The tour was very well... - 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.

Waterfalls and ruins - Great trip, waterfall was different to advertised but the alternative was lovely. Plenty of time in Side to explore on your own.

Very good day trip! - It was an interesting trip with spectacular views and good stops. We enjoyed taking pictures of the waterfalls, the visit of Side was interesting and the Aspendos Theater is really amazing! We would have enjoyed some more informations about the ancient sites by our guide.
Over all a very valuable day trip.
BUT:as we entered the bus in the morning, we were asked for diner choice(lamb,fish,chicken)- we are vegetarians-as other guests were too- and our vegetarian diner was a small plate of fries... (to make it clear-there was an amazing choice of turkish starters like ezme,salads,homemade pickles, bread and fruits- we were fed up and did not leave the restaurant hungry!and Suleiman was really really kind to us!)- the point is, there was more than enough time to prepare some grilled vegetables or something-keep it in mind maybe for the next guests!
I would recommend the trip!

Amazing experience - The overall experience of our tour has been great. Both tour guide and driver have been amazing. I would appreciate we spend more time to explore the waterfall area, but on the other hand I understand that our itinerary was tight.

Overall, some beautiful sites, but the rushed timing and shopping detour took away from the experience - The tour overall was okay, but quite rushed. We only had about 45 minutes in Aspendos, even though the entry ticket was €15, and just 25–30 minutes at Manavgat Waterfalls. Both stops felt too short to really enjoy.
In Side, instead of exploring the initial ancient ruins at a natural pace, we were taken quickly past them and straight into a shop where there was a clear push to buy things. This was disappointing, as I had hoped to spend more time experiencing the ancient city itself.
On the positive side, the tour guides were friendly, but unfortunately the English commentary was very hard to hear through the bus microphone.

It was okay - We were picked up in a small bus to join a big tourbus so there were a lot of other people. Everytime we were dropped at a place we had to be back a certain time, so of course there are always people that are late. It just annoyed me how we had to wait 20 min extra to go to lunch. They should have just left and told the late people to take a taxi there. The lunch was good but it was very little for so many people. You got a small plate with your choice of meat or fish with rice and then there was a buffet style for pasta and salad but that wasnt enough for so many people and not a lot of choice. Overall a long bus ride and the experience was okay
