Half-day Alanya tour with hotel pickup, Damlataş Cave and Cleopatra Beach, plus Alanya Castle by cable car for sunset views.
“The website was very deceiving, two things said to be included were not included in the cost. (We were not the only ones to have this issue). We also had 30 minutes to see the cave, but there was no time to even buy a ticket. The buses need to be better equipped as they were old/smelly and run down. The only positive was the friendly tour guide.”
See Alanya by cabrio bus with Red Tower, Cleopatra Beach, Damlataş Cave, castle sunset, BBQ dinner, and a belly dance show.
“Booked in German, unfortunately no tour guide available for German. Jeep driver didn't even get a hello from his mouth, let alone any information. The cave is unfortunately only 1 room, so disappointment was great. It was not mentioned in the booking that you have to take the cable car up to the castle, which is very bad if you are afraid of heights. So we had to wait at the bottom until the other guests came back after sunset, which is exactly why we booked the tour. We then canceled the tour because of this. Unfriendly, no information, no German, facts are concealed... Conclusion: Big disappointment and not worth…”
Roman theater in Aspendos, seaside ruins in Side, and a cool stop at Manavgat Waterfalls, with lunch and hotel pickup.
“Shocked by the level of knowledge from our guide and the vast history surrounding ancient city and aspendos. Great tour. Long day but worth it. Be sure to wear trainers as terrain is hard going, and take water. You are out for 2 hours in the hot sun in ancient city.”

“Really dangerous practice, I’ve been scuba diving several times in other in countries and this was the worst experience. Wet suits didn’t fit. Spent ages driving round collecting the staff. There was no snorkelling only 1 really quick dive. All over before midday and most of that time there was in a van.”
Alanya’s mini city tour blends a cable car ride, castle views at sunset, and key sights like Red Tower, plus an optional cave stop.
“Tour guide was not interested in the tour at all. He did not provide us with any usefull information about the city and plases we visited. His attitued was pretty unprofessional. Do not waste your money on this tour.”
Alanya city tour with castle views, Damlataş Cave, Suleymaniye Mosque, and free time at Cleopatra Beach. Optional cable car.
“Great first trip to do in Turkey. Picked up from our hotel and drove to a plaza with the caves, beach, and bazaar. We were given free time after an intro by our fabulous guide Cemil, where we looked in the caves and bought some souvenirs. We then took the cable car to the top and wandered around the castle as a group before more free time to explore. So many friendly cats. Cecil stayed near to take pictures and explain history of the mosque. We then drove to the "I love Alanya" sign with Kristina who took more pictures of us with the skyline. A brilliant few hours and…”

Alanya adventure day mixing white-water rafting or Selge ruins with Eagle (Tazı) Canyon views, 4x4 safari, and lunch—easy value.
“Hello Eric. The tour was fantastic. The pick up was on time and the white water rafting experience was exceptional with our excellent guide/captain/boss Erol who guided us down the river giving lots of interesting information as we went as well as making it great fun. The food at lunch was tasty and fresh. Then we had the jeep safari up to the canyon, again great fun, felt very safe and the various view points were spectacular. It was a long day but absolutely worth it. Great value for money and a tour we would recommend everyone to experience.”
