One of my worst tours ever with vaitor, delayed the tour for 2 hours, paid triple the price on viator and at the end they took us with a local group who paid quarter our price, the organizers were so chaotic and not organized or planned. They used an old bus which wasn’t comfortable at all.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the Sapanca Lake and Masukiye Tour did not fully meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few important points regarding the situation on the day of the tour. The delay was caused by an unexpected technical issue with the original vehicle assigned to the tour. For safety reasons, we immediately arranged a replacement vehicle and dispatched another car as quickly as possible. All guests were informed about the situation , as guest safety and operational reliability are always our priority. Regarding the pricing difference, tours booked through international platforms such as Viator may appear more expensive due to platform commissions, taxes, customer service fees, and booking protections that are included in the final price. This does not reflect a difference in the actual tour experience itself. We would also like to clarify that this is a shared group tour, and combining guests from different booking channels is standard practice for this type of experience. While we understand that the delay affected your impression of the day, we do feel the circumstances were handled responsibly and transparently by our team under an unexpected technical situation. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind Regards 🧿Tourmania Team
Nice places to visit. Trip was very poorly organized. Took more than 2 hours to collect passengers. Food was absolutely terrible. They chose this shady place for lunch when there were so many good places. I guess they had a deal with the place that had terrible food and no choices. Better to just ask us to pay for our own food.
hank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear that the organization and lunch did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the pickup timing and meal quality, and we'll review these aspects carefully to improve our service. Your experience matters to us, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Overall nice places to visit. Trip and pickup were not well organized. Pickup took 2 hours before the actual trip started. This could have been arranged better. Food was terrible. There were so many good restaurants but they chose a shady place that had terrible food and terrible service. I guess they had a deal with the place which was absolutely ridiculous. They could have charged a little more or made us pay for our own food.

I booked this with Tripadvisor whilst staying at Milord Hotel in Turkey as a solo adventure and it was the best thing ever!!! Everything went smooth, booked it online and then tour operator Mete got back to me on whatsaap very quick to confirm details and pick up from my hotel in the morning even though traffic can be a bit of a nightmare they still picked me up from a very narrow street! Mahmut the guide who can speak english and arabic was brilliant l, honestly well done to you!!! And thank you for an amazing experience I hope they value you and pay u well enough because u give people amazing experience and patience! I will definitely recommend this to friends and family, cheers guys 🙏
A great trip to explore outside Istanbul. Sapance lake is very beautiful and there are many to explore. One day is not enough but the guide managed to cramp everything in a day.
I advice to take this tour for nature lovers. A day outside a city rush. We visited a fantastic aquarium with a chance to visit lions park as well. Offered some activities in nature (optional). Glass terrace is fantastic. Picked up from the hotel on time and took us back. Wonderful views - mountains, lake, waterfall. Tasty lunch in beautiful place and great turkish music in bus. Guide is cool. Very, very nice !
The trip was perfect thanks Giray for your follow up & deduction The tour guide & the driver were very helpful
Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Yours sincerely ; Murat.
