The experience is awesome... Ali, our tour guide knows his "crafts"... He was very friendly and approachable - we learnt alot from him. Also had excellent time management... and most of all lunch is superb!!
We had a very good time on this trip! The guide was informative and the sites were incredible.
Amazing experience, learnt and saw so much ancient history. The guide was at a good pace and we had time to explore ourselves. I recommend the fish for the included lunch. Would definitely recommend this trip!!
The tour guide explained everything in great detail.
The itinerary was very fulfilling, and the guide did a great job explaining the history and interesting stories behind each historical site. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour!
Really nice tour. If I could give one tip is that at sometimes in feels a little rushed. Especially the time at perge could have been more.
Helpul Guide nice food and great experience.
Ali was a great and knowledgeable host! Had a great day out, and got to see lots of lovely historical sites. Worth the money and time spent!
The tour guide was excellent and explained everything in great detail. The driver drove very smoothly, and the itinerary was well organized.
Our tour was really good and Ozzy was really friendly, knowledgeable and pragmatic with guiding us, explaining the history and making suggestions based on the weather. It was a really enjoyable and engaging. The driver really helped us out with a umbrella so we could get better prepared otherwise we would have been drenched!
Despite the rain we had a lovely day. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Greek, Roman and Ottoman history.
Excellent tour. Prompt and courteous through out. The driver was clearly experienced. The guide OZZY was extremely knowledgeable about the many layered history of Anatolia and Antalay - such that he answered questions that were rather broad ranging. His knowledge of the archeological sites Side, Perge and Asppendos was excellent and he made the narrative fun, historical and contemporary at the same time. Highly recommended.
Nice experience. Very good value for the money. The guide was excellent
Really nice full day trip, The guide Ozzy was really knowledgable and charming. He didn't rushed anyone through places.
Very good. Nice guide . Amazing place. Definitely worth it.
I had an amazing time on the Antalya ancient city day tour. The ruins are stunning, everything went well. Thanks for this lovely trip!
Very professional guide Yusuf (arzi) and the tour was well organized. The introduction of the ancient ruins was clear and specific. Recommending it.
Ozzy was a great tour guide - excellent English, knowledgeable, interested in history and took time to explain things. Perge was the highlight and Ozzy tried to help visitors imagine what life was like there. It was really fascinating. Aspendos was stupendous! Side was touristy but worth seeing the two temples. Not much else there except bars, restaurants and shops. The waterfall was a good pit stop for ice cream, coffee and clean toilets. The lunch provided was very basic. The chicken kebab I had was nice but the cold buffet was not great. Some had grilled fish which looked good. Water not provided, so take some with you. I would give 5 stars but the lunch let the tour down. However, I would recommend the tour if you are interested in history, culture and architecture.
The guide provides super comprehensive information about Turkey’s history and the ancient cities.
Had a Great day. Worth every penny.
Meeting point is convenient and the guide is full of passion and knowledge. Food is really good as well. Highly recommended.
This tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, giving us clear background on everything we saw without overloading us with facts. The stops at Perge, Aspendos, and Side were well-paced, and walking through the ruins really brought the area's history to life. To top it all off, the food we had was genuinely delicious. I highly recommend booking this if you want a great historical day trip in Antalya.
We have a very experience joining the tour. nice guide!! Knowing many historical info. Good pick for sites. All of the scenarios are gorgeous. Good for value!!
Very nice one day trip! Visited three ancient ruins and a fountain. The guide Yucal and bus driver Ali are super friendly and welcoming! Will recommend to my friends
Fruitful day, good transport, good food Packed with things to see, but not too rushed. Good pace. Not much to complain about apart could use cooler AC on the van
Everthing is perfect! Mr. Ali and mustafa really helpful!
