Traveler reviews
Good but with some dissatisfaction
our exceptional guide, whose vast knowledge and friendly. made the historical sites engaging. However, stops with exorbitant drink prices felt like outright gouging. included meal was disappointing
In short, an essential activity!
Qualified guide passionate about his work in public. People visiting Antalya can do this activity easily from morning to late afternoon. Activity that I strongly advise.
Awesome
I had an amazing time on this trip—everything from start to finish was smooth, enjoyable, and exceeded expectations. The scenery was breathtaking, the people were welcoming, and every day was filled with fun, adventure, and great food. Whether it was exploring local culture, trying new experiences, or simply relaxing and taking it all in, this trip was the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation. I came back refreshed, inspired, and already thinking about when I can go again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fulfilling and unforgettable getaway
Too hot
It is a trip that is too long, the food was too bad, food was damaged and had a bad smell, and the bus was very good, super comfortable, and so was the guide, but paying €47 just for transportation and a lunch is really a shame, and besides, they never said You had to pay €30 more to enter Pumekale and 220 lire to go to Cleopatra's pool, the heat is too suffocating,
Money gauging tour/ mostly tour time on bus of 15+ hrs
The worst experience! Started tour at 5am and ended at 10pm. This tour was mostly in bus ride majority of the time!! Many unnecessary stops and I was not informed that there would be extra costs such as entrance fees and to swim you had to pay fees! I purchased the tour through Viator in canada not knowing that this tour was longer than 15hrs. The main attraction was the Pamakkule thermal pools and we arrived around 1pm and had to be back on bus by 330pm. We toured mostly on bus ride for the rest of the duration. The thermal pools dont look anything like the l pictures on site and frankly thetes no room to swim as it was overly crowded. Was told there were showers( freezing ice cold water located outside without privacy) towels were available( you have to pay for them) hair dryer available( hand dryer in toilet ) , fee to swim, the bus I was travelling in was jam packed and I sat in the very back seat where there was vomit dryed up in seat tray and seat! Extremely unsanitary!! Thevworst part is , is that we as travellers are not informed of when we are to be transported back to our hotel with a specific time is concerning. Being the last person left on the bus, I felt really scared and nervous. I left my hotel at 5am to start tour and dropped off at my hotel after 10pm is absolutely ridiculous when the destination to the tour from my hotel is 3hrs approx!! Would warn others!!
