This was a lovely trip which packed a lot into a day. The rock cut graves at Myra are fantastic and we had plenty of time to explore the site. The guide was friendly and informative. The boat trip out to the sunken city was beautiful.

It was an awesome tour, from the tour guide who was so informative and our driver who got us everywhere safe and sound. Turkey's history is amazing and this tour had much to love. I don't know what I loved most the visit to Myra Holy city. The boat ride and seeing Sieman Island, the Sunken city, watching people swim in the cove and topping it off with a visit to St Nicholas Church. I learned so much! We had a nice group of 9 people from all over the world. And we had a nice lunch at Santa Claus restaurant. I booked on line from the USA received confirmations right away and when I got here to Antalya old city Kaleici I was able to meet up with them as they were close to the hotel. They offer pick up and drop off too! I đź’Ż % recommend them if you want to take a tour around Antalya. Matter of fact I have one booked for tomorrow. Great guide great service couldn't ask for more

This tour was important to my wife as she is of orthodox faith and St Nicholas is an important figure in her faith. I found myself enjoying the tour more than I expected the swim around the island of kekova was wonderful and the visit to the Roman theatre spectacular. Both the managers and particularly the young lady who assists them can’t do enough to assist you in getting the best out of your stay. We want to visit Antalya again as there is much more to see than we managed in our stay and we will definitely use this company again. We both feel we made new friends in Solymos travel and hope to see them next summer

This was my first tour. I really enjoyed the boat trip to kekova. We then visited demre where saint Nicolas was the bichop. The church is stunning. I was amazed by the structure of it. Myra was my favorite. I didn't expect it to be like this. I think I am in love with the Roman sculptures in general and theater. What I didn't like was the lunch. It wasn't that good. The guide was very helpful.

Dreadful. Spent 14 hours out on a trip and 8 of those were on a coach (one hour collecting other guests). The guide was dreadful. He told us nothing. No idea what was what. He was bored and not interested. Went passed a sunken city and didn’t know as the boat guide spoke only Russian. Boring hellish day.

A great trip overall with a lot of ground covered during the day. Genghis the tour guide was knowledgeable and very personable, giving insight to the history of Turkey as a whole, and not just the places we visited. A memorable experience and a definite highlight of the holiday. Yunus at Solymos Travel made the process of booking so smooth with a very professional and friendly service. We loved Antalya and hope to return again soon. Solymos will be the first place we visit to make sure we book the best tours.

Yunus , the owner of Solymos Travel absolutely made our trip what it was ……… fabulous . He speaks good English which was extremely useful. He could not have been more helpful ……. His recommendations were excellent …….. including buying rugs ….. he drove us there….., good mezze restaurant…. He walked us there. In addition , he changed money when we realized what a rip off the ATM machines were, and he organized bus tickets to Lake Egirdir , and the day trip to Demre and Myra which was long but worth it. Thank you Yunus , and hope that you have a fantastic season. Sarah and Anna ( Canada)

The sites were incredible and a must-see, but not with this particular tour…we are English speakers and the tour was mostly in Russian. The food at lunch was also subpar and very rushed. Everything about the bus was also very uncomfortable as the air conditioning was broken, the seats were dirty, and the seatbelts don’t function.

We were in a minority English speaking group (10 out of 60+). The organization was chaotic and we had to change bus half to and return but little instruction was given. The guide talk a lot in Russian with no English interpretation in terms of instruction. During the tour the English explanation was more about looking left or right. Basically you pay to get someone to take you there. However, the Myra site was wonderful. We did not see much of the Sunken City as it was high tide when we were there.

The guide was very knowledgeable on his economy and history. We were expecting more of our day to be on water though and not stuck in a mini bus making regular stops at shops and industrial units that were places to eat with no charm or character to them. Food was mediocre unless you wanted to pay extra for it. The 4 is for the guide for his knowledge.

It was a splendid experience. Mesmerizing. Simply loved it. The boat trip in the Mediterranian with all shades of blue was a treat to the eyes. The sunken city, the necropolis, the huge amphitheatre all carried you to an enchanting experience of the past.

Super informative and convenient trip. Our guide Eren was really informative, fun and kind. He was soo patient, attentive and accommodative of all needs. He provided tons of information and created a walk down history lane making the experience absolutely unforgettable.

It was a nicely organized trip. The guide was very knowledgeable on the history and cultural aspects of the trip. Would recommend for a fun day out. Good to keep in mind that it is a long bus trip though. From our hotel in Lara, I took about 3-4 hrs one way. Still, it was worth it.

Not a pleasant experience, the bus broke down 15 min after the trip started. Had to wait for a while before the next bus arrived. This bus had Ver poor air conditioning, we were sweating through the whole journey. As the location was quite far away by the time we arrived there I was exhausted with heat. The sunken City was amazing but the journey was unpleasant. As we were returning from the journey I realised the air conditioning fan had not been opened and that was really annoying as we could have had an easier journey than we did.

Would not recommend. We signed up for an English guided tour but ended up on a bus with a Russian guide and English guide. The English guide did not talk at all, gave only basic information on what would happen next. While the Russian guide guided through st. Nichols church the rest walked by our self and waited the rest of the time in the bus. The places we visited were nice but would not recommend this guided tour.

It was a glimpse and a step in the past. We enjoyed out visit there. It was a privately arranged trip as we could not book a tour through an agency due to lack pf spaces available, so here is a friendly advice - book your trip in advance (available through Tripadvisor), do not wait for the last moment if you want to see this place.

We took a Yellow taxi from our hotel and agreed a price of TL 3000 which was approximately 175 usd. The driver MR. Mujahid is a young and energetic person who took good care of us during the entire trip. The drive from Antalya to Demre (Myra) is awesome with the deep blue Mediterranean spread out in front of you. You can even get out and enjoy the beaches. There’s nothing much to see at Myra with some ruins and a stadium. There is also a museum and the church of St. Nicholas. I have given this trip a 5 star rating because of the boat trip from Myra to see the ruins of the sunken city. We hired a private boat at an agreed price of TL 1200. But the trip is serene and really fantastic. Despite the long drive from Antalya and it being a very hot day, our family thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
