(4.8)We did something awesome!!!
Our 8-year-old daughter had a dream of swimming with a dolphin. We want to accomplish this in our holiday in Turkey and we did a little research on the web for it. During our research, we found Vigo tours. We had a few questions and we sent an email. After 5 minutes, the reply came from Vigo Tours. Unbelievable!!! They answered all our questions. We asked a few more questions. They answered them very quickly. We made our reservation online from the Vigo Tours website. We did not pay the entire fee. We just paid a little deposit. Our ticket was sent to our email address immediately. Our daughter was incredibly happy!!! We received a whatsapp message from Vigo Tours about the pick up time from our hotel 1 day before the tour day. Our daughter was so excited, her dream would come true!!! We started waiting in front of our hotel at 13:30 on the day of the tour. At 13:30, a gray van came with a Vigo Tours sign on the windshield. The driver came up to us and asked, "Are you waiting for dolphin swimming" and asked to see our ticket. Then he took us to the van. The driver told us that he would take more guests from 2 hotels and then travel for approximately 30 minutes. He spoke English well. He said his name was Mehmet. After receiving guests from 2 different hotels, we traveled for about 30 minutes and arrived at a dolphinarium. Our driver obtained our entrance tickets from the cashier office and took us inside. Our driver took us to another table to make our daughter's swimming registration. The registration lasted 2 minutes here, and a wristband was attached to our daughter for swimming. And we were shown the point where we should be ready for dolphin swimming after the dolphin show. Our driver told us he would wait there for the return. Our daughter was incredibly happy!!!! We watched the dolphin and sea lions show before the dolphin swim. We had a great fun and great show. Dolphins and sea lions performed incredibly beautiful shows. During the show, they also made some animation by taking some guests by the pool. We also joined. Dolphins splashed us with big water!!! Great fun!!! In the meantime, we took a photo with a dolphin by the pool. From there we went to the place where we should be ready for dolphin swimming. Our driver was waiting for us there. Approximately 10 minutes later, they took our daughter to a nearby location for preparation for swimming. Our driver accompanied us. After 10 minutes, our daughter and other dolphin swimmers came in a life jacket with an attendant and immediately went to the dolphin swimming pools there. Before entering the pool, swimmers were disinfected for the health of the dolphins. And dolphin swimming started with a dolphin guide. We watched everything from behind a wire fence next to the pool. During the swimming, an attendant took pictures and video of those swimming with the dolphin. It is an incredible joy to see the happiness of our daughter!!! After the swim, our daughter was handed over to us and from there we went to see the photos. Pictures and videos were expensive, but the price was lower when you took a lot of pictures and video. We just bought a few pictures. Our driver, along with other guests, took us to the van and set off to return to our hotel. We were so happy to fulfill our daughter's dream!!!! For this, we thank Vigo Tours endlessly for good organization, good service and very safe driving.. The driver was very helpful and smiling. He struggled hard to help us and made very careful driving.

(3.8)Vielen Dank!
Vielen Dank an Vigo Tours, dass der Traum unserer Tochter, mit Delfinen zu schwimmen, wahr geworden ist! Wir wurden um 13:30 Uhr von unserem Hotel abgeholt und erreichten den Delfinpark in ca. 40 Minuten. Wir wurden um 18:00 Uhr in unser Hotel zurückgebracht. Alles war perfekt. Die großartige Show der Delfine und das Schwimmen mit dem Delphin dahinter war wirklich großartig. Wir hatten viel Spaß mit meiner Tochter.
