Truly a soul-cleansing day by Sapanca Lake. Our guide Serkan shared local stories, took us on a serene village walk in Masukiye, and led us to a hidden waterfall in Mahmudiye. The cable car ride gave sweeping views of the lake, and lunch by the river under the trees was simply delicious.
A wonderful nature escape! Guide Elif navigated us through Maşukiye’s forest paths to a stunning waterfall, then organized a scenic lunch beside the stream. The tranquil atmosphere at Sapanca Lake later in the afternoon was a highlight.
This tour was a refreshing break from city life. Guide Selin ensured we had enough time to enjoy paddle boats on Sapanca Lake, then led us on a peaceful walk through Masukiye to the waterfall. The local-style lunch was one of the best parts.
Great day trip! Guide Derya kept everything on schedule and offered clear explanations at each stop: from the lakeside walk, Turkish delights factory, to lunch by the waterfall. The optional ATV was thrilling too!
Exploring outside the typical tourist paths made this tour feel authentic and personal. Sibel Aydın made sure no one felt left out, adapting the pace and activities to suit the whole group. For anyone seeking a break from city tours, this is the escape you’ve been looking for.
Our guide Mert was excellent—not pushy about extra activities, just helpful. We strolled along the lakeside promenade at Sapanca, took the cable car up Kartepe, and enjoyed free time for paddle boats. The food was hearty and fresh.
Loved the ATV detour in Masukiye and the quaint riverside lunch in Mahmudiye. Our guide Aylin was super warm and pointed out bird species we never would’ve noticed. A perfect blend of adventure and relaxation!
Friendly, well‑paced tour with guide Emre who pointed out local flora and fauna along village paths. The cable car ride offered amazing vistas over Sapanca, while lunch at the riverbank made for a tranquil mid‑day break.
From the first stop, it was clear this wasn’t an ordinary sightseeing trip. Conversations with Merve Çelik revealed a deep love for the region and its traditions. She Tours crafted an experience that felt personal, thoughtful, and completely worthwhile.
Our guide Yusuf was super professional—he arranged for us to visit the local zoo in summer and explained the history of Mahmudiye village. Cable car views were breathtaking, and the riverside restaurant served a delicious mixed‑grill lunch that refreshed us for the journey back.
