We had a fantastic experience on the tour! Everything was organized exceptionally well, and our guide, Akhmed, was knowledgeable, engaging, and very helpful. The waterfalls were absolutely magical, and the old city tour was very interesting. We also had time to go shopping or relax in a café, which was a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Antalya for the first time!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
This is a long day trip which takes in some interesting sights. The cable car was worth the money with some excellent views from the top. With the waterfalls, we were lucky that there had been a storm the evening before so there was a reasonable amount of water in the river to create the waterfall. The old town is worth a good look as is the harbour. On the negative side, the lunch at the Dino Park was very average, but is included in the price except for drinks. After lunch there was the tourist trap visit to a silver jewellery shop which was of no interest to most of those on the trip. The boat ride was nothing special - a ride along the coast with no commentary to tell you what there was to see., and frankly there was nothing other than a lot of hotels and other similar buildings. For my wife and I the downside was the time spent travelling. From our pick up on the Lara Beach coast, it was almost 2 hours before we reached our first stop at the cable car, as we waited for others to join us and had to transfer to a larger bus. Then there was all the travelling between the sights, so it was an early start and a late finish. Much will depend on where you are staying in Antalya as to whether this trip will be good for you. Check out the travelling before you commit to the trip
Thank you for your detailed review and helpful insights about the day trip. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the cable car and the view from the top, as well as the waterfalls and old town. Your feedback regarding the lunch at Dino Park and the visit to the silver jewellery shop is especially useful, as is your honest take on the boat ride. The point about the travel times is valuable to know—two hours before the first stop would definitely make for a long day. I appreciate your suggestion to look carefully into travel logistics from Antalya before booking; that’s really helpful advice.Thanks again for sharing your experience! It’ll definitely help us and others make a more informed decision.
Overall a great experience, and well worth the time. The views from the top of mount Olympos are stunning, and the old town of Antalya is very interesting. The included lunch, despite being a rather run down dinosaur park, turned out to be very good. If there was one let down, it was the unexpected stop-off at large out-of-town jewellery store. It wasn’t mentioned in the itinerary and just seemed to be a way to try to sell us stuff.
Thanks for your feedback—it’s great to hear that you enjoyed Mount Olympos and the old town in Antalya. The views sound amazing, and I’m glad the lunch worked out better than expected, even with the unusual venue. I really appreciate you letting me know about the stop at the jewelry store. That definitely should have been included in the itinerary if it was part of the trip. I’ll pass this on to the team so we can make future experiences more transparent and focused on what people actually signed up for.Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. If you have any other suggestions or feedback, I’m always happy to hear them.
The best is this tour was Cable car, waterfall was nice ( but not enough time ) the most trip you spend in bus. The silver fabric is waste of time .. prices crazy . I was expected more from this trip . I not will recommended to go and spend all day .
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the tour. I appreciate your honest feedback. The cable car sounds like a highlight, but it’s disappointing to hear there wasn’t enough time at the waterfall and that most of the day was spent on the bus. I’ll definitely keep your comments in mind if I consider booking, especially about the silver factory and prices. Thanks again for letting me know about your experience.
We booked the tour as a family with 2 small children. We were brought by several minibuses to a large bus alone the whole handling including 45min Waiting time took 2 hours. The tour took just under 10h, of which we min. 6 were on the bus Then we were unloaded at a jewelry store like on a coffee trip, where we had 45min stay and of course should buy. There were still several stores that were advertised and apparently working with the organizer. There was then no time for the old town, which upset us and some others very much Most of the tour was done in English which was okay for us. Not for our children, of course. The boat trip was the only highlight from our point of view. We would not book the tour again and would rather take the taxi to the old town ourselves
Das hört sich wirklich nach einer sehr enttäuschenden Erfahrung an. Es tut mir leid zu hören, dass Ihre Familientour mit Ihren zwei kleinen Kindern so schlecht organisiert war und nicht den Erwartungen entsprach. Es ist gut, dass die Bootsfahrt zumindest ein kleines Highlight war. Ihre Schlussfolgerung, in Zukunft lieber selbst und flexibler zur Altstadt zu fahren, ist nach dieser Erfahrung absolut nachvollziehbar. Vielen Dank für dieses detaillierte Feedback. Es ist wichtig für andere Familien, die eine ähnliche Tour in Betracht ziehen.