Do not waste your money. Although the ruins are quite spectacular, you are rushed. Our guide (Yucel) had a thick accent, gave garbled information , did not answer questions, and tended to talk with his mouth away from the crowd. Halfway through the tour he gave up using amplification and just shouted so you could understand nothing. Many of the people on the tour gave up and just wandered away because they were not getting any information . Perge was interesting but we had little time. Side was a tourist trap. It might be spectacular later but right now you can't see a lot. The theater in Aspendos was very grand and interesting. Lunch was good. But it was a lot of time in a bus for no information and time with a bad guide. So often these tours depend on the quality of the guide and we drew the short stick. I would not recommend this for anyone.
We were so disappointed. We chose this tour because the reviews raved about the guide. We were not so lucky. Our guide Yupik? was almost impossible to understand as his English was so accented. I can only imagine how the second language people felt. To make matters worse, after lunch he dispensed with the sound system and yelled at us instead. That made him even harder to hear let alone understand. When at the theater the Rick Steeves guide was there with a group and I learned more from eavesdropping on him for 10 minutes than the whole day with Yupik. He was also curt when answering questions and walked well ahead of the group. At one point one of our members fell to the sidewalk trying to keep up with him. We picked her up but he was so far ahead he didn’t notice. At lunch he disappeared into the restaurant leaving us all to try to figure out where we were supposed to go. I would certainly not recommend this guide to anyone. It was nice to see the ruins but I expected some context. The waterfall was not worth the time it took to drive there. I would have much preferred more time in Perge. That site was so rushed. The pick up was smooth and the driver was fine however the day was ruined by the guide. Holiday days are precious and to waste one was very upsetting
We have really enjoyed the tour! The guide brought to life the spectacular ruins and unique historic spots by telling us about them. Also the food was good, the fish and vegetarian side dish. We ate quite a large portions:)
Really enjoyed visiting Perge and Aspendos. Side was too crowded for our liking. Side ratio of shops to ruins was too high. Tour length was good. Lunch was okay; too late in the day and rushed. Guide and driver were good. Although our guide’s accent was hard to understand at times. However, he was very cheerful and managed the time effectively.
All was good. Program was very interesting and pleasure
Ali and Yucel were great. Explained everything in detail. Good food too.
reasonable stops design, the guider is welcome
Izzy was the best guide! He was very knowledgeable. The trip came with a delicious lunch.
We had a good experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide ( Yucej ) and a good driver (Ali).. This is an easy and economical way to see some fantastic historic sites.
Good, everything as advertised
Amazing tour guide (Yücel)! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I wish we could spend more free time in the ancient cities. Food was also great. Very fresh and good cooked fish. It was a small group of people and no children. Great experience.
Very interesting trip! Cool sights & scenes were shown and told about by our excellent guide Ozzy! Perge and Aspendos espially were worth seeing.
Great trip, nice guide. We were very pleased, can only recommend
nice tour guide and the driver
It was a wonderful experience with Yucel and Hasan. Good and informative tour.
It was really nice trip visiting the ancient city. Our guide Uzel was very knowledgeable and our driver Hasan was efficient through the traffic. Overall it was a nice experience!
It was a nice trip and a great experience. I would recommend it to everyone who is interested in history.
Everything was great. The tour guide was very knowledgable and organised. The timing was always good and the driver himself was very professional and always on time.
The tour guide Yusuf and driver were both incredibly attentive and professional. The guide was very patient in explaining the history and stories behind each place we visited, which made the whole experience much more interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
The pick up went smoothly. You get notified of the time and place beforehand even if you book very last minute. The bus having ac is great given the heat during the summer. You get to see and learn about a lot of things in a relatively short amount of time thanks to being driven everywhere and the guide being knowledgeable about all the history. If we had tried to get to everywhere and learn about everything plus get a meal on our own it would have taken us at least two days. So its definitely worth the money 😊👍
Great experience overall and we really enjoyed the trip. Both our tour guide and driver (Ibrahim) are very kind and friendly. The sites are amazing. We learnt quite a lot about Ancient Greek, Roman and Christian history. I’d recommend this tour to people who want to explore archeological and history of Antalya.
Yucel and Ismail were great! Absolutely loved the experience! 10/10 would recommend. Lunch was great, protein portion a bit lean but very tasty!
It was a great experience and I definitely recommend it. It’s so complete!
