Reviews
It was a great experience. The location is not very far from Antalya city, and the itinerary was well-arranged, just nice and not too draggy. Our tour guide, Salman, was very professional and truly awesome! He gave us clear, structured explanations and shared the background stories of the historical places. You should go for it !!
Tour guide Ibrahim was very informative. The myths and facts that he told us were enjoyable. Lunch was very fresh (buffet style salads and appetizers- main is ordered) with a beautiful view of the river where the fish were caught.
We joined this day tour. The confirmation was very quick and the pick up process form the hotel was very easy. The tour took us to many scenic places. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the destinations, we really liked his presentation. The included lunch was at a farm restaurant. We also enjoyed the fresh meals and scenic view of the river from the restaurant.
I joined the day tour and had a great experience with our guide, Ibrahim. He clearly explained the day’s schedule at the start, and throughout the tour shared not only detailed information about each site but also interesting cultural and historical connections with other parts of Turkey. Lunch was good, everything was well-organized, and Ibrahim was thoughtful in casually pointing out restroom locations at each site. Since the ruins are quite spread out, traveling by bus is very efficient. Highly recommended!
One of the best guide I met in my life after traveling to 40 countries. Recep made a great tour for me . The historical site is worth visiting. Thanks to him knowledge we know these places well. The lunch with view is incredible as you can try organic food from the farm. Recep helped us avoid many scams. If he become your guide one day , you just need to sit back and enjoy.
The weather was rainy during the tour so it was convenient to go on this excursion. The guide was knowledgeable and explained the history behind the sites & gave us some time to walk around on our own. All the sites e.g. Perge, Aspendos, Side & Manavgat Falls were covered despite the rainy weather (the current at the falls were so strong during rainy season that you don't see the form of the waterfall). The lunch was delish (fresh trout caught from the river and orange juice from the owner's orange orchard).
Antalya is a place with history. Take a day trip to Aspendos today just for the historical sites. The Aspendos Amphitheater lasted for 1900 years and witnessed the glorious history of the ancient Roman Empire's outward development.
The tour was amazing. Soo beautiful and historically rich locations especially Perge. Flexible transportation between the 4 locations And the Tour Guide was great. Very friendly, informative and perfect english language. The final waterfall stop was awesome to refresh at the amazing view after a long beautiful day
It was the best tour. A passionate guide. And a magnificent, wonderful trace of an ancient city. A place where the sky and the sea are in wonderful harmony. And a waterfall... It was such a wonderful experience. I definitely recommend this tour.
We recently took a guided tour to view the ancient cities of Antalya, Turkey, and it was well worth it. The tour was timely and efficient, making the most of our day. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of our tour guide, who was entertaining, comical, and extremely knowledgeable. The only downside was the timing of the lunch break. We started our day at 8 am and didn’t have lunch until around 2:30 pm, which was a bit too late for our liking. It would have been better if lunch had been scheduled earlier, around 12 pm or 1 pm instead. Other than that, our overall experience was great and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the ancient wonders of Antalya!
