Don't trust this agency, it's a scam.

This experience ended up with me taking a taxi to return home after 40 minutes the tour started... They picked me up late, the guide started explaining completely different places and activities to do such as visiting other points and going through safaris I didn't sign up for. I asked the guide about my tour and showed my phone with the itinerary, he simply said that my tour was NEXT DAY. I called the agency immediately, passed the phone over to the tour guide and suddenly, with a nervous tone, the man changed his mind. The whole situation was so suspicious that I requested them to refund my money and to return me to the hotel. And indeed, they didn't hesitate to stop the bus, leave me in the middle of nowhere to my luck (that's the attached Pic). After several calls begging to take me back to the hotel because they put me in the wrong bus, all they said was "it was your fault" it can't be my fault because they called me and picked me up. I ended up taking a taxi to return (of course I paid for it), took a train, ferry and bus and got back to the hotel after three hours. I never got refunded and of course never trusting these tours again. A horrible and traumatizing experience that no Traveler should ever live :( it was a scam.

I really don't understand what your problem is. What will you gain by writing bad comments on different emails? this and similar tours are made every day without interruption. I've told you over and over that this is the right car. Our tour guide told you this is the right car. You approved and thanked me. I shared the screenshot of this conversation with customer service. Do not worry! After a short while you insisted that it was the wrong car. as if you are organizing this tour for us. :) ATV safari and Zip line are some activities in Sapanca. These are already not included in our tour. Our tour guide gives this information to the guests before the tour starts. There is a certain period of time when the guests are free in Sapanca. on this time, guests who want to pay in Sapanca can participate in these activities or shop. or they can just enjoy the view. Also, I'm sorry, we can't make 20-30 people suffer because of you. You wanted to get out of the vehicle and you did. While I was telling you the details in our phone conversations with you, you hung up on me 3 times. so don't talk about rudeness.
