    Great day trip. Excellent value for money

    This was a fabulous trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city of Antalya and the turkish culture in general. He was always happy to answer questions. He spoke several different languages and had a lovely sense of humour. Would definitely recommend 👌

    Response from the operator: Waterfall. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found your guide knowledgeable about Antalya and Turkish culture. It’s wonderful that his multilingual skills and sense of humor added to your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another Tourmania tour soon! Warm regards, The Tourmania Team

    If you can avoid Sedi old town, I do acknowledge it has beautiful parts to it, unfortunately though the local people look upon

    We left our hotel for an excursion through the old town and Roman ruins. All went well with the first part of the excursion, enjoying the History of the area, then we were left to shop and enjoy the old town. We started at the bottom of the main street (Liman CD) at the coast, and gradually made our way up the main street. The number of traders who put pressure on was not fun but as we got nearer to the top end of the main street through the old town we saw a sweetshop that sold Turkish delight and big rolls of nougat and other authentic Turkish sweets. We had been warned about Side being the most expensive in the area but we had no idea how. My wife was trying to pick some Turkish nougat and was approached by the trader and his brother and the next minute they told her they had a box and would fill it for her as this was part of the shop rules! So after filling the small box with 2 rolls of nougat and Turkish delight, they wanted to charge her £76 for the box of treats! Of course, my wife refused to pay the astounding amount. One of the brothers started to get very angry and accused her of wasting their time so they said she had to pay for it! I had to step in and pointed out the obvious, that I don't know how much money they were used to but it was beyond our reach for some souvenir sweets. We were then repeatedly cursed at and chased out of the shop. We felt awful after that. Overall we found Side at a very high level of hard sale, and the traders all just have no respect for you as a person, it is like you have money in your wallet that belongs to them! Our excursion was through our Tui reps at our hotel and we strongly feel they should have given us some sort of warning about the trader's attitude towards tourists and warned us about the extortionate prices they demand as reps who recommend and sell excursions in these places they have a responsibility to assess the area and that includes the attitudes of the local people towards tourists. I hope this prevents someone from having a bad experience like we did.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience you and your wife had while visiting Side. It is deeply concerning that the behavior of local traders caused distress and made your visit uncomfortable. We take your comments seriously and will work closely with our partners and representatives to ensure that guests are properly informed about potential situations like this, including pricing expectations and the local shopping environment. Your feedback will help us improve our guidance and communication for future guests. We sincerely regret that this incident overshadowed your excursion and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to provide you with a much more positive experience on a Tourmania tour in the future. Warm regards, The Tourmania Team

    Great interesting trip to Antalya

    Great trip, lots of free time to wander around the beautiful old city of Antalya. Friendly informative guide and driver. Much easier option than to try and negotiate local public transport and get an informed local perspective of life in the area.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest ; Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Antalya’s old city with plenty of free time, and that our guide and driver made the experience friendly and informative. It’s great to know that the tour offered a convenient and insightful way to discover the area. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! Respectfully, The Tourmania Team

    in the land of Dodgy robbers

    Absolutely rubbish. Took lot of money in the name of Cable car, water fall, old village and Boat Trip with lunch included. Lunch was given on the road side like a street food only one chicken wrap with no water or chips included for kids. We had to pay for it. They never took us to cable car and said that in past it had an accident so they don't do this now. They never took us to old village. Guide stated asking for tip money. All money wasted or you can say down the drain. I would never recommend them as they are dodgy operators.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest , Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we truly regret the disappointment you felt during the tour. We would like to sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the itinerary. The cable car visit has indeed been suspended for some time due to safety reasons following an incident, and this information should have been clearly communicated in advance. We recognize that any lack of clarity here is unacceptable, and we are reviewing how this is presented to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Regarding the lunch, we are sorry that the meal provided did not meet your expectations. The lunch included in this tour is a simple local option, and children’s meals or additional items are not included unless stated otherwise. That said, your feedback has been shared with our operations team to reassess both quality and communication. We are also very concerned to hear your comment about the guide requesting tips. Tipping is never mandatory, and this behavior does not align with our standards. This matter has been taken seriously and will be followed up directly with the guide involved. While we are glad a refund was not required in this case, we sincerely regret that your day was spoiled and that you left feeling dissatisfied. Constructive feedback like yours helps us improve our services, and we assure you that corrective steps are being taken. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Tourmania

    City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Side.

    How much does City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Side usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall 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 Side is not rushed.

    Is City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 92 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Side, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall?

    +

    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 City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall 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 City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall?

    +

    Around 32 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 Side 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 Side and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall 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 Side 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 Side?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Side experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya Quad, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour w/Lunch & Transfer, Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch, Jeep Safari Adventure around Green Canyon with Boat 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 Side?

    +

    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 Side?

    +

    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.

    What is included in City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall?

    +

    Included: Lunch (if option selected); Licensed Guide; Boat Trip (if option selected); and Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Not included: Drinks; and Cable car ride (Currently out of service). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 356 listed pickup locations in and around Side. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall offered in?

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall?

    +

    Is City of Side: Antalya City Tour w/Boat Trip, Old Town & Waterfall wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
