Great excursion - A very nice trip. The Altinbesik cave alone is certainly not the most spectacular hotspot but still worth seeing. The trail was the destination and our guide Ümit shortened the trip with a lot of information about land, culture and vegetation. Even a bay branch found its way onto the bus, thanks to our driver Ali. Two visits to locals in your villages were pleasantly untouristic. Lunch was very tasty and did not make me miss my all inclusive. At this point a thank you to About our guide and Ali our driver.

A perfect day - Beautiful places to visit, a professional guide taking good care of everyone and giving interesting information about the locations and history, tasty food and new friends. I only wish it would have lasted longer. I can highly recommend this tour!

Recommend - Our favourite part was Ormana village. The locals are very welcoming, and the village is authentic with a great vibe. We would have stayed there for at least a day :) you can tell that it is real and not the marketing they show tourists at the beach. The cave was very interesting, I have always seen these pictures about caves with lake inside and now I got to really be in one of them. Perfect day.

Cave and mountain trip - Very friendly and informative tour guide who made the trip really interesting. Several stops for photos and breaks. Magnificent mountain scenery, short boat ride in the cave (which was nice and cool) and nice meal which was included. Only negative would be the knee space in the coach/ mini van for taller people. Would definitely recommend.

Spectacular cave visit and Taurus mountain tour - The tour began with a 8.45 minibus pick up from our hotel with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. My daughter and I were the only English people (there was also one Slovak) so the guide skilfully provided all info in German and in English. We stopped at a Manavgat service station to use the loos (there are few toilets in the mountains!) and got on the road out of the city. The guide told us all about the agriculture and wildlife in the region. The driver navigated us carefully around very steep roads and hairpin bends, even stopping to remove a baby tortoise from the road at one point. There were a few welcome stops for leg-stretches and photo-taking in the mountains on the long way to the cave. Once there, we donned hard hats and were taken around the illuminated underground lake on an inflatable dinghy, ten at a time, by a cheerful oarsman. The cave lake is truly unique: spectacular and unforgettable. We then travelled to Ormana village for an excellent buffet lunch, included in the price, which was fresh and delicious. The lunch place had a brilliant view - we bought ice creams and sat in the swing in their garden, then looked around the tiny village with its beautiful unique historic architecture (button houses). Our final stop was another village with a fascinating historic disused wooden mosque and abandoned school (there is now only one child in the village). We took tea there, served by the child’s family, who also have a small shop selling local herbs, oils, honey and trinkets and a small display of historic domestic items. The journey home was a speedy motorway route. The whole tour was 8 hours and great value for money. There was a great atmosphere throughout, thanks to our guide and driver. We saw a very different side to the region than we saw in the towns / hotel areas. Highly recommended tour! We learned a lot and we saw a lot of nature and history and we had a lot of fun. Thank you!

Fantastic tour with lots of interesting facts about the flora and the Taurus mountains - We made a trip to the Taunus Mountains to Green Canyon three days earlier and found it okay. It was run by a large three-letter tour operator, but it was already a mass event where you were dragged from one bazaar to the next. This tour is very different, we were only 16 people, we as the only family with a small child (7). For families the tour can be quite suitable if the children have the necessary staying power, our son is used to it and found the day very interesting. The highlight was of course the cave, but our goat faruk told us a lot about medicinal herbs from the region, which we all tasted. We found it very exciting and great that you had the feeling that everyone was being addressed. Lunch was also very delicious and you had a fantastic view. Highly recommended!

Beautiful (long) tour through taurus mountains with unique visits - Nice excursion with visit to old village and caves. It's a lot of driving but this allows you to see a lot of the area. Tour guide knew a lot about what made the ride fun. The locations are very touristy and busy. The boat trip through the cave is definitely fun. All in all advisable excursion but the indicated duration of 6 hours is very short. We were gone for 8 hours in total, nice to know if you want to plan something in the evening.

Highly recommended - Pick up was on time and the trip took place in a small group of 16 people. The German speaking tour guide Ümit was very friendly and provided us with a lot of information during the trip. Didn't talk too much either. The bus driver drove us well and above all safely. Lunch was very good, restaurant clean. Overall, a little too much or too long smoking breaks were taken in places where there was not much for non-smokers to do or see. The tour lasted 8 hours and could have been reduced to 7 hours. You have to be aware that the trip to the Taurus Mountains takes a while and you therefore spend a lot of time on the bus. On the whole, we liked the tour well and is highly recommended for the price.

Recommended excursion - It was a great trip. Ümit told us a lot about the country and people and also showed us. Villages, schools, a mosque, mountains, goats, houses, everything was there. The view was beautiful and showed us Turkey far away from mass tourism. Pure deceleration. Unfortunately, you can't linger too long in the cave, as there were a few groups here who had the same plan.

Lovely mountains - The trip begins with a pick up by the tour guides, at your selected location. This was swift and on time, the driver came out to greet us and check if we were coming along. The tour guide then explained the itinerary, and briefly mentioned that the lake/boat/ cave part of the trip is closed. We then continued with the trip up to the taurus mountain. It would have been useful to know beforehand how to dress appropriately for the occasion, as myself and my family dressed in preparation for a boat trip, and ended up quite cold in the top of the mountain, however the views were absolutely spectacular. The tour guide explained the history of the different parts of the mountain and kept us all well informed of what was coming up. The guide spoke in German and English throughout. We enjoyed a very delicious lunch at a turkish restaurant, however it would be nice to have a wider selection of meals rather than just chicken or kebabs. To end the trip we headed to a small village where we explored an old school, mosque and visited a family running a business in their home. We enjoyed a free tea and the family were very nice hosts! Overall, the trip ended up being pleasantly enjoyable but it was disappointing that the main attraction was cancelled without notice.
