the package you select.

“The jeep was anything but roadworthy. The seats were also very cramped. The driver had real problems driving up the steep mountain to the lookout point. The guide only spoke English and Turkish. Here too, the description stated that there would be a German-speaking guide. Very disappointing, as we did not understand the explanations. 1. Lookout point in the Taurus Mountains with a stop of around 25 minutes. Down into the town to the cable car, which takes you up the mountain. Over 300 steps you get to the lookout point on the castle for the famous sunset. This was so crowded that we did not really enjoy it. There…”

Spend 3.5 hours riding an ATV through Cappadocia’s Rose, Love, and Red Valleys. Your English-speaking guide leads the route, with hotel pickup, helmets, a Turkish sucuk meal, and one soft drink included. Bring sunglasses and expect plenty of dust.

“Terrible and horrific experience. Its supposed to be a ATV ride where the guide explains you the place. Our guide didi not know english and was not even able to name the locations. Lack of interest in showing anything. The company did'nt even give any security briefing on how to ride an ATV. All he did was start the vehicle and expected me drive away into the wild with no instructions. The horn didnt work, the brake was hardly working. Left to understand how to ride the bike myself, i crashed and got injured on a slope. Ultimately had to be taken to the hospital with severe injuries.”
