Not to be missrd - Superb visit to both spectacular gorge and the home of Pegasus. Definitely recommend to those with any interest in history. Nice tourist lunch at quirky hillside taverna.

This is a must!! - Well organised… collected from hotel and a fantastic tour guide (Jesus 🤣 you’ll understand when you meet him) for the whole time. You need to carry cash! All drinks etc are paid in cash. They have a 40 lira entrance to Saklikent (Hidden city) is the biggest gorge. The canyon I believe goes about 18km. You need a sole on your shoes to cope with rocks, don’t do it in flip flops, sandals with a buckle, old trainers you don’t mind getting wet and muddy. You will get to bum height in water at various parts as you venture through the canyon. You’ll be blown away with its size and beauty. You are taken early morning which is best as it’s quiet. It does get very busy by lunch. You then go up the mountain to a lovely place with a waterfall for lunch, option of chicken fish or a Turkish bread with potato’s or cheese or a mix. I recommend this it’s so good! Buffet salad potatoes and pasta, you pay for your drinks, cash again. You then head to Tlos the ancient city, this is full of culture. There’s a lot of info so record on your phone if you want to retain the history as there’s a bit to get your head around! Stunning place and scenery. It was a hot day which you only felt around Tlos but it’s worth walking around and go to the top! 360 view!! Amazing trip so happy I did this

Great combo of nature and history - This is a great tour package that combines nature and adventure (Saklikent Gorge) with history (Tlos). The tour guide was enthusiastic, the experience overall was well-organized, and the information shared about Tlos was interesting. If I had to wave a magic wand, I'd provide guests with an extra 15 minutes to explore Tlos. But overall, a great experience.

Just Amazing - Absolutely fantastic day the highlight of our holiday. Tour guide Emre I believe was enthusiastic and got involved. Full of information. The gorge is just stunning. Beautiful but cold! bring suitable shoes and swimwear if you want to go rafting. The history of the tombs was fascinating. Don't miss this day out!

One of the best things we did in Turkey - This is a fantastic experience and a must-do for anyone interested in the nature and history of Turkey. Saklikent and Tlos are very different experiences but complement each other wonderfully to make for a diverse and interesting day. Our tour guide, Atilla, was very well informed and engaging, and took lengths to involve everyone which was very accommodating. Drinks and the entry fee for Saklikent are not included in the price you pay for this experience but both will not set you back much further. Overall I can't recommend this experience enough.

A nice family day out - The sites themselves are incredible and worth seeing. The tour guide had excellent English and was very friendly. The only downside was the lack of AC in the coach. It made the journey uncomfortable.
