We had a beautiful day traveling to Perge, Aspendos and Side. Our guide, Fatima, was fantastic. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Definitely worth the trip and reasonably priced. We highly recommend this day trip if you’re in Antalya.

We were a group of 7 and had Ali as our tour guide, who was excellent. We had a transfer from Belek to meet the main coach and then dropped off directly at the end of the tour - both pick up and drop off were punctual. The 4 destinations were all very different and wonderful and the guiding by Ali was interesting and insightful. The local lunch (included in the tour) was a couple of minutes drive from Aspendos and was very good, with starter selection, small salad and a main course consisting of a choice of seafood, chicken, beef or vegetarian. A great day out - I highly recommend it.

A great introduction to the history of the area. Antalya is clearly stuffed full of amazing history and this tour gave a great insight to some of the best preserved sites.

Each stop along the tour brought something different to the experience. The tour guide was exceptional in his communication ability and much care was taken to make the history clear and relatable. We don't often book guided tours, but this trip showed the great benefit of doing so.

Fatima was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable, funny, and did a great job keeping everyone informed throughout the day, from the history at each stop to pickup and drop-off times. The tour itself was very well organized and enjoyable.
My only complaint is the company’s decision to include the “waterfall” stop. A 3 foot (not a typo) man made cascade drop isn’t worth the time and felt unnecessary. I would much rather see that time used at a better waterfall, such as Upper or Lower Düden, or simply time added to Perge or Side.
One thing I especially appreciated was that this tour did not include any forced jewelry, leather, or other sales stops. That was actually one of the reasons I chose it, and it made the day much more enjoyable.

Fatima was the best guide today. This was our first ever tour in turkey and we have never experienced any tour guides or tours before. She explained everything very well, food was good, let’s we had 3 breaks in between to enjoy our own time. Everything 10/10 .. wish could give her more

A very interesting day trip around all the most important archaeological sites in antalya. A very efficient tour with no sales stops or wasted time. The bus was confortable and had good aircon. The guide Fatima was very informative and entertaining. I would recommend this tour.

Fatma was an excellent guide who kept the tour interactive, funny and engaging. We were a group of 12 people and were all impressed with Fatema and how knowledgeable she was. The lunch whilst basic was enjoyable and fresh. Would definitely recommend

We had a great guide who was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with lots of information about the history of the locations we visited. If travelling in summer as we did, it can be extremely hot, I saw 40 degrees celsius on the dash of the car at one stage, so plan better that we did and bring wide brim hats and/or sun umbrellas. I would recommend this as a great experience

This was good and side was really nice and a much better experience than old town antalya. The temples were interesting and the timing was well spaced out. Lunch could have been a bit more substantial though. There are plenty of things to buy in side like clothes bags food etc. Apollo temple is well kept but the perge city was a little run down but still well worth the visit

Positives:
The historical sites are steeped in ancient history and definitely worth visiting.
Our tour guide was attentive and informative throughout the day.
Our driver was patient and very good at navigating some very busy roads.
The bus was air conditioned and comfortable enough.
We enjoyed lunch. There was a choice of beef, fish, chicken and vegetarian. Food was included in the trip but drinks were extra.
Negatives:
We were picked up from our hotel 20mins later than planned. We contacted the tour operator via the app (no response) followed by viator (who couldn't get in touch with tour operator). It was frustrating not being updated while waiting.
We were one of the last people to be picked up and were crammed in the back seats that felt somewhat claustrophobic.

However the bus was small and not very comfortable. Lunch portions were small.

Amazing experience with Kerem, he was extremely in depth with his explanations and had perfect answers for any questions. He was so friendly and passionate about everything that it made the experience even better.
100/10 I've done multiple tours and this was easily my favourite, I recommend this to anyone especially any history nerds

Ok time picking us up, great tour guide— Fatima. Really interesting and lovely places. It was a really long day, ours was 12 hours. I would have been happy going home after the waterfall and skipping Side. Side seems like mostly a tourist trap. And would have been nice with a shorter option! Being snacks (no stops for breakfast or coffee until midday), and we didn’t get home until after 7pm.

