We had a great time and would highly recommend.”
Review of Antalya’s waterfalls, Old Town, boat trip, lunch, and optional cable car, with honest advice on value, timing, and what to expect.
“Was not well organised.. after 4 hours, only saw the 2 water falls, instead was hard sold on fake jewelry and sweets for a whole hour and way too much time spent on talking about lunch and the options instead of talking about Antalya. It included a basic boat ride for another whole hour. This tour is for people who have very poor mobility and/or extremely old and don't know how to use the internet. I do not recommend this tour to anyone. Least memorable part of my whole Turkey trip.”
