Traveller reviews
Lunch was basic, but the waterfalls and Old Town made the tour worth booking.
Kaleici was the best part for me. We had time for coffee and a quick look in the small shops.
Clean minibus, friendly guide, and enough stops to keep the day from feeling too long.
The balance was right: a bit history, a little free time, a short boat trip, and the waterfall. I liked that we were not marched around every minute. The minibus stayed cool, which mattered because it was a very hot day. For staying in Side, this was a convenient way to see Antalya properly.
The boat tour from the harbor gave a good view of the cliffs. Short but worth doing. Tbh, we were happy with it.
We took loads of photos and still had time to wander. Very easy day out.
