“The activity itself is brilliant, you do get a good amount of time on the vehicle, and a good route with twists and turns, and driving through rivers. The only issue we had was as we were waiting outside our hotel (pick up was at 0830, we got outside at 0820) no driver turned up, I emailed the company once and had a response that they were delayed due to traffic. we then waited until 0930.

“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!”
