“Fantastic tour🤩 Great value for money! They picked us up at our hotel in Side. Our guide was amazing, speaking both English and German fluently, and she was in such a good mood, keeping the group entertained with her stories. I think her name was Gina, and the driver was Mosa (not sure about the spelling). We had a wonderful day exploring Antalya’s old town and the waterfall. The guide gave us excellent information about the places we visited and tips on where to find different attractions and things to do. Highly recommended!”

“The place, as such, is worth seeing, but the road is long. Especially if you are going from Alanya. It is preferable to order breakfast at your hotel; of course, there will be some stopping points where you can drink coffee or buy something for breakfast. Expect that there will be a lot of people, the place sounds very touristy. If you want beautiful photos, I recommend taking a photographer, one photo 250 TL. Cleopatra hot pools are a must-try.”
