The sites themselves were impressive, especially the theater in Aspendos. However, the tour felt rushed, and we barely had enough time to explore each location. The guide seemed disengaged and didn’t provide much detailed information. Lunch was average at best, and the transportation was cramped. I expected more from this experience.

While the ruins were interesting, the overall organization of the tour left much to be desired. The guide was hard to understand, and we spent too much time on the bus. The Manavgat Waterfall was overcrowded and felt more like a quick photo stop than a relaxing experience. Not worth the cost.
