Review of Antalya’s Termessos hike: ancient ruins, an eagle’s nest theater, mountain views, guide Onder, value, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“The tour guide, Onder, made this experience very enjoyable and educational. He was friendly, easy to contact and provided a cheap, helpful direct pick-up and drop-off service to and from our bnb. The actual tour was excellent! Onder taught us about the history of Termessos while helping us take photos of the beautiful scenery. He went above and beyond to provide us with extra information and recommendations for the rest of our stay in Antalya. Would highly recommend!”

The lunch was great, and he even gave us a gift for our honeymoon. I highly recommend that you…”

“Waste of a day. Stopped first at a scenic outlook over the city for 20mins for photos, only needed 10mins, then continued on to an Onyx shop which wasn’t mentioned in the tour. Had to stand through talk( quick luckily) then showed into a few rooms where we are able to buy jewellery. Wasn’t interested in that so we were allowed to then cross the road to look at pigeon valley and have another 20 minutes there for some photos, but we had been expecting a walk through pigeon valley as it had been mentioned in their spiel about the tour. Then drove a long 40 mins or so to…”
