Worst experience ever !!!

Mohamed_E, Jul 2021

The place is good but very bad service and guidance we felt we gonna be lost with no information about the trip..no horse carriage as advertised. Bottom line its just money wasting !!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Dear Muhammad, Thank you for your comment..Unfortunately there is no chance of you getting lost on the island..if you had just listened more carefully to your tour guide, you would have understood the meeting place and time..because in this daily tour, all guests arrive at the meeting point on time..I agree with your complaint about the horse carriage..What Unfortunately, the Istanbul administration removed the phaetons and integrated golf carts instead. However, the number of these vehicles is low and cannot keep up with the demand. We receive a lot of complaints about this.. Even though we have sent our complaints to the necessary places, it has still not been resolved.. Although this inconvenience was not caused by us, we apologize to you. Thank you.. Mr Turan
