Gorgeous sites - Absolute must visit! Super gorgeous places. A bit of a long day depending on your hotel location but totally worth it as the sites are unique. I had a fabulous time. Shame Russian tourists really need to learn to behave but I guess that’s expected

This was a lovely trip... - This was a lovely trip which packed a lot into a day. The rock cut graves at Myra are fantastic and we had plenty of time to explore the site. The guide was friendly and informative. The boat trip out to the sunken city was beautiful.

Wonderful experience here in Antalya-Kaleici - It was an awesome tour, from the tour guide who was so informative and our driver who got us everywhere safe and sound. Turkey's history is amazing and this tour had much to love. I don't know what I loved most the visit to Myra Holy city. The boat ride and seeing Sieman Island, the Sunken city, watching people swim in the cove and topping it off with a visit to St Nicholas Church. I learned so much! We had a nice group of 9 people from all over the world. And we had a nice lunch at Santa Claus restaurant. I booked on line from the USA received confirmations right away and when I got here to Antalya old city Kaleici I was able to meet up with them as they were close to the hotel. They offer pick up and drop off too! I 💯 % recommend them if you want to take a tour around Antalya. Matter of fact I have one booked for tomorrow. Great guide great service couldn't ask for more

Reliable tour operators - This tour was important to my wife as she is of orthodox faith and St Nicholas is an important figure in her faith. I found myself enjoying the tour more than I expected the swim around the island of kekova was wonderful and the visit to the Roman theatre spectacular. Both the managers and particularly the young lady who assists them can’t do enough to assist you in getting the best out of your stay. We want to visit Antalya again as there is much more to see than we managed in our stay and we will definitely use this company again. We both feel we made new friends in Solymos travel and hope to see them next summer

Solymos Travel - A great trip overall with a lot of ground covered during the day. Genghis the tour guide was knowledgeable and very personable, giving insight to the history of Turkey as a whole, and not just the places we visited. A memorable experience and a definite highlight of the holiday. Yunus at Solymos Travel made the process of booking so smooth with a very professional and friendly service. We loved Antalya and hope to return again soon. Solymos will be the first place we visit to make sure we book the best tours.

A must do tour! - This was my first tour. I really enjoyed the boat trip to kekova. We then visited demre where saint Nicolas was the bichop. The church is stunning. I was amazed by the structure of it. Myra was my favorite. I didn't expect it to be like this. I think I am in love with the Roman sculptures in general and theater. What I didn't like was the lunch. It wasn't that good. The guide was very helpful.

Improvement needed - We do much looking forward to our tour especially to see the Sunkin City and ruins . The tour guide took us all in morning for coffee and refreshments unfortunately the place we were taken too was off the beaten track in the hills and charged €15 euros for two machine coffees and 2 rolls stall . The air conditioning was poor in the van ( not a bus as the tour said) and the guide was not pleasant. Knowledgable but lacked customer focus and enthusiasm. Water offered to us during transit would have been a welcome addition, instead of feeling hot and thirsty . The lunch we were taken to a basic hot canteen ( for refugees) very poor tasting food . The Sunkin city we were not taken to ruins only skimmed over the wall of city that was it . Disappointed / best to not do your just stay up there and arrange yourself . The waters are exceptionally beautiful enjoyed the swim , Myra was interesting and enjoyed walking around 😊

The worst - Dreadful. Spent 14 hours out on a trip and 8 of those were on a coach (one hour collecting other guests). The guide was dreadful. He told us nothing. No idea what was what. He was bored and not interested. Went passed a sunken city and didn’t know as the boat guide spoke only Russian. Boring hellish day.
