We had a great day with Orange Tours.
Our guide Ahmet was a funny and nice guy.
Telling very interesting stories about Turkey. History, way of living, fruits, the environment.
The boat tour was very nice, the stop to eat a small Turkish pancake was great.

Our pick up arrived on time at our hotel and we were greeted by a friendly guide. All through our trip she gave us information and let us know how much time we had at each stop. Lunch was included and very good.
All in all we had an enjoyable day and the trip was definitely value for money

Great value trip. I was the only English speaking person on the bus, which the tour guides were not expecting. The lady guide went out of her way to make sure I was just as informed as everyone else on the bus. I particularly enjoyed the falls, the ruins and the swin in the green lake. Sunnier skies would have made the trip even better but can’t control the weather.

Lots of fun with discovering Turkey Manavgat area. Bubbles were fun and honking at Green Canyon Tunnel part was funny.

We enjoyed the scenic ride on the bus and boat. However whilst the Turkish and German guides were well detailed, the English guides barely lasted seconds and was difficult to understand. Lunch was at 3 Euro person even though it was said to be included which created an unpleasant situation as they did not inform this until everyone finished eating. Waterfall viewing costed 1 Euro per person. Would have appreciated a cleaner bus as the interior was extremely dusty. There is room for improvement however it was a day well spent.

I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Ich habe nicht das Bewerbungsbilder gesehen - nicht da gewesen und auf kein Katamaran. Diesen Ausflug empfehle ich überhaupt nicht - hatte mein Geld und Zeit verloren. Ich habe auch den Reiseveranstalter mitgeteilt.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Sehr geehrter Gast,
vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihre Erfahrung mit uns zu teilen. Es tut uns sehr leid zu hören, dass der Ausflug nicht dem entsprochen hat, was in der Beschreibung dargestellt war, und dass Sie weder die beworbenen Programmpunkte noch das erwartete Bootserlebnis genießen konnten.
Wir verstehen sehr gut, wie enttäuschend es ist, wenn man Zeit und Geld investiert und die Realität dann deutlich von den Erwartungen abweicht. Dafür möchten wir uns aufrichtig bei Ihnen entschuldigen. Ihr Feedback nehmen wir sehr ernst, da es uns hilft, Unstimmigkeiten zwischen Beschreibung und tatsächlichem Ablauf zu erkennen und Verbesserungen vorzunehmen.
Bitte seien Sie versichert, dass wir Ihre Rückmeldung intern weitergegeben haben, um die Organisation, Kommunikation und Transparenz dieses Ausflugs zu überprüfen. Unser Ziel ist es, unseren Gästen verlässliche und ehrliche Erlebnisse zu bieten, und es tut uns leid, dass uns dies in Ihrem Fall nicht gelungen ist.
Vielen Dank nochmals für Ihre Offenheit. Wir bedauern sehr, dass wir Sie enttäuscht haben, und hoffen, dass Sie Ihre Zeit in der Region dennoch in positiver Erinnerung behalten konnten.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Tourmania Team

Der Reiseführer war der Knaller super freundlich super nett super hilfsbereit hat alles sehr ordentlich erklärt in Englisch und in Deutsch. Auch die Reise war sehr interessant mit allen Erklärungen über die Türkei. Ein Punkt Abzug haben wir gegeben, da das Mittagessen sehr wenig und nicht besonders gut war. Alle Getränke mussten selbst bezahlt werden, auch das Getränk zum Mittagessen. Die Tour war sehr schön.
Nebenbei möchte ich noch bemerken. Wir sind etwas pingelig, was Essen betrifft. 😏
Response from Host, Mar 2025
We are thrilled to have you as part of the Tourmania family! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us. It means the world to us and to our entire team! We look forward to serving you again soon!

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Tag mit unserem Reiseleiter Achmed.
Alle Programmpunkte wurden nacheinander angefahren. Wir saßen nie länger als 30 Minuten am Stück im Bus, da die Stopps gut über den Tag verteilt waren.
Unser Reiseleiter hat viel erklärt. Sehr interessante und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt hier.
