Wow what a great day we had on this tour! We were informed by BERKAY before hand letting us know where we were getting picked up from. The waterfalls were amazing and we had plenty of time to look around and take photos and video. The boat trip was excellent we got to see Antalya from a different angle. Finally we had a walk round the old part of the city, our guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Antalya. very interesting. I would give this tour a five star recommendation!! We were also dropped back at our hotel and the end. Thanks again BERKAY.

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

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.
