I am a 70 years old woman i relativly godd condition.We gad enough stops to rest.The terrain has hills that are not strenuous. A lits of trees that providence shade. Thanks to Viator agency for the tour and class guide.

Onder was fantastic
We had an absolutely fantastic day touring Termessos and the Old Town of Antalya with Onder. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. Onder brought the ancient ruins of Termessos to life with stories and historical insights that made the site even more impressive. If you’re visiting Antalya and want a memorable, informative, and enjoyable experience, I highly recommend booking a tour with Onder. This was the highlight of our trip to Turkey!

The best guide!!!
Onder was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the site was incredible!!! He was thoughtful and answered detailed questions completely. He was funny and had several family anecdotes that made the experience even more memorable. He also put the site in perspective with other sites we visited. We would highly recommend him for this and other tours he may have.

Wonderful hike with a passionate guide
Our excursion to Termessos with our guide Onder was one of the best moments of our stay in Antalya! Onder is truly amazing: passionate, super kind, funny, and very attentive. He made the tour exciting from start to finish and showed us Thermessos in a unique way. An unforgettable experience that we recommend 100%!

Friendly guide, stunning historical architecture, untouched
Onder was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The tour was a great way to catch some of the history and culture of this significant ruin.

Onder was an excellent Termessos tour guide.
We (self + wife) had a wonderful tour of Termessos provided by Onder. Not only is he a very amiable person to talk with, he had extensive knowledge of Termessos that he was eager and happy to share with us. You definintely want a guide when visiting Termessos - otherwise most of what you'll see will to you just be a pile of rocks and some half-crumbled walls. WIth Onder as your guide you'll learn so much about each point of interest inside the Termessos site.