A whole day out. Great sites and Fatima was an excellent guide - informative, friendly and really good at keeping everything on schedule to ensure we got the most out of each stop. Perge was beautiful and we had it to ourselves which was fantastic as Im sure it gets very busy. Best place for souveniers is Side. Wasnt expecting the shopping but makes a great final stop. Would highly recommend this tour, especially with Fatima.

I had communication from Viator the day before the planned trip, I replied, after 5 hours I hadn't heard from them so messaged them again, still nothing, the conversation was documented in the booking details. I then emailed them, still no reply. I set my alarm for 6.30am to find a message from Viator saying pick-up time was 7.30 and they hadn't replied before as they had not received an email although ALL communication, including the email I sent, were all available to see in the "conversation in booking details"
I was picked up promptly at 7.30, the first and we were on our way.
After picking up everybody who was on the trip we were briefed by Fatma, our guide for the day, who was very pleasant and energetic, she went through the itinery and what to expect from the day.
Perge was our first stop, Fatma gave us a very good and detailed explanation of the history of Perge going from room to room with very detailed information of the ancient city. We had about 30 minutes free time following Fatma's 1 hour tour which enabled us to take photo's, have a comfort break, grab a drink in the little shop, whatever you wanted to do.
Aspendos theatre was the next stop and what an amazing historical theatre this is. It is still used today for concerts, the acoustics are apparently amazing and, I believe, well worth going to for the experience, coming up in September. Again, great history and information imparted to us from Fatma.
Next was lunch and although not a 5* restaurant it was a homely place, very pleasant and the food was great, we were well looked after, this was an enjoyable experience for me, the type I would rather experience than what alot of tour operators think people want.
Next was Manvagat waterfall, well, we saw it, the place was still in preparation for the "season," we only stayed there for about 15 minutes if that, which was plenty of time really whilst on a tour, the toilets were nice and clean, 40TL a go, well the ladies were anyway!
Next was Side, Fatma once again gave us a detailed history of the ancient sea port with her enthusiastic and knowledable delivery after which we had free time, about 45 minutes I think. I personally visited Side 16 years ago and it has changed alot, developed for the tourist, still a pleasant visit though. We were told to be back to the meeting point by a certain time which unfortunately 2 or 3 people in the group didn't adhere to and we had to wait for them. This impacted later in the journey back with traffic.
Fatma was a fantastic guide and any tour would be worth going on if she was your guide. If you book through Viator you don't know beforehand who the tour operator will be. Fatma is freelance and works for 5 tour operators, Everytour was the one on this day. Another Fatma was our driver and she drove with care, getting us there and back safely and I even managed to practice my Turkish, biraz, at the end! My day ended at my drop-off point around 7pm or just after, as I said previously, there was alot of traffic!
I think it would be a good idea if Viator was to ring the customer prior to the trip if they think you haven't replied to their message.
I also think that if you book through Viator they should inform you of which tour operator they plan to assign you to. Just a thought as I have been on a few tours and they do differ.
Had a great day seeing all these beautiful sites. Ali was my guide and he was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave many historic facts and stories about each site and throughoutthe ride. The tour was perfectly planned, very comfortable and there were many stops for WC, coffee, etc. The lunch was delicious as well. Highly recommend this tour when in Antalya.

The transport was fast and on time, Fatima made sure that everyone was there and that we are comfortable. She explained everything so good and asks to assure that we understood her. The whole tour was so smooth and it wasn’t felt rushed. I highly recommended this specially Fatima cuz she’s really so nice

Homer, our guide, and Mehmet, our driver, were exquisite. Homer is deeply knowledgeable, intense, and utterly engaging, a person clearly built for this work. Mehmet is a skilled driver with the kindest disposition imaginable. This trip is worth every penny.
For any Western-educated person, this tour is essential. A Western education trains us to believe that civilization begins with the Greeks and Romans, with only a reluctant acknowledgment of Egypt. This experience corrects that mythology. Anatolia, and what is now Turkey, preceded them all. It restores historical order and reminds us how profoundly incomplete the Western civilizational narrative has been.
