    Great time

    Perge, by itself, is worth the cost. The theater in Aspendos is amazing. Side was a nice seaside town right on the beach. Skip the waterfall.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback regarding these locations. We acknowledge your assessment of the sites, though please note that our service focus remains on facilitating professional travel experiences regardless of individual subjective evaluations.

    Worth the wait

    Antalya is a beautiful Mediterranean Port town on what’s known as the Turkish Riviera but it is much more than just a beach town. It has thousands of years of history within the city and nearby at several ancient sites. This full day experience took us to three of these, including one that is still occupied and thriving. Yusuf is the name of the guide who accompanied us and he did a marvelous job of bringing the history of the area to life. His narrative covered more than just the history though, he shared personal experiences about what it is like to live in this region. He also knows the area well enough that he was able to show us details that would be missed by others who were not familiar with it. This included an excellent local restaurant where we stopped for lunch. The owner of this restaurant had his own small orange grove that he used for his delicious freshly squeezed juice! Yusuf confessed that it was his weakness. I had to agree, it was superb. Even though this excursion took extra time due to road construction that delayed traffic for over an hour, Yusuf cheerfully saw to his commitment and gave us a great, full day of wonderful sights and stories. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience and if you’re lucky, you might even get Yusuf for your guide.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the rich history of the Turkish Riviera and that Yusuf’s passion made the experience so special. It’s lovely to know he shared those personal insights and found you such a perfect spot for that delicious orange juice. We truly appreciate your kind words about his dedication despite the traffic delays, and we will be sure to pass your praise along to him. We hope to welcome you back to Antalya again soon!

    Excellent private tour of Perge, Aspendos and Side with Yusuf

    Very good private tour and everything was exactly like in the description. Yusuf was a great guide, very friendly and told us many interesting facts about the history of the places. His English was very good and easy to understand. The bus was comfortable, the timing was well organized, and the pace of the tour was relaxed, never rushed. Lunch was good too. Overall, everything was smooth and well planned. Definitely worth it if you like history and ancient sites.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed a relaxed, well-organized day and that Yusuf’s knowledge and friendly approach added to your enjoyment of our ancient sites. We pride ourselves on creating smooth, memorable experiences, so knowing that everything met your expectations—from the comfort of the transport to the lunch selection—is truly rewarding. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again on another tour in the future!

    Historical sites around Antalya

    Enjoyed seeing all the sites on this excursion. Yusuf was extremely knowledgeable at each site and very professional and fun. The only area that needs improvement would be the transportation. The air conditioning needs a bit of maintenance.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback and remarks. Regards!

    Perge Aspendos Side the Historical sites of Antalya: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Perge Aspendos Side the Historical sites of Antalya cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 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 Side the Historical sites of Antalya take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Side the Historical sites of Antalya worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 51 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 Side the Historical sites of Antalya?

    +

    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 Side the Historical sites of Antalya suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Perge Aspendos Side the Historical sites of Antalya?

    +

    Around 18 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Perge Aspendos Side the Historical sites of Antalya 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 Perge, Aspendos, Side and Waterfall Full Day Tour, Antalya: Perge, Aspendos, Side & Manavgat Waterfalls Tour, Full-Day Tour of Pamukkale from Antalya with Lunch. 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.
