Antalya, known as the pearl of the Mediterranean, is not just a paradise of sun, sea, and sand but also a treasure trove of ancient history and natural beauty. Our Antalya Historical and Ancient City Tour takes you on a fascinating journey through time, exploring some of the region’s most iconic landmarks. From the grandeur of Perge to the serene beauty of Kurşunlu Waterfall, this tour offers an unforgettable experience for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Our journey begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel. After a comfortable 45-minute drive in our air-conditioned bus, we arrive at the ancient city of Perge. Known for its well-preserved ruins and rich history, Perge was once a bustling Roman city and an important stop on the Silk Road.
Accompanied by our knowledgeable guide, you will spend approximately 1.5 hours exploring the city’s remarkable landmarks. Walk along the ancient colonnaded streets, marvel at the grand Roman baths, and capture stunning photos of the monumental city gate. The guide’s insightful commentary brings the history of this ancient metropolis to life, making it a truly immersive experience.
From Perge, we continue our journey to the picturesque town of Side, where we enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. The lunch menu features a variety of Turkish dishes to suit every palate, providing a perfect break before our next exploration.
Side’s charm lies in its unique blend of ancient ruins and a vibrant coastal atmosphere. Our guided tour takes you through the town’s narrow streets to the iconic Apollo Temple, an ancient structure overlooking the sea. The temple’s majestic columns, set against the backdrop of the shimmering Mediterranean, offer a perfect photo opportunity. Side’s ancient theater, agora, and Roman baths are other highlights you can explore during this visit.
After exploring Side, we embark on a short 20-minute drive to the tranquil Kurşunlu Waterfall. Nestled in a lush green forest, this hidden gem provides a refreshing change of pace from the historical sites. You’ll have about 45 minutes to wander the scenic pathways, listen to the soothing sound of cascading water, and take spectacular photos of the waterfall surrounded by rich vegetation.
Kurşunlu’s serene environment makes it an ideal spot for relaxation, allowing you to reconnect with nature before we move on to the final highlight of our tour.
Our last stop is the world-renowned Aspendos Theater, a masterpiece of Roman engineering and one of the best-preserved ancient theaters in the world. Aspendos, built in the 2nd century AD, still stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Roman Empire.
As you step into the theater, you’ll be awestruck by its grandeur and acoustics, which remain unmatched even today. The guide will share fascinating stories about Aspendos, its history, and its role in ancient times. Visitors can climb the seating tiers for panoramic views and imagine the grand performances that once entertained thousands.
After a day filled with exploration, history, and natural beauty, we begin our return journey to Antalya. The comfortable drive allows you to relax and reflect on the day’s adventures. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel, bringing this unforgettable experience to a close.

This tour is a great way to explore several key sites in one day. The pace was perfect—it never felt rushed, although we could have easily spent the whole day at Perge! The tour offered excellent value for money, and the lunch was delicious. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that we had some issues with communication.

This caused some uncertainty, but everything else was well-organized, and we had a fantastic time overall. I’d still highly recommend this tour, as it covers a lot of ground and is well worth it.

The tour was a truly enjoyable experience, offering a fascinating glimpse into Turkey’s rich and diverse history. The explanations provided were insightful and helped us understand the historical complexity of the region. However, I believe the tour could further emphasize this aspect to make it even more engaging. While the itinerary covered many interesting sites, I felt that some stops, like the waterfalls, didn’t add much value. Instead, spending more time exploring the incredible ancient city of Side would have been a better use of time. One significant area for improvement is communication during the tour. Unfortunately, our guide didn’t use a microphone, and with the high noise levels on the bus, much of the explanation was lost. Equipping buses with an amplification system would greatly enhance the experience for all passengers. Despite these minor issues, the tour was well-organized, and I would still recommend it to those interested in discovering Turkey’s historical wonders.

The Excursion Mania Team was an excellent guide, but I felt the tour tried to fit in too many stops, which made the experience rushed.

The Excursion Mania Team was a fantastic guide and made the tour enjoyable with his deep knowledge of the sites. However, I feel the itinerary could use some adjustments. The waterfall stop was underwhelming and felt like a waste of time. Instead, I believe the time could be better spent exploring Perge, which, along with Aspendos, were the true highlights of the tour.

The Excursion Mania Team was fantastic—she was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour enjoyable. She went out of her way to help us when we were staying at an Airbnb, even finding a nearby hotel for us to be picked up from. However, the tour was slightly disrupted by a fellow tourist.

Our tour guide, The Excursion Mania Team, and driver, Isa, were fantastic. We started early at Perge, which meant we had the site almost to ourselves—a truly magical experience.

I spent the day with an extraordinary guide whose life story was just as fascinating as the tour itself. At 74, he's a walking encyclopedia of knowledge with a remarkable past. In his younger years, he boldly criticized the government, which landed him in jail. He later pursued sociology and became a political journalist, always standing firm in his beliefs. Life threw some tough challenges his way, including the tragic loss of his ex-wife in a plane crash, but he remains dedicated to raising their 11-year-old daughter. What stands out the most is his genuine passion for knowledge, not wealth. His tours were packed with insightful perspectives, touching on history, geography, and how it all shapes our world today. Today was a reminder that the most compelling stories often come from real life. A truly unforgettable experience with a wise and inspiring guide.

It was amazing to see these historic structures up close! If you're traveling with family, renting a private car from Antalya is a great option. It's much cheaper than taking a bus tour and, of course, a lot more comfortable. This way, you can enjoy the sights at your own pace without the crowds. Highly recommend this option for a more relaxed experience.

