We - a family of 4 with another family of 4, went rafting with Seven Tours in Köprülü Kanyon in Turkey. Our host was simply great - very responsive and very helpful. Everything was organized very well, too - pick-up from and return to our hotel, onsite arrangements - equipment handover, transport to the starting point, lunch and the rafting itself, of course. Initially, I thought that the river is quite still but the entire experience turned out extremely funny and with sufficient white-water spots to pump our adrenaline.

At the beginning we were led into a room with salt and from there into the sauna. After about 15 minutes we were taken to the hammam. The peeling was very pleasant and the foam massage that followed was very relaxing. In the short break before the massage there was tea and the mask. The transfer went smoothly.

Nothing to say, the activity was perfect and the guides were on top. If you want to go buggy or quad in Antalya, don't hesitate for a second to go to them. They even take pictures that you can buy at the end, which are of very good quality. Very good memories, I recommend!

Excellent Quad Safari experience ! Friendly and welcoming staff. We also had 30+ pictures for a very fair price. Only little disappointment was driving speed but as a group cruise, hard to handle it differently. Definitely recommend this activity !

Amazing day out! The Jeep Safari to the canyon is a lot of fun. You can get some amazing pictures there. The rafting is really good fun and the staff were amazing.
