Great value great day out. - Great Value for money booked via TripAdvisor. Communications from organisers were excellent. They used WhatsApp which made things very simple. Hotel pick up was precise and on time. Waterfall Cruise and Market all excellent. Staff great. Lunch good plus drinks including alcohol were available to purchase on the cruise. Great day out we enjoyed ourselves.

Came.to 25 euros in lira that was 1000 and just went to the waterfalls you get charged on not more than you do at the waterfalls but you go as a group it's a beautiful place and then they take you.to the market bazaar which they give you a map and explain the time you will be leaving and you meet them at a cafe and u have an good time around the market lovley experiance.

River -yes. Bazars-No. - The part of the trip they were only bazaars- not nice. The river - beautiful. Some places we stopped were absolutely not necessary, eg. a jewellery shop.

Not worth it - I don't know where to start. If you want to go to the waterfall, you have to pay extra. (5€) When entering the ship, you will be advised that it is forbidden to drink your own drinks. That's bordering on rip-offs for me. The staff is also pushy and simply throws empty lighters into the river like cigarettes. The food is okay, the occupations on the peninsula are deficient. All in all, every opportunity is made to try to pull the money out of your pocket.

I would give this tour a miss! - Do you ever wish you hadn't gone on a tour!
We booked this tour through our hotel rep at TUI Blue Side.
On the way to the first market the 'tour guide' sitting at the front of the 'minibus' just in front of me was picking his face and bursting zits, most unpleasant! The first so called market we stopped at was basically the area the size of a quarter to half of a football pitch under a roof! Personally, we found it boring with lots of tat and replica goods of quality brand names.
The waterfalls were 'nice' but more akin to a weir/low-head dam back home in the UK! The second market we went to was more of a street market which was more interesting and I am pleased to say the 'sellers' were not in your face! The first 'cafe' the guide took us to was okay but nothing to write home about although we noted the same beer or other drinks were for example 2 euro cheaper in other cafes in the market place area!
The boat trip was pleasant although I thought we were going around a dock yard not cruising past it! The meal provided when we got to the destination (Sea) was what you would expect and no complaints but I would have preferred the meal to be provided after our opportunity to swim as there was no time to let the food go down before a swim afterwards. As we went back up river to our minibus, magnet ice creams were offered to us on a tray and we thought it was included as part of the tour we had paid for, there was no mention of money when we were asked if we wanted an ice cream but fifteen minutes later we were asked to pay 4 euros for each ice cream, it didn't break the bank but the way it was given as part of the tour and then asking for money afterwards was a bit misleading and cheeky!

Value for money is simply unacceptable. Not recommended. - Unfortunately, the trip was a great disappointment. We were forbidden to keep our drinks, only to be forced to buy overpriced drinks on the boat. The boat itself was in a very dirty condition and definitely not worth the price. In addition, unsolicited photos were taken of us, which we then had to buy regularly. A clear border crossing. Value for money is simply unacceptable. Not recommended.

Do not go - So where to begin we were sold tickets for a wonderful river criuse which included a stop at the waterfalls and the market to do some shopping, the day didn't start very well waiting for the last couple out of the hotel put us almost 20 minutes behind, anyway to carry on got to the boat and climbed aboard. The wind was going right through everyone on board we sat and waited and waited no one told us anything we all sat in the wind for over an hour there was no where on board to avoid the biting wind. At least 10 people got off and decided to go back to their hotels and knowing what we know now ourselves and others said that they wished they got off, Everyone was wrapped in towels that individuals brought from the hotels, So eventually we set off after they struggled to get the boat going so we cruise up for half an hour because everyone was freezing by this stage no one could take pictures as it was too cold to hold the camera. The boat was supposed to stop and we were supposed to get off for a short time, however the guide came on the tannoy and said due to the high winds we won't be getting off they turned around and headed back again slowly as the driver was struggling to keep the boat straight. Finally after what seemed like a lifetime the boat stopped for lunch which was served onboard the food was nice but could feel fingers so didn't really enjoy, we went onto the waterfalls but again freezing and finally onto the market, around 10/15 minutes had gone by and stall holders started packing up so that was a let down too. Would I recommend this trip to others never in a million years unless you want frostbite. This trip should have been cancelled by the tour guide they were all downstairs out of the wind and left everyone upstairs to freeze in the wind. If I could give this zero stars I would avoid at all cost.
