Fantastic guide, great trip but comes with a a BIG coach - My partner and I had an amazing time! Our guide was fantastic - knowledgeable, professional, friendly and super helpful. He shared a lot of details about the history and culture for each place. We really enjoyed the sunny deck on our boat trip, watching the Sunken city. We also had an amazing experience in Demre and Myra, exploring the necropolis and amphitheatre ruins. Our guide also told us a lot about the origins of St Nicolaus. Lunch was delicious as well. A fantastic day! The only criticism would be the pick up and drop off as we spent a LOT of extra time - it turned out it was a big coach trip, which we didn't know when booking. (Would have preferred a smaller van, even at a higher cost).

Wonderful day of experience - Very informative tour, our guide Dovud was so great a well of great historical information. Very hands on tour, he made the tour fun even though it was a long day tour The only improvement I dare to suggest was lunch. The food was not appetizing or tasty.

Lovely views, a full fun day out - The tour was fantastic, and our guide was full of local and historic knowledge. The communication between the yusuf and us was brilliant. The only issue we had was with the food provided at lunch in the santa clasue restaurant, if we booked again we would bring our own food.

A Very Fun Day! - Very fun day trip! The boat tour was beautiful, don't forget to bring a swimsuit so you can take a dip in the Mediterranean! The Myra Rock Tombs was another highlight - they are incredible to see. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended!

Nice - The views were amazing, but it took too long to go and come back to the hotel.. Also the look from the boat at the sunken city was not clear enough to see.... Crew and tourist guide were friendly and helpful.

Perfectly organised and an amazing tour guide - Would definitely recommend this trip. Everything was organised to perfection by our tour guide, Huseyin. He planned the day in such a way that we missed all the crowds. He was a very friendly and knowledgeable man with a clear passion for what he does 👌

Turkey is great, Ginza tour isn’t - We just arrived from Kekova - Demre (St.Nicholas) - Mira tour with Ginza operator (Russian speaking). It was a mixed experience: the nature and attractions was great. The guide (a woman) wasn’t. St.Nicholas restaurant in Demre was very bad (as another review stated). We was told St.Nicholas museum cost is €19 and Mira cost is TL300 (you have to pay to the guide, no tickets was given to us), but info in the internet gives you about half of this price. Guide insisted several times that we have to buy drinks from the driver (2 small bottles of water for $1), we shall give tip to the driver (otherwise the bus door could stuck), boat team has the best price as they didn’t pay taxes and so on…. All in all, Kekova as a sunken city was a bit disappointing as I expect more. As a seaview - great. Mira - astonishing. Didn’t expect such impression. Unfortunately we have only 30 minutes for it.
