My wife and I spent a week in Belek and joined many tours all with the same agency. Honestly, they are so professional that you just want to keep up with the tours. The guides speak fluent english and are very friendly and professional. Pick up on time. The highlights of the day were the ancient theater which is impressive and of course lateral. I really liked these places and I’m even thinking about visiting it again in the future. We had lunch with many options. 5 stars for the organization and 5 stars for the incredible sights!
Very competent tour guide and very friendly. Also very good sense of humor which made his storytelling more interesting. Thanks
As someone who’s always looking for the perfect Instagram spot, this tour was a dream! The ruins of Perge, the theater of Aspendos, and the picturesque streets of Side provided incredible backdrops for photos. The guide was super friendly and gave us extra time for pictures. The only downside: the bus was a bit uncomfortable.
Our tour started early in the morning with a hotel pick-up. Perge was our first stop, and the ruins told stories from long-forgotten times. Our guide explained the city’s significance in antiquity and showed us the Agora, the stadium, and the impressive city walls. In Aspendos, the theater was the highlight. It’s amazing how well-preserved it is and that it’s still used for events. After a delicious lunch by the river, we headed to Side, where we experienced the blend of ancient ruins and modern life. The visit to the Manavgat Waterfall at the end of the tour was refreshing and offered a nice cool-down. An all-around fantastic day that brought us closer to the region’s rich history.
Fantastic tour! The ancient ruins and the waterfall were impressive. Thank you.
