Onder was my guide during this excursion. I will remember his kindness the most and sense of humor . He really went out of his way to make sure you understood the history of Antalya but he was also sure to provide you will the most ideal recommendations for restaurants, ice cream shops, and other aspects of Antalya.

It was a great tour through the streets of Kaleiçi and the museum. Onder is a great guide, he clearly enjoys it and is great at giving a lot of tidbits about the area. Highly recommended!

Önder is a local who loves his city! He is wonderfully educated and knowledgeable about historical events and locations. I don’t think we missed a single highlight of the history of Antalya. We really enjoyed our time together! The next time we’re in Antalya, Önder will be our go to contact for where to go and what to do! Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us! Be well!

Onder was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide with a great taste in music! The dessert at the end was delicious. As a bonus, his tour really helped familiarise us with the layout of old town.

I had a fantastic experience on this walking tour of Antalya’s Old Town! Our guide was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, sharing historical insights about each site we visited. The group was small—just six of us—so it felt very personal, and he took the time to answer everyone’s questions. The two-hour walk was the perfect length, and we got to see so many beautiful spots. The tour ended with a lovely Turkish treat, which was a great touch and made the experience feel even more authentic. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Antalya!

I had already stayed in a hotel in Kaleiçi for several days, but it was only after going on this tour that I felt confident about the layout of this part of Antalya. It’s the perfect tour for orienting yourself in the old town.
The highlight for me was the museum, where Onder's humour and generosity of spirit brought the static artefacts to life by threading them through the tapestry of his family life in Türkiye. It was truly wonderful.
I would venture that Onder is one of the best tour guides you will meet. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject matter, and generous in his responses to the barrage of questions from the group.
Onder also provides tours of Perge and Termessos, both extraordinary sites to visit. I highly recommend taking these tours with him, as the warmth and humour of his narrative makes insights into the ancient history of Antalya so enjoyable.

It was a good idea to join the city tour with the professional tour guide Onder! Very organised, friendly, funny and interesting experience! Highly recommended!Thank you Onder for an additional information for tourists!

Lauren_K, Oct 2025
We took a long walk around Old Town with a long stop at a museum which Onder talked us through! I went solo, but Onder was great at getting the group talking and was really personable. Had a blast and got a sweet treat at the end!

Onde was such a great host. He was lively and energetic and funny. He was so full of knowledge and showed us so much and filled us with much history.
Patrycja_W, Sep 2025
Onser is great- he will make sure that everyone feels included (even your little ones), he’s very attentive and adjusts the pace of the tour to group’s needs. We have learnt a lot about Turkiye and Antalya and it was all mixed with some humour and personal stories. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to spend a couple of hours in a lovely company while learning a bit about the town. Onder also shares a lot of tips and recommendations about the town so you can ask about anything from best shopping spots, all the way to tasty food and snacks
Oliver_S, Sep 2025
Our Antalya Old Town tour with Onder was very enjoyable. He is friendly and made us feel welcome in the city from the start. While Antalya is quite compact, we weren't sure what to focus on beforehand, and Onder took us around key sites, bringing the streets more to life by painting a fascinating picture of what life used to be like. Onder has a background in education and it showed, he was very clear and we both learnt a lot, from cultural to historic (including the Roman and other influences on the area) and religious aspects, and how the city has evolved over time. He also provided us with honest recommendations, from general advice to activities and food suggestions (including a great restaurant that we ate at the same evening). Onder added a huge amount to our Antalya visit and highly recommend his tour to others. Many thanks!

Great guide, was very knowledgable, proficient in english. Tour started right on time. Our guide was able to pace the tour to keep both my 11 yr old and me engaged at the same time. Reasonable and well timed stops to take pictures and rest given the high temperatures. Strongly recommend it.

Guide was kind, friendly and knowledgable...a retired school teacher he could entertain his audience
Donald_H, Jul 2025
Oner was a great guide. He is a retired art teacher and he was able to go in depth with the symmetry of the buildings in old town and the various art collections and other archived items of the Turkish culture. He was awesome.
Douglas_D, Jun 2025
Onder was a fabulous host. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Antalya's old town and openly shared cultural aspects together with tips of where to go for great food and shopping. We bought a beautiful silk rug based on his introduction to a shop keeper along our tour route. If you visit Antalya be sure to ask for Onder as your guide. You won't be disappointed.
Eliyah_P, Jun 2025

I was lucky to booked this trip. Onder is such great tour guide, he picked me up in time, he took me through the old city, explained the story for couple of spots, gave me tips/ recommendations for my stay in Turkey. Highly recommended trip for whoever wants to know the history of Antalya. Thank you Onder.
