Excellent selection of places and great tour guide. - Really good tour. We went to Perge, Aspendos, Manavgat waterfall and Side. Cigil, our tour guide, was fantastic and Mehmet, the driver was also very good. Cigil is very knowledgeable and talks just the right amount, enough to engage you. We had sufficient time for ourselves too. Would highly recommend this day tour.

Two slow travelers enjoying our tour to Perge - Antalya was our 3rd city in the 3rd week of our month visit to Turkey. Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya, then Cappadocia. We already had two terrible hired drivers, by other companies, and were a little Leary. But relieved that our driver drove calmly without speeding. Our tour guide, nickname-Snowflake, was the consummate professional. She was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Just a joy to talk with about anything. Great sense of humor. We were given plenty of opportunities for photos and exploring. The history and stories along with language and cultural explanations were fascinating to hear. Booking this tour just one day early worked out great. Lunch was delicious. I recommend this company to everyone.

Recommended! - We had an excellent day out with our tour guide Cugil. She shared a lot of information about the history of each place visited, and some tips about local customs. Stops were beautiful, great for photos. Highly recommended if you have a day to spend in Antalya!

Amazing, informative and very good. - We had a really good trip today!
Two parents and a teenager, who even enjoyed herself and the youre (phew!)
Our guide was super informative and amazing!
A note to anyone staying in the Side area, this is the only tour on Tripadvisor that would allow us to book even though we weren’t staying in Antalya. We put our hotel and someone got in touch, and we paid an extra €60 euros, and the company sorted out a fancy taxi for us to meet the tour at the first location. We were happy to pay the extra, as without this, we wouldn’t have been able to go and see these amazing places.

Perge, Aspendos and Side with Mehmet - Thoroughly enjoyed our day with Mehmet guiding us through these wonderful ancient sites. Mehmet is extremely knowledgeable on the sites and their history, and gave great insight and background understanding to Anatalya and Turkiye during the tour. Enjoyed his company, talks and approach.
These are such rich historical sites (particularly Perge) that we intend to go back and explore further. Thank you to Levent, who organised the trip and was wonderful as well. We highly recommend this trip and Mehmet as guide.

Well worth it - Very informative trip, there were quite a few things we would have missed if we had booked the trip ourselves. We had originally planned to only go to Perge, but now I am very glad that we booked this trip especially seeing Aspendos and Side.

Wonderful sites, amazing guide! Thanks, Solymos! - This was the best archaeological tour I’ve taken, and I’ve taken several. Solymos Travel was very professional and punctual. I was picked up in front of my hotel at the arranged time and taken to the tour van (Old Town Antalya has streets too narrow for tour vans). The small group tour (18) began on time and in a new and cool van (temperature cool). I enjoyed each and every stop, where our knowledgeable and amiable guide, Ercan (Air-John), led the group for about 15 minutes or so, explaining many points of interest before then allowing us free time to explore on our own. Ercan was also very funny and considerate. He even bought 36 small bottles of water, two for each of us, at the very start of the tour. No guide/tour has ever done that for me before. Perge, Aspendos, Side, and Manavgat Waterfall are sites you must see while in Antalya, Side and Manavgat Waterfall especially, and Solymos is the tour company that will offer you a wonderful experience. And the price is a ridiculously good deal!

Great tour with good time management and a great guide. - We don't usually do tours but made an exception as we were only in the area for a few days. This was one of the best we've been on in terms of size, tour guide quality as well as how much time they allow at each spot. I thought we packed a lot in visiting each location and the balance between guiding us around and letting us wander on our own was good.
The only issue I did have was the price they charged extra for picking us up from Belek, it is stated but it's pretty small and the price of 60 euros was a bit steep.
