“One of the best day trips we have had! The pick up (by Hadrian's gate), the journey and the drop off were all smooth. The van had free bottled water. The guide was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable which helped us enjoy every place that we visited so much more! The guide also offered to take photos for everyone. Perge was more impressive than we expected, although we wish we had a bit more time for free exploration. The stop at the aqueduct and having some freshly squeezed pomegranate and orange juice was a pleasant surprise (we paid 100-150tl for a cup). Then we had a lunch which included a buffet…”

“This tour was great for one reason, Genghis. This is the guide to make all others irrelevant. His knowledge, authority, and passion simply made this tour. No doubt the ancient city of Perge was spectacular, the Aspendos theatre breathtaking, and the rustic town of Side, and the nearby Manavgat Waterfall really lovely places to visit, but it was Genghis who brought them all to life.
