★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 37 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $66

Explore Aspendos, Kursunlu Waterfalls, and Side from Alanya with lunch, hotel pickup, and a full day of Turkish history.

“The tour was very well organized and the tour guides communicated with everyone. If you're going in the summer be prepared it is very very veryyy hot. I highly recommend bringing a portable fan and a water canteen. If you're looking for a tour to see things and take pictures I would recommend. However, if you are looking for a more informative or historical experience do your research on your own. The tour guides did have some information and if you asked they gave context and background knowledge. Overall a very nice experience and would recommend if you are looking to see some sites in Alanya.”

“I loved this tour. So much history and so much to see, l just wish we could have stayed longer. The guide was really informative, the canyons were breathtaking and l loved going on the zip line (you may extra but it’s worth it). The ancient city was nice to see. I loved being up in the mountains on top of the Roman theatre.”
