Excellent. Communication about the pickup was clear and helpful. Our guide was great and the lunch was better than expected. I really enjoyed the fish tea. There was plenty of birdlife to see and I appreciated the effort made to help us spot turtles. The lake was stunning and the beach was beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour.

Right from the beginning Dimitri made the experience unforgettable. He was thoughtful shared useful information and added humorous stories that made each stop more enjoyable. He encouraged everyone to take part in all the activities no matter how unusual they seemed. We started with the mud baths and thermal springs which was certainly a unique experience. Then we had lunch which went smoothly and was very nice. Afterward we took a boat to Turtle Beach where Dimitri ensured that everyone managed to spot at least one turtle before we left. He went beyond expectations and truly made the day special. Thanks to everyone involved including the boat crew the driver and especially Dimitri.

This was honestly one of the best experiences I have had. The scenery was stunning and felt like a Turkish version of Thailand. I completely recommend this tour if you are looking for a calm and relaxing day. The food was very tasty. The guide had a great sense of humor and the staff were kind and helpful. If you are lucky you might even see a turtle. Thanks to Acelya for organizing everything so well.

This tour offered excellent value and included a lot of activities. The mud baths and natural thermal pool were unique experiences. We then got to see turtles and had free time to enjoy Turtle Beach with views of ancient ruins along the route. Acelya was very helpful in keeping us informed about our pick up time and made sure everything went smoothly. We would definitely choose this trip again.
