Disappointing Experience with Nirvana Tours – Poor Guiding and Communication
We booked two tours with Nirvana Tours during our stay in Antalya. The first was to Demre, Myra and the Sunken City, and the second included Perge, Manavgat Waterfall, Side and Aspendos Theatre. Unfortunately, both tours were disappointing, particularly in relation to the quality of guiding and the information provided. On the Demre, Myra and Sunken City tour, our guide did not accompany us around the historical sites. Instead, we were left to wander around on our own, without any meaningful explanation of what we were seeing. One of the main reasons for booking a guided tour, particularly to sites of such historical significance, is to benefit from the guide's knowledge and commentary. Without this, we could just as easily have visited the sites independently. Our second tour was also disappointing. When we arrived at Aspendos Theatre, we discovered that it was closed. We had not been informed of this beforehand. We subsequently discovered that the closure had been advertised on the official Turkish Ministry of Tourism website for several weeks prior to our visit. While we cannot say whether Nirvana Tours was aware of this, we would expect a professional tour company to check whether major attractions are open before bringing customers to them. What made matters worse was the guide's response. He dismissed our disappointment, suggesting that there was no need to enter the theatre as he could explain everything from outside. This was hardly an adequate substitute for visiting one of the most important historical attractions on the itinerary. More generally, we found the guide's historical knowledge disappointing on the one site on which he accompanied us. The information provided was limited, and some of it appeared to be inaccurate. We were particularly disappointed that we missed the opportunity to experience Aspendos Theatre properly, especially when there were other historical sites in the area, such as the ancient theatre at Side, which might have provided an alternative and which the tour guide discouraged use from seeing, saying we would be seeing the Aspendos theatre! Overall, we felt that the tours did not deliver the experience we had paid for. We expected knowledgeable guides who would accompany us through all the historical sites, provide accurate and interesting commentary, and ensure that the advertised attractions could actually be visited. We also believe that where a major attraction is closed, customers should be informed in advance and an appropriate adjustment or refund considered. Unfortunately, based on our experience of these two tours, we would not recommend Nirvana Tours to anyone whose main interest is exploring and learning about the historical sites of the Antalya region

Excelent hystorical tour
We had an amazing tour covering the hystorical sites in Side, Aspendos, the ancient city of Perge, but also the splendid view of Manavgat waterrfalls. The driver and our guide were wonderful persons, both professionally and bringing a warm human touch, making sure our needs were met. Also, the included lunch was one of the best foods I had during this vacation, highly recommend the grilled fish.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antalya.
How much does Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antalya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Antalya is not rushed.
Is Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antalya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with 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 Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with Waterfall?
+
Around 13 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 Antalya 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 Antalya and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Perge Aspendos Aquaduct Side with 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 Antalya 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 Antalya?
+
On Outty we rank every Antalya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Tour of Pamukkale from Antalya with Lunch, Antalya Excursion to Perge, Aspendos, side, Manavgat waterfall, Antalya City Tour With Duden Waterfalls & Old Town Small Group. 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 Antalya?
+
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 Antalya?
+
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.
