  This trip did not happen. We’re not told the cable car was not operating when we booked. Didn’t like being made to visit a silver shop. No time given to explore Antalya as we were meant to believe.

• A solid two-star experience all around

  A solid two stars all around. On the good side, the weather was nice, the waterfall was pretty. The boat ride was okay. The tour guide did speak English and did in fact provide a little bit of the history of some of the sites. He did not provide a great history of all of the sites. Some of them such as the cliff carvings were not discussed at all. The biggest issue was that he attended to stroll on ahead of the group and managed to lose two of them as we walked around the old town. This led to quite a bit of delay as we tried to find them. He also left the group early to head home which was odd but not terrible. The itinerary was supposed to include the cable car which happened to have been broken. Instead of taking us to the lower falls, we ended up without anything filling in this time. From the description I thought that we were going to take the boat ride to view the lower falls from the water. This did not happen and may have been my misinterpretation. The van that we drove around in was definitely beat up. It was missing some of the internal air conditioning vents so the air conditioning just spewed into the cabin and didn't actually come out any of the vents. It definitely was showing some significant wear. There was a stop by a jewelry store where we were all supposed to get out and be sold the jewelry and some of the local foods. I have seen this trick before at other tours and the tour guide explained that the jewelry store underwrites some of the cost of the trip and indeed I felt the trip was very cost effective. Nonetheless, it's really a waste of my time to to end up being pushed around a jewelry store when I didn't really want jewelry. The lunch was supposed to be included and in fact only the main dish was included. Some of the main dishes were interesting and good and some were terrible. The drinks were not included and it was difficult to stay in front of hydration which is odd in a place which is clearly hot. The extra drinks and desserts and extra side dishes were continually being brought around and we were being upsold them throughout the meal. This was very annoying and I personally dislike being upsold while on vacation. It definitely ruined the meal which was overall mediocre. To break it down, I gave the itinerary two stars because it didn't include the cable car and didn't actually make up much of anything during that time. In addition, I was told the event would end at 3:00 and in fact it ended up finishing back at our hotel around 5:00 which made significant problems with the arrangements we had for the evening. I gave the tour guide two stars for strolling off without us and for not completely explaining all of the significant historical spots we were supposed to be seeing. The lunch was definitely two stars. Thoroughly annoying to be upsold and the food was okay some of the time but some of it was just not very good at all. I give the travel van that they took us around in to stars since it was in very tough condition but did actually run and get us where we needed to go.

• Great way to experience a lot on a day

  Guide was very enthusiastic and kept the group moving throughout. Loves the Old city of Antalya and enjoyed the boat trip. Great views form the top of the cable car.

  My friend and I had no idea what to expect! We really appreciated that Yusuf was so knowledgeable about all the various places and landmarks. His commentary was very interesting and I appreciated the in-depth history! He also took care to keep us in the shade as much as possible and made sure we all had enough time to really enjoy the various places we went to so I highly recommend doing this tour!
