Catastrophic organization, pick up time to leave Side over 1 1/2 hours. Boat trip unspectacular, lunch does not deserve the name, since food at Take Away doner!!!, additional cost for waterfall, although included, the visit waterfall was but very nice. Return journey like one-way journey, far too long. From the day trip over 4 hours on the bus!
This is not how the trip takes place. Antalya has four hours of stay, the mountain village is not approached. Lunch would have been a snack in a director's office in a kebab joint, which we saved. Laughable! It was not a small group, but a large bus with endless hotel journeys. There was also no sightseeing in Antalya. Pick-up point was of course a sales gate. The guide seemed listless and overwhelmed-no organization. The same result was also available on your site 1 year ago- please correct the flow

This was a fabulous trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city of Antalya and the turkish culture in general. He was always happy to answer questions. He spoke several different languages and had a lovely sense of humour. Would definitely recommend 👌
Waterfall. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found your guide knowledgeable about Antalya and Turkish culture. It’s wonderful that his multilingual skills and sense of humor added to your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another Tourmania tour soon! Warm regards, The Tourmania Team
We left our hotel for an excursion through the old town and Roman ruins. All went well with the first part of the excursion, enjoying the History of the area, then we were left to shop and enjoy the old town. We started at the bottom of the main street (Liman CD) at the coast, and gradually made our way up the main street. The number of traders who put pressure on was not fun but as we got nearer to the top end of the main street through the old town we saw a sweetshop that sold Turkish delight and big rolls of nougat and other authentic Turkish sweets. We had been warned about Side being the most expensive in the area but we had no idea how. My wife was trying to pick some Turkish nougat and was approached by the trader and his brother and the next minute they told her they had a box and would fill it for her as this was part of the shop rules! So after filling the small box with 2 rolls of nougat and Turkish delight, they wanted to charge her £76 for the box of treats! Of course, my wife refused to pay the astounding amount. One of the brothers started to get very angry and accused her of wasting their time so they said she had to pay for it! I had to step in and pointed out the obvious, that I don't know how much money they were used to but it was beyond our reach for some souvenir sweets. We were then repeatedly cursed at and chased out of the shop. We felt awful after that. Overall we found Side at a very high level of hard sale, and the traders all just have no respect for you as a person, it is like you have money in your wallet that belongs to them! Our excursion was through our Tui reps at our hotel and we strongly feel they should have given us some sort of warning about the trader's attitude towards tourists and warned us about the extortionate prices they demand as reps who recommend and sell excursions in these places they have a responsibility to assess the area and that includes the attitudes of the local people towards tourists. I hope this prevents someone from having a bad experience like we did.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience you and your wife had while visiting Side. It is deeply concerning that the behavior of local traders caused distress and made your visit uncomfortable. We take your comments seriously and will work closely with our partners and representatives to ensure that guests are properly informed about potential situations like this, including pricing expectations and the local shopping environment. Your feedback will help us improve our guidance and communication for future guests. We sincerely regret that this incident overshadowed your excursion and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to provide you with a much more positive experience on a Tourmania tour in the future. Warm regards, The Tourmania Team
Uncomplicated transfer to Antalya and a really worth seeing waterfall. All in all a relaxed trip with a good Guid.

Great trip, lots of free time to wander around the beautiful old city of Antalya. Friendly informative guide and driver. Much easier option than to try and negotiate local public transport and get an informed local perspective of life in the area.

It’s great to know that the tour offered a convenient and insightful way to discover the area. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! Respectfully, The Tourmania Team
Good service, gladly again, only the time was too short in Antalya City. The guide is very nice and patient with children.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us amazing review - it's much appreciated!
Absolutely rubbish. Took lot of money in the name of Cable car, water fall, old village and Boat Trip with lunch included. Lunch was given on the road side like a street food only one chicken wrap with no water or chips included for kids. We had to pay for it. They never took us to cable car and said that in past it had an accident so they don't do this now. They never took us to old village. Guide stated asking for tip money. All money wasted or you can say down the drain. I would never recommend them as they are dodgy operators.
Dear Guest , Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we truly regret the disappointment you felt during the tour. We would like to sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the itinerary. The cable car visit has indeed been suspended for some time due to safety reasons following an incident, and this information should have been clearly communicated in advance. We recognize that any lack of clarity here is unacceptable, and we are reviewing how this is presented to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Regarding the lunch, we are sorry that the meal provided did not meet your expectations. The lunch included in this tour is a simple local option, and children’s meals or additional items are not included unless stated otherwise. That said, your feedback has been shared with our operations team to reassess both quality and communication. We are also very concerned to hear your comment about the guide requesting tips. Tipping is never mandatory, and this behavior does not align with our standards. This matter has been taken seriously and will be followed up directly with the guide involved. While we are glad a refund was not required in this case, we sincerely regret that your day was spoiled and that you left feeling dissatisfied. Constructive feedback like yours helps us improve our services, and we assure you that corrective steps are being taken. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Tourmania
You get to see most of the turkish town in one day really good vaule for money. Only thing I can critise is the weather as it was cold but that didn't make the day less enjoyable glad we did it
We are thrilled to have you as part of the Tourmania family! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us. It means the world to us and to our entire team! We look forward to serving you again soon!
What a tour! Great value, tour guide was great, knew the areas well. Definitely recommend, 8 hours of waterfalls, boats and shopping… Watch out for the parrot though, it bites! No brainer, just go!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We will share this with the team to let them know to keep up the amazing work !
