BEWARE useless organization - horse riding
I have to say my turkish husband wanted to share this with people so im doing it on his behalf and my 'group' who were let down by an Ilyas from Eskikoy Dalyan -after we had planned a horse riding session with his 'buisiness'.....if you can call it that....For anyone coming to Dalyan or already living there i suggest you never attempt to go horse riding with him.
:2:
they were not ready for us at all (group of 6)
(to add if you dont have insurance or generally! i would consider asking for a helmet - i didnt see any and most dont use them)
we had made calls days before, hrs before, planned and been upfront....he had previously told us he cant do sunday as he has press coming?! but then he said ok do it for 20 lira per head (for about hr half) and no breakfast included....ok we all said no problem.
after arriving at his house- talk about hard to find-the horses were not clean and not ready and he eventually said go and wait at laylays (nice restaurant off main dalyan ortaca road -do go there they are lovely!!!) and they will bring the horses there themselves very soon.
we waited for over 2 1/2 hrs with no call from him or word at all.....we had also taken 2 random german tourists with us to laylays in our hire cars as the man had suggested it as an idea -to stay together to wait for him and horses so we entertained them too (one in our group spoke german).:gathering
But he didnt arrive- we called he said wait- we called he said 25 min more- by this time it was gone 2 pm?! If we had known he would be that long maybe we would have ordered food??
the press man was also waiting at laylays on the table next to us and wanted us to be in pics we were told...makes sense right for advert!happy customers.....but the horse owner didnt come.talk about bad advert. :crazy:
we called him again to say we had had enough and were leaving and he was very rude to my husband indeed and so my husband said he would therefore not recommend anyone to do dealings with him or trust him.
A day out riding -well even a few hrs is supposed to be fun and we had brought our guests...so it didnt look good at all- we felt let down by poor communication/organisation -its no way to run a buisiness is it?:doh: If the horses were sick then i can understand but we saw them and they seemed fine.
interestingly the man had said go to laylay and have drinks on me while you wait- laylay said thats not so and we were paying for them ourselves...so beware.
eskikoy is also not within close walking distance of laylays so the 2 germans who stayed a while longer were stranded but chose to stay- god knows what happened to them poor sods as they didnt speak turkish and were very confused.....
if anyone can suggest other areas or people for horse riding within mugla district we would all love to know- we want to take our friends again and 2 singletons hit it off too so we need to make a new love date!!:hug: and still want to do riding but with a reliable honest person.
ideas pls? :horse:
