“The coordinator of this tour reached out the day before about the meeting time and location, specifying our boat will be “ibrahim naral”. When we got there we couldn’t find any boat named ibrahim naral, but eventually someone came check us off the list, and pointed out a boat for us. But it was NOT ibrahim naral, which we later found out was occupied only by another tour group. Also, in the listing it says “free bottled water included”, but when on board they told us it’s 50 lira each…..They did provide free hot tea and biscuits half way though.”
