Be careful with this excursion
Very disappointed with this excursion, which was nevertheless the most expensive of those we had booked in Turkey. A huge amount of time spent on the bus for only 2.5 hours at a ruins site under construction, where there was ultimately not much to see. We mostly had the impression of being there to consume and buy souvenirs. The advertised "waterfall" was, for its part, simply a small stream, with no real interest. A frankly ridiculous day given the price paid. And above all, very disappointed with Viator's customer service: despite my request for a refund or a commercial gesture, no proposal was made to me. It is unacceptable, especially since we had booked several excursions via the platform. I really advise you to get well informed before booking this excursion.
Response from the operator: Nous sommes sincèrement désolés que cette excursion n’ait pas répondu à vos attentes. Nous comprenons votre déception concernant le programme et le temps passé dans le bus. Vos remarques sont importantes et nous aideront à améliorer nos services. Merci d’avoir partagé votre expérience.

Extremely poor experience from a utterly disorganised tour operator
Review of excursion on 11th August 2026 to Side, Aspendos and Manvagt The pickup from our hotel was scheduled at 8:30 am but was 20 mins late with no information provided. When we (family of 3) got on the minibus we found there were only 2 seats. One of the staff members gave up his seat to allow us to sit. Around 2 km down the road, we were moved to a bigger coach, which had non-functional air conditioning. Throughout the day inside this bus it was 40 C with 98% humidity. Then for the next 2 hours the bus picked up passengers from several hotels until it was really crammed and unbearably hot inside. There was no scheduled toilet break, we had to force them to stop at a petrol station to use the toilet as we were desperate. When we got to Side, the first point on the excursion, the English speaking guide Kevin who had been silent throughout the journey so far announced that he had a "bad knee" and would not accompany the group on the sightseeing. Kevin gave us a 2 min brief on Side and then we were asked to follow another guide who spoke Russian only. Kevin's lack of effort and energy made the trip a real misery. He is barely capable of explaining anything in English and kept repeating his "bad knee" story. We were walking by the Roman and Greek ruins like clothing shops without any commentary. More of the same at the Aspendos site as well. Interestingly Kevin the guide didn't bother to do any headcounts and kept asking the paying attendees if everyone was back on board when leaving each stop. It's shocking how shamelessly unprofessional and disorganised this guide was. On the way back again we had to change to a minibus for the final 2 km from the coach which roasted us throughout the day with no air-conditioning or ventilation. My wife was feeling really ill as a result of this suffocating heat inside the bus! What is the point of going on a guided tour of a bunch of historical sites with no commentary or information on what we are looking at?
Response from the operator: We are sorry to hear about your experience. However, we do not understand the claim that the vehicle was 40°C inside, as this would be extremely unlikely. We would also like to clarify whether you are saying that you had to travel standing, as this is not possible and all passengers are provided with seats.

Good day out - value for money.
Trip covered off everything we wanted to see. More time in Side would have been appreciated as there is more to do. Right amount of time given at both Aspendos and Manavgat. Lunch was included and was good. This could have been substituted for extra time in Side however. Tour was in Russian and English, the info given in English felt limited but covered off what was needed. Pre trip customer service was really good.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad the trip covered the key highlights you wanted to see and that you enjoyed the lunch. We appreciate your suggestion about spending more time in Side — we’ll definitely take this into consideration to improve our future tours. We’re also happy to hear that the customer service before the trip met your expectations. Regarding the English commentary, we will work on making it more detailed to enhance the experience for all our guests. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable tour!

Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alanya.
How much does Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya cost?
+
Prices start at $66 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alanya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Alanya is not rushed.
Is Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alanya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Alanya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Alanya and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aspendos, Side and Manavgat Waterfalls Tour from Alanya start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Alanya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Alanya?
+
On Outty we rank every Alanya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alanya Holiday Photo Shoot – Families, Couples & Solo Travelers, Alanya Jeep Safari, Sapadere Canyon Waterfall ,Dim Stream and Dim Cave Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Alanya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Alanya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
