The best day for the whole family was the tubing and gorge walk especially the mud bath, great fun. This was the physically demanding day and the whole group laughed from beginning to end.

There wasn't really an activity that we didn't enjoy, the sea Kayaking was demanding and the hike took 2 hours longer than most other groups take to do it. We were very lucky with the other families we were with as we all got on and helped each other through the activities.

Karen and Mike were fantastic; they went that extra mile to ensure that the holiday ran smoothly. The guides were also fantastic, we mainly had one guide called Tim he was brilliant with the kids, the children will have some wonderful memories of the whole trip but especially of Tim.

The group mountain-biking was great - fresh air, lovely scenery, good physical exercise and fresh air. Also, on our second "extra" week, when my son and I wanted to visit an inland mountain village, see some village and mountain sights and do some climbing, there was no other interest from colleagues in accompanying my son and me for a group trip. So Mike and Karen, your local reps, planned a tailor-made day out for us. Nothing was too much trouble for them in arranging our travel, drawing a little map, advising things to do, see, wear, and eat; we had an amazing day out exploring the mountains, lake, water-falls, stream sources, pastures, picnicking and meeting local mountain people.

All local reps and tour guides were brilliant: patient, knowledgeable, good-natured and inclusive.

As I'd read on Trip Adviser, the hotel rooms were a little tired and small. Having said that, the air con worked the shower was good, the staff were friendly and helpful and the public areas of the hotel were lovely, including the pool. Your local reps, Karen and Mike were great hosts - knowledgeable, helpful and always around when you needed them! All the guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and fun.

My kids (girls, 17, 15, 11) would probably say the last day - tubing and gorge walk (the description "gorge walk" makes this activity sound tame - it was anything but!).

It was brilliant!

We had a fantastic time in Turkey. The age mix was just right with older and younger teenagers so everyone could find a companion. The activities were just right for the temperature with lots of breaks and opportunities for drinks. Kas was a lovely bustling town with lots going on in the evening. We enjoyed everything and had no favourite activities.

Our holiday in turkey was superb. We all had different favourite (activities) but for me the best day was the mountain biking. I will never forget cycling out of the woodland down into a beautiful mountain pasture and seeing an enormous eagle circling overhead; it took my breath away. Nor will I forget nearly coming off my bike as I swerved to avoid a tortoise on the path! And it goes without saying that the downhill run to the end was awesome. (I think there should be an option to load all the bikes up and go to the top to do it again!) My kids loved the canyoning day; especially as for probably the first time ever they were told firstly to roll around in a mud bath, and then later that it was ok to fall in the stream and get wet! One of the highlights though for all of us was the lunch on the walk at the village house. We all felt privileged to be invited into the lady's home; she could not have been more welcoming and the food, though simple, was delicious.

Karen, Mike and all the guides were superb and we have all come away saying it is the best and most relaxing (!!) holiday we have ever had. My husband and I felt that we completely switched off which is unusual, and the indicator of that was that neither of us had a clue what day it was most of the time and had to use the activity brief to remind us!! We did wonder actually why lunch was not included on the tubing day. It wasn't an issue and the restaurant was lovely; but making it a lunch included day would have just seemed easier ( and even less to think about!).

I cannot stress enough how much was have all enjoyed our holiday in Kas. We got home last night at 7pm and I was looking in the brochure for our next adventure by 9pm! This trip had totally changed our outlook on holidaying; we are quite an independent and active family and were unsure how we would feel about being on a a group organised holiday. Our worries were unfounded however. It was a pleasure to have everything organised for us; and to such a high standard. The other family on our trip were similar like-minded people and our kids were firm friends by the end of the week. Karen and Mike were superb hosts and were always on hand to ensure we were ok. The other guides were great, and it was wonderful to spend time with "local" people who know the area and are passionate about their jobs rather than package holiday reps who are often just passing on the standard holiday info. We felt we learnt about the town, the country and the area as well as just enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We had 3 days with Mike who in particular was a fount of knowledge and never tired of the endless questions from both adults and children. Kas is a real find; my only regret was that we could not stay longer and explore the area a bit more. We felt totally at home in the town and the people were extremely friendly.

We are now well qualified to review this holiday, having done it 3 times! We love Kas - it is such a friendly and welcoming place and somewhere we feel our 3 teenage sons are safe to roam in the evenings and have that bit of freedom from mum and dad. This holiday is so well organised - from the smiling face of Murat at the arrival in Dalaman, to the delicious food at the welcome meal overlooking the turquoise Mediterranean, to the safety briefs on all the activities. New things to us this year were the lunch with a local family at the end of the hike, being served traditional stuffed pancakes and fruit in an authentic setting. Also a different restaurant for lunch on the sea-kayaking day, with a greater choice of cold starters than previous years. Karen and Mike were as welcoming as ever and the guides were just great - we love the humour of Murat, Murat and Bayram and their amazing knowledge of everything! The other families were all great and the boys have come home with a mass of new friends on Facebook! So...will we go back again? I'm quite sure we will!

Overall Holiday Rating: Excellent. We had a wonderful holiday. Everyone from me, who usually likes to lounge around the beach reading, to my husband, who likes haring around on mountain bikes at 70kph, and the children: a brave and sporty 10 year old boy and a girly but active 8 year old girl had a fabulous time. Whatever the activity we were all catered for. The guides/reps (Mike, Karen and Byran) were brilliant: It was more like having a knowledgeable friend with us than a rep. We're already recommending the holiday to everyone. Most enjoyable activity? We'd all probably say something different but we loved all of them. The boys enjoyed racing down the mountains on the bikes (over-taking cars). Willow enjoyed rafting down the river with her friends tied together on tractor tyres (time to chat and scream as they went over the rapids - girly heaven). I loved the walk through the incredibly beautiful and peaceful countryside - just stunning. And we all loved the lazy boat day - which was a great way to get to know everyone in the group, get a bit of sun and see lots of sea life. Andy loved the gorge walk because of the feeling of adventure as we scrambled up through the water covered rocks. Your comments? A totally fabulous holiday. Thank you.
