We did the rafting trip today and had such a good day. From the beginning organising the trip via Trip Advisor was easy, we booked and paid via the app. We then received regular communication from the organiser and pick up was as advised. The rafting was longer than expected and was thoroughly enjoyed by 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Lunch at the end was good and also suited myself being a vegetarian too. Would love to do the trip again if we are ever back in Side and would recommend Alya Travel too, it was easy to book with her and well organised. This trip will be a lovely menory for us.

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.