The communication throughout the trip was excellent, with smooth hotel pick-up and drop-off. The timing between each site was just right, allowing us to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. Perge was definitely the highlight of the tour. While the waterfalls were nice, they weren’t as impressive as I expected. The tour guide was fantastic, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience.

This was an amazing trip, especially considering the price. You definitely get more than what you pay for. The only issue we had was with the description, which mentioned pick-up from Alanya but didn’t clarify that Lara was also an option. We were a bit concerned the driver might not pick us up, but everything worked out in the end. Despite that small confusion, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Antalya or the surrounding area.

We were extremely disappointed as the tour provider did not show up. Despite confirming our reservation two days before the scheduled date and having paid in advance weeks ahead, we were left waiting without any explanation. We are still awaiting a refund and an explanation for what went wrong.

The guide, driver, and the tour itself were excellent. I had a fantastic time and truly enjoyed the experience. I’d recommend bringing plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for comfort. There’s a stop early on for water and snacks, but if you need more, expect to pay around 7 lira for a small bottle at the sights. The guide gives you time to take pictures at each location, which was a nice touch. For peace of mind, I had my concierge verify the pick-up and drop-off details, and they confirmed I got a great deal on this tour. Definitely book this tour—you won’t regret it!

We had a very interesting and enjoyable trip with plenty to see. It was definitely worth the money. The Excursion Mania Team, our guide, was dedicated, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable.

A truly excellent experience! The Excursion Mania Team was an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate guide. We visited three amazing monuments and some beautiful waterfalls. What stood out was that this was the only group that didn't try to take us to overly commercialized spots, which was a huge plus. A day full of great experiences!

The Excursion Mania Team was an excellent guide, making the tour both enjoyable and educational. He showed great respect for the sites and shared fascinating stories at each stop. There was also plenty of time to explore on our own. For lunch, we stopped at a local restaurant with delicious traditional food, and it was heartwarming to hear that they grow all their own produce and care for stray animals. This tour is perfect if you’re in Antalya and want to see the top monuments without the hassle of renting a car. It’s very comfortable, with hotel pick-up and drop-off. The price is reasonable, but keep in mind that drinks and entry tickets are not included.

The tour was enjoyable, and Recep was a friendly and informative guide who made sure we had a good time. It was also great to have some time to explore and enjoy the local food. However, when booking through Klook, I would advise reaching out directly to Tourmania for any questions. Unfortunately, Klook didn't address my concerns properly and seemed to dismiss my inquiries, leaving me feeling a bit frustrated.
Helpful? Yes
The destinations we visited were stunning, but the timing could have been better. We started at Side and had an hour of free time there, which felt a bit too long, considering we could have used that time to explore other sites more thoroughly. Overall, it was a great experience, but more balanced time management would have made it even better.
Helpful? Yes
It was a lovely day with breathtaking scenery, but be prepared for a lot of walking. There was no swimming involved, so I’d recommend avoiding the hottest days to stay comfortable.

We took an ancient city tour with our guide, The Excursion Mania Team, and it was an amazing experience. His professional knowledge and insightful explanations were truly impressive.

The guide was clearly very knowledgeable and offered helpful insights at every location. I appreciated the information provided, and it really added to the experience. However, one suggestion would be to speak a little louder, especially since many of the sites are near airports, and the aircraft noise can sometimes make it difficult to hear. Overall, a great experience, and I would recommend it to others.

The day trip was generally nice, but there were a few issues that made it less enjoyable. We booked through Viator for just 110 euros for two people, which included the entrance tickets to Perge and Aspendos Theater. However, the pickup location listed by the travel agency did not exist, and despite asking locals for help, we couldn't find it, wasting valuable time. Furthermore, after we contacted the agency to change the pickup location, we were repeatedly reminded to pay an additional 26 euros per person for the entrance tickets, which we had already paid for. This seemed unfair, and it felt like we were being charged twice for the same thing. In total, we ended up paying 162 euros for this tour of four sights, which felt overpriced considering the inconvenience.

I had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, providing great insights into the history and significance of the places we visited.

I had a wonderful time on this tour, even though I was traveling solo. I had some concerns about getting to Alpendos, but those were quickly resolved. The route offered stunning views, and since we went early in the morning, there weren’t many tourists, which made the experience even more special. The only suggestion I have is to replace the waterfall stop with the Duden Waterfall for a more impressive experience. Our guide was professional, patient, and very attentive. I highly recommend this tour.

I was really impressed with the punctuality of the pick-up, which was exactly as promised. The guide, while not knowing every single detail, was passionate and gave plenty of explanations in English.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this tour.

The Greco-Roman architecture in Turkey is truly impressive. The country has such a rich history, with many different civilizations having left their mark. Our guide, Aber, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He had his own little tips (like advising against expensive snacks at tourist sites). Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen, as many monuments are outdoors. It’s a fascinating place to explore.

Booking was straightforward, and the departure was nearly on time. However, there were 18 people on the tour, even though it was advertised for a maximum of 15, which meant no free seats on the bus. The visit to Aspendos, Side, Perge, and the waterfall was definitely worth it. The lunch was great, and the drink prices were reasonable, contrary to what we had feared. However, our tour guide The Excursion Mania Team seemed a bit lacking in enthusiasm throughout the day, which affected the overall experience. Fortunately, there were no forced shopping stops, which was a relief.

I decided to join this tour because traveling to Perge, Aspendos, Side, and Mervgat Waterfall by public transport seemed too complicated. It was a great choice! The guide was friendly and informative, and the driver made sure everything went smoothly. The only downside is that the tour is in English, so it's better if you know some basic English. The tour offers explanations and some free time at each site. If you're not comfortable with English, you can always look up information online. I went in August, and it was very hot, which made it a bit challenging, but overall, it was a memorable experience in Antalya.
