He switched easily between English and Spanish, showing excellent language skills and deep knowledge about everything we visited. You can tell he truly loves what he does. I was very happy with the experience and totally recommend it!”

4.From city of Side: Antalya Old City and Waterfall Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 496 reviews · 8 hours · from $25

Side’s Antalya day trip pairs Kurşunlu Waterfall with 4 hours in Kaleiçi old town, plus hotel pickup, guide, and easy pacing.

“Fantastic tour🤩 Great value for money! They picked us up at our hotel in Side. Our guide was amazing, speaking both English and German fluently, and she was in such a good mood, keeping the group entertained with her stories. I think her name was Gina, and the driver was Mosa (not sure about the spelling). We had a wonderful day exploring Antalya’s old town and the waterfall. The guide gave us excellent information about the places we visited and tips on where to find different attractions and things to do. Highly recommended!”

“Abby was a lovely guide for starters, she was very knowledgeable and funny. I loved pamukkale and hierapolis…. If you’re a cultural/ historical fact lover and appreciate ruins and their stories, this trip is very much based in that area. Downside of the trip was I didn’t know beforehand how much the entrance fee to Hierapolis was (€30). Was it still worth it? Yes. 👍”