We did not get to see the three waterfalls as per our itinerary and the rest at the Dinopark is only of interest if you have a child under 6 years of age the meal is very average also. Please Viator check this establishment before sending a party of adults. The tour of the city increases the average score as this was well worth the visit. Please note all my other Viator reviews have been faultless
Thanks for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to visit the three waterfalls as planned, and that Dinopark didn't quite meet your expectations, especially for a group of adults. I also appreciate your honesty about the meal and your positive note about the city tour. Your comments are really helpful and I’ll make sure to pass them along to our team so we can review the establishment and ensure our tours better match our guests' interests. If you have any other details or suggestions to share, please let me know. We’d love to make things right and ensure your future experiences with Viator are more in line with what you expect. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
We had high expectations for this tour, but unfortunately they have not been fulfilled at all. The program said that we would visit a bazaar, a silver jeweler, the High Düden Waterfalls and the marina. None of these stops have been seen. All day we were being hunted to make up for lost travel time, which definitely didn’t give the relaxed feeling you want to experience as a tourist. The guide could hardly be called a guide; he did not give any substantive information about the places we saw and was mainly busy making calls. He only told us when to be back at the bus, while we were interested in learning something about Antalya. The bus rides took much longer than was told, which was problematic for someone in our company with car sickness who needed to be able to take medication in time. This activity is highly regarded on your website, but this review is definitely not consistent with our experience. We feel bought and think this tour is not worth the price of €75 per person. We expect appropriate compensation for this wasted day of our vacation.

Very nice day with Ertan and his driver. Beautiful city, beautiful experience, to make and redo. I wish it would have lasted longer
C'est merveilleux à entendre ! Je suis ravi que vous ayez passé une si bonne journée. Votre commentaire est un excellent témoignage pour **Ertan et son chauffeur**. Ils semblent être de vrais professionnels qui ont su vous offrir une expérience mémorable. Quand un guide et un chauffeur travaillent en parfaite harmonie pour créer une atmosphère aussi agréable, cela rend le voyage vraiment spécial. Le fait que vous auriez aimé que la journée dure plus longtemps est le plus beau des compliments. Cela montre qu'ils ont réussi à vous faire découvrir la ville de la meilleure façon possible et à rendre l'expérience si captivante que vous ne vouliez pas qu'elle se termine. Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé votre avis ! Il sera très utile pour les autres voyageurs.
We booked the two waterfalls, old town & boat tour. We were kept informed of our booking by WhatsApp every step of the way. Really liked the helpful messages on WhatsApp of where we were to be picked from, timing etc. We were picked promptly on time. Our tour guide was Ahmet. He was very friendly & knowledgeable. He gave us very interesting information throughout the way. We first went to lower Duden falls which were beautiful. Later we went to upper Duden falls which were even prettier. Our next step was a jewellery store which was huge. I think most ladies including me bought a piece of jewellery as it was so pretty. Then we had lunch. It was very well organised and super quick. Next we went to old town, then had a boat ride, everything was perfect. Ahmet was amazing! A perfect tour guide!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and enjoyed the tour. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we hope to welcome you back again very soon!
We learned a lot! Teleferik - Olympus car experience was wonderful! Views phenomenal and breathtaking! Upper Duden waterfall was beautiful as well. Heat was over 40 C so we rushed back to the bus. Kaleici old town is lovely just felt rushed as we could visit only one store where guide had friends and before the boat tour. If you skip boat tour you will have more time to explore the old town. Lastly we visited old tower with lovely views of Antalya as well as 3 historic buildings by the quide reccomened cafe where we rested before departing home. Overall we would skip Silver store in industrial complex and wish we could eat more ethnic food in different location other than kids dinosaurs park. (Fries,salad,spaghetti) We wished for even more historical facts and stories, info about the past present and future of Turkey. Overall we are grateful and feel the value is adequate.
Thank you so much for your good reviews about us. We are glad to hear that you had a great experience and enjoyed the tour. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to welcome you back soon!
