    Was as stated.

    The tour itself was good. Can be recommended.🫶 You need sensible footwear, otherwise you have to buy shoes for 10 euros.

    Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihre positive Bewertung! 😊🫶 Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour gefallen hat und Sie unser Erlebnis weiterempfehlen können. Vielen Dank auch für den Hinweis zu den Schuhen. Da die Strecke durch staubiges und teilweise unebenes Gelände führt, empfehlen wir unseren Gästen festes und geeignetes Schuhwerk. So ist die Fahrt angenehmer und sicherer. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei Ihrem nächsten Urlaub wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!

    Disappointing tour – insults, threats, and treated unfairly

    Unfortunately, I can only agree with the bad reviews. Absolutely disappointing experience! We were insulted by employees in Turkish because they apparently did not expect that I understand Turkish. We were told, among other things, to "piss off," walk back, and that we would not get a refund. The boss was also disrespectful toward us and threatened us with alleged camera footage. Other participants stopped or drove in a zigzag without consequences – we, on the other hand, were moved to the back and told to drive extra slowly. In addition, there were buggies with barely any tire tread, of which we have photos, and a significantly shorter tour than advertised: Instead of 90 minutes of driving time, we had a maximum of approx. 66 minutes. They also initially did not want to give us a receipt – only after we mentioned the police did we get it. We have been on such tours before, but we have never been treated so disrespectfully and unfairly. Unfortunately, absolutely not recommended.

    Response from the operator: Es tut uns leid, dass Sie mit Ihrer Erfahrung unzufrieden waren. Allerdings möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass wichtige Teile des tatsächlichen Vorfalls in Ihrer Bewertung unvollständig und in mehreren Punkten irreführend dargestellt werden. Bei dieser Aktivität handelt es sich um eine Quad-Safari und nicht um eine Renn-, Drift- oder Freifahrveranstaltung. Wie aus Ihrer eigenen Bewertung hervorgeht, kam es während der Tour zu Fahrmanövern, die gegen die geltenden Sicherheitsregeln verstießen. Trotz mehrfacher Sicherheitshinweise wurden weiterhin gefährliche Fahrmanöver durchgeführt. Um die Sicherheit aller 73 Teilnehmer zu gewährleisten, musste unser Team daher eingreifen. Aus diesem Grund wurden Sie nicht von der Tour ausgeschlossen. Damit Ihre Teilnahme und der von Ihnen bezahlte Betrag nicht vollständig verloren gehen, wurde Ihnen ermöglicht, die Tour unter sicheren Bedingungen am Ende der Gruppe und unter Aufsicht unseres Personals fortzusetzen. Dass Sie „nach hinten versetzt“ wurden und langsamer fahren sollten, war keine Bestrafung und keine ungerechtfertigte Behandlung, sondern eine notwendige Sicherheitsmaßnahme. Nach der Tour haben Sie eine Rückerstattung beantragt. Da die Sicherheitsregeln durch den Gast selbst wiederholt verletzt wurden und Ihnen dennoch die Fortsetzung der Tour ermöglicht wurde, konnte Ihrem Rückerstattungsantrag nicht entsprochen werden. Umso bedauerlicher finden wir es, dass anschließend schwere Vorwürfe erhoben wurden, wonach unsere Mitarbeiter Sie beleidigt oder beschimpft hätten. Unsere Überprüfung hat keine Grundlage für die Behauptung ergeben, dass Mitarbeiter Ihnen gesagt hätten, Sie sollten sich „verpissen“, zu Fuß zurückgehen oder andere in Ihrer Bewertung genannte beleidigende Aussagen gemacht hätten. Der betreffende Vorfall und die relevanten Aufzeichnungen sind vorhanden und können bei Bedarf von den zuständigen Stellen und der entsprechenden Plattform überprüft werden. Auch Ihre Behauptung, unsere Mitarbeiter hätten nicht gewusst, dass Sie Türkisch verstehen, können wir anhand der dokumentierten Kommunikation nicht nachvollziehen. Bereits bei unserem ersten Kontakt haben Sie selbst auf Türkisch mit uns kommuniziert, woraufhin die weitere Kommunikation ebenfalls auf Türkisch geführt wurde. Die Behauptung, unser Team habe nicht gewusst, dass Sie Türkisch verstehen, steht daher im Widerspruch zur dokumentierten Kommunikation. Wir nehmen die Zufriedenheit unserer Gäste und konstruktive Kritik sehr ernst. Die Sicherheit aller Teilnehmer und unserer Mitarbeiter hat jedoch immer oberste Priorität. Wenn Sicherheitsregeln missachtet werden, sind wir verpflichtet, geeignete Maßnahmen zu ergreifen – unabhängig davon, ob dies zu Unzufriedenheit oder späteren Rückerstattungsforderungen führt. Wir behandeln alle unsere Gäste mit Respekt und Fairness. Die Darstellung schwerwiegender und nicht belegter Beleidigungsvorwürfe sowie Aussagen, die im Widerspruch zu den dokumentierten Umständen stehen, entspricht aus unserer Sicht nicht dem tatsächlichen Ablauf und wird von uns nicht akzeptiert.

    Great fun at our “family-tour” this afternoon. A little dirty afterwards, but more much fun 🤩

    Such a beautiful blast!! 💥

    The experience was absolutely ace!! I booked it as a birthday present for my brother and we loooved it! The track is out in the mountains and the views are phenomenal! The staff were great, super vigilant - and for the price, there’s just no reason for you to not give this a go! We hired the individual buggies and we didn’t regret it! We had about a hour and half of driving, one pitstop somewhere in the middle of that, and our only wish was maybe we could have rode for longer - but that’s just because it was so much fuuun! Thank you for a great time 🥰🙏🏽✨

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! 😊 We’re truly happy to hear that you and your brother had such a fun and memorable experience with the buggy safari. The mountain views, off-road tracks, and adrenaline make it a really special adventure, and it means a lot to know you enjoyed every moment of it! We’ll also pass your kind words on to our team — they’ll be very happy to hear it. Hopefully next time we can make the ride even longer for you 😄 Thank you again for choosing us for such a special birthday gift and we hope to see you again on another adventure! 🥰🙏🏽✨

    Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Side.

    How much does Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Side usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Side is not rushed.

    Is Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Side, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Side can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Side and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Side within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Side?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Side experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya Quad, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour w/Lunch & Transfer, Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch, Jeep Safari Adventure around Green Canyon with Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Side?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Side?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Side Quad or Buggy Safari Adventure with Hotel Transfer?
