“I wouldn’t recommend this trip. We were picked up and at the first stop we were placed at a table and told to wait. We kept asking what we were waiting for and how long and they just kept saying 5-10 min. It ended up being an hour which was obviously intended since we were apparently waiting for a group to finish their rafting activity. No one told us and it wasn’t mentioned anywhere. The car ride up the mountain has insanely loud music which was fun on the way there , on the way home I wouldn’t have minded if it wasn’t there anymore. The guide tried to shout…”

“Ibrahim our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Started with a visit to the ancient city of perge and then leading onto a visit to side where we saw the temple of apollo.

Review of Side’s 5-in-1 Green Canyon tour, with waterfalls, a lake boat trip, ancient ruins, lunch, hotel pickup, and practical booking advice.
“Magnifique je vous la recommande ++ groupe très sympathique même si nous ne parlions pas la même langue. Cependant nous avons dû attendre 1 heure le matin, le temps de récupérer tous le monde je trouve cela un peu long. Journée un peu courte car le site annonce 8h30/17h30 or nous sommes revenus à l'hôtel à 15h30.”
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.”
