I am very satisfied with yesterday's tour, it was a fun day spent. Antalya is a wonderful city. It delights with its location and beautiful harbor. I also really enjoyed the old town and the visit to the Duden waterfall. The tour is nicely organized, a comfortable transfer is provided. Luckily, the weather was also good, so the tour was really enjoyable. I definitely recommend visiting Antalya. A big thank you to the organizers and the guide. Magda

We had a great experience with our guide Mithat, he showed us all the nice spots, answered all questions also joke around with us, shared some experiences he had in Cappadocia. me and my mom had a really enjoyable day, can’t complain at all, we got picked up at our hotel and dropped off also, even the weather cooperated as it’s winter and we got sunny day with 19 degrees. This tour is a must

Excellent service, comfortable and reliable! In our mini vacation in Paris, in addition to the Palace of Versailles, I also booked the boat cruise on the Seine and the inevitable visit to the Louvre. Really easy and some tickets do not need to be printed, shown directly from your mobile phone even offline!!Convenient packages!Surely it will be my guide in the next destination too!!

Excellent Tour, driver and the team picked me up on time, and the whole day was well organised, and managed to see the city, and historic sights as planned.

Mihat was very good, he explained everything very nicely along with the driver, had a very good experience with him
