5.00Irem and Hussein are a very good team. We felt very well accompanied and it was fun. We can also recommend the other tour from Zenofon Tours to the monastery.
Well-organized, beautiful views, a few unnecessary stops, crowded lake

4.00Zenofon Tours was very organized and communicative (both through TripAdvisor and WhatsApp), which I appreciated very much. They agreed to pick us up at our hotel which was close to downtown but not technically on their list, so I appreciated that they agreed to do that for us. They also provided water. There were only four of us on the tour, and we had a driver only, not a driver and a guide, and the driver spoke a bit of English but didn't really accompany us or explain things very much, just kind of dropped us off and expected we would know what to do. First we stopped at a tourist shop that sold knives, which would have been a waste of time in my opinion if it hadn't been for the guy playing kerence and some wonderful Turkish elder ladies who started dancing. Then we went to the tea factory which was very cool (I really like tea) but the guys at the factory don't speak English, only Turkish (and possibly Arabic?) - thankfully one of my fellow travelers knew enough Turkish and English to fill us in. The drive to Uzungol was gorgeous and the view was stunning but there wasn't really anywhere to hike. The walk around the lake takes about 30-45 mins and was PACKED full of people so it was hard to walk freely. Maybe it would be less crowded in fall or spring. The viewing platform had a nice view but I think they could cut out the stop at the "waterfall" (aka a concrete dam-like structure that was only a few meters high) and just give us more time at the lake. The stop for lunch was a beautiful restaurant by the Black Sea but it ended up being VERY late in the day (3-4PM). The restaurant was on the pricier side and had a mandatory 10% service fee, but the view was absolutely gorgeous so I forgave it. Overall we're glad we did it.
Had an amazing experience...

5.00The trip is very nice and the guide “Seyda” is super friendly and helpful. It would’ve been very useful if we were informed to bring an umbrella as it is always raining, but other than this every thing was perfect
