Great tour and tour...

Anja_R, Feb 2025
Great tour and tour guide. The woman was very knowledgeable and knew many languages. She put great effort in the well-beeing of the guests. The driver also was very professional, his driving was very good. It was quite a drive where you can see all these nice little villages along the way. I recommend.

Looong Day trip to Myra & Kokova

Sharon_M, Sep 2024
I was excited about this trip BUT the excursion started in small vans that picked us up from location 5 mins from hotel, taking us to a random meeting spot about an hr down the road to get onto a larger bus. The pick ups en route wasted sooo much time - we reached our first stop around 1030 & some people had been on the bus since 530am. Understandably they were cross! We had been travelling since 6.30am. The Kokova sunken City was a pleasant boat ride. However, the " glass bottom boat", which was in fact a few very unclear windows in the bottom of the boat rendered no signs of any city or ruins that were visible. The history was explained, and people did enjoy a swimming break. The visit to St Nicholas Church was allotted 20-25 mins & cost an extra 17 euro's per person to enter. Myra was interesting & the theater impressive, but if you have any mobility issues the theater steps are steep and the best views may not be accessible. The journey back was expedited by less drop offs, the bus meeting the vans in a different locale. However, one person dropped off before us was dropped off on the road about 100M from their hotel and was unaware there was a tram track alongside the bus, and as the van doors opened & he went to step off the van, he was narrowly missed by a speeding tram! The drivers speak very little English & no warning given. Whew!

Superb

Everywhere in Turkiye is just full of history, culture ..and add up with lovely people and food. Very relaxing and enjoyable experience

This was a lovely trip...

This was a lovely trip which packed a lot into a day. The rock cut graves at Myra are fantastic and we had plenty of time to explore the site. The guide was friendly and informative. The boat trip out to the sunken city was beautiful.

The worst

Jamie_M, Jul 2023
Dreadful. Spent 14 hours out on a trip and 8 of those were on a coach (one hour collecting other guests). The guide was dreadful. He told us nothing. No idea what was what. He was bored and not interested. Went passed a sunken city and didn’t know as the boat guide spoke only Russian. Boring hellish day.

Subpar Tour

TYANNIKA_L, May 2023
The sites were incredible and a must-see, but not with this particular tour…we are English speakers and the tour was mostly in Russian. The food at lunch was also subpar and very rushed. Everything about the bus was also very uncomfortable as the air conditioning was broken, the seats were dirty, and the seatbelts don’t function.

Myra Kekova

vincentyeu, May 2023
We were in a minority English speaking group (10 out of 60+). The organization was chaotic and we had to change bus half to and return but little instruction was given. The guide talk a lot in Russian with no English interpretation in terms of instruction. During the tour the English explanation was more about looking left or right. Basically you pay to get someone to take you there. However, the Myra site was wonderful. We did not see much of the Sunken City as it was high tide when we were there.

No air conditioning in the bus

shamoun_d, Aug 2022
Not a pleasant experience, the bus broke down 15 min after the trip started. Had to wait for a while before the next bus arrived. This bus had Ver poor air conditioning, we were sweating through the whole journey. As the location was quite far away by the time we arrived there I was exhausted with heat. The sunken City was amazing but the journey was unpleasant. As we were returning from the journey I realised the air conditioning fan had not been opened and that was really annoying as we could have had an easier journey than we did.
