Dear Robert! Thank you so much for your instant and warm feedback! And thanks for pointing our best guide Yusuf! All the best to you!
The tour was excellent. We visited 2 beautiful waterfalls, accompanied by some great information and historical insights by our friendly, funny tour guide: Yusuf. He really gave the tour an extra dimension on information and enjoyment, joking and talking his way through the City of Antalya. We also visited an old, Roman archway in the heart of the City, where we gleaned architectural information on the arch, and how history had shaped it. This was the highlight of this fabulous tour. During this time, we were living a little outside of the City, an hour away, and they arranged for our pick up in the morning, and delivered us to the rest of the group in time to see the whole tour and experience the magic of Antalya, as well as take us home swiftly after the tour finished, ensuring a timely dinner.

Thank you so much for your instant and glowing feedback! And thanks for pointing our best guide Yusuf! All the best to you!
Me and my partner went on this tour and could not fault single thing! We had an amazing day seeing the sights of beautiful Antalya and our guide Yusuf was very warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the local history. We then shared a lovely meal at a sea-view restaurant where the portions were big and they catered well for myself (vegetarian) and my partner (pescatarian). For an additional €10 pp at the end of the tour you can take a boat ride on the sea which we opted for and thoroughly enjoyed. Perfect end to the day! It was exceptionally good value for money and we had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
Thank you so much for such a warm and beautiful comment! We are touched to the core!! Hope to meet you again! Sincerely yours!

It was a very nice trip overall! Our guide was a very nice and attentive man, with whom everything could be talked about, every question was answered! He showed us many sights of the individual neighborhoods and could give us information about any topic! Unfortunately, we would have liked a little more time to stroll in the alleys instead of in this big hall full of jewelry 1 hour. To linger.. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed the trip!
