About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- carter123440 contributionsCancelled by tour operator PaylessBooked via trip advisor No mention of distance or area pick up. Tour operator refused to pick up from mamaris cancelled themselves. Disappointing watch out for thisWritten October 30, 2024
- 282russc0 contributionsDalaman White Water RaftingBrilliant family activity, family of 5 all in the same raft with a great fun skipper who made us work hard but played hard too. Rapids big, water warm, safe fun for all. 11 and 14yr old 3 adults loved it. Hightly recommended and a definite do again activityWritten September 12, 2024
- rezamC565QN0 contributionsBad experienceThere’s not safe especially an old man holding a camera just think about taking pictures he is not a good leader. we have so many times fallen down on the water and safe jackets are very old.Written September 8, 2024
- ryszardw9810 contributionsGreat tour!! Definitely Recomend !!!Very much money worth trip!!! Guide Michalina- very entertaining, very kind and helpful, she deserve pay rise from the boss!!! We saw twice as much than on the other trip with another firm! Lunch - definitely fulfilling! You won’t eat more after! Great service and drink prices quite ok! Drinks in the coach - definitely cheaper than anywhere else! Definitely recommend!!Written July 31, 2024
- eliyaroam0 contributionsAncient relics and historical resources are rare in this world of fundamentalism.Thanks to the Turkish administration.This is a great tribute to the Turkish administration for having preserved the past relic of history. Fundamentalism and fundamentalist have always meant as a threat to the story of man. The site of mother Mary house is a symbolic appreciation of cultural valuesWritten July 30, 2024
- nbassist0 contributionsMy favourite in TurkiyeAnother vacation in Turkiye and more trips with Metin Tour. Two years ago I visited Cappadocia and this year we explored the beautiful Tazi Canyon and enjoyed a local tour. A wide selection of tours and activities, excellent organization and a great atmosphere during the trips. Highly recommend!Written July 23, 2024

- Pascalina12340 contributionsDive into historyWe loved the tour. We enjoyed the crystal and clear water of Kekova island , the boat stopped to swim in the water , Saint Nicholas church dated from the 6th century , a lot of informations given from tour guide Hassan about Saint Nicholas , The interesting ancient Myra city . So if you love history and same time swimming , I recommend you to do this tour .Written July 13, 2024
- Terri L0 contributionsA lovely way to see this beautiful part of Turkey.Very organised tour with friendly and helpful staff. We went to some beautiful swimming spots. The boat itself was very comfortable with plenty of shade.Written July 11, 2024
- corinaelsom0 contributionsSunset boat tripAmazing sunset boat trip swimming in the ocean, evening meal on board amazing sites on the boat for about 4.5 hours drinks on board payable at the end by cash or card very cheap.Written June 17, 2024
- 877melisap0 contributionsWorth a visit as much more for your money then advertised!Easy to organise transfer to and from boat, boat was comfy could have done with more shaded areas of seating on top of the boat as unfortunately a family of 4 had taken up 4 sunbeds/cushions and about 6 seats in the shade which meant other people were forced to sit in the sun, we stopped at a lot more bays then mentioned which was great, it was extremely hot (heat wave about 20c warmer then meant to be) so didn’t explore either of the places that was actually mentioned in the tour. Also recommend researching about butterfly valley as when we arrived, people from other tours who were coming away from the butterfly area were saying going in wasn’t worth it because it isn’t butterfly season.Written June 16, 2024
- jasper t0 contributionsPammukale and Cleopatra PoolsLong tour Pammukale is the most featured so spend more time coz you only got 3 hours. Cleopatra Pools was disappointment knowing Roman Bath is renowned for its clean aqueducts but too many slimmy moss floating clear warm water and such a small pool so too cramp with tourist.Written June 15, 2024

This tour was brilliant. There were 9 of us aged between 2 and 68 and we all had a lovely time. Our guide, Kadir, was a very good guide telling us information about Turkey and the region we were visiting. He was willing to answer any questions we had.
Cable car - unfortunately when we arrived at this attraction, due to some technical problems, the cable car was not running. We were very disappointed but Kadir called the Metin Tours office and they arranged an alternative for us instead. We went to Antalya and had a boat trip which was very good. Lovely views.
Antalya Old Town - Kadir took us for a walk around the old town, pointing out various sights and giving lots of local information. He gave us advice on how to handle local people wanting to sell to us etc, which was very handy at times. We had free time to explore by ourselves and get something to eat in the local restairants and bars.
Duden waterfalls - this was an impressive waterfall to see. We parked up in the near by car park and walked to the arraction. Was only a few minutes. Again Kadir was very helpful giving us advice about local photographers. We didn't spend very long here, maybe less than 1 hour. There is a play park for small children under the age of 12ish.
On the journey home there was a road closure but this was no problem for the driver who took us on a local back road as a diversion. This we enjoyed as we got to see the 'real' Turkey where the farmers and workers live and work.
We would highly recommend this tour to any person or group of people.

I would like to give the Pacho tour a thumbs up. Isaac has been absolutely fabulous during our time in Turkey. He offered us great tours at cheaper prices than the hotels and shared so much knowledge of Turkey with us even pointing us in the right directions to not be overcharged as is with all tourists around Antalya. He is around the corner from the Titanic hotel and always there to assist no matter what even if it's just questions not related to his tours.
The tours were great and the food was absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much

Started off being picked up outside our hotel was then sat on the coach for what seemed like hours collecting random people from different locations, finally arrived at the waterfall to be told we have 30 minutes here once this had been explained in German, Turkish, another language I think then in English which was not very good English to be honest, so enough time to take a couple of photos and pay to go to the toilet, all the time worrying about being back to the coach on time, we then sat back on the coach for what seemed like hours again to drop people off in Antalya for their free time as these people were not going to the cable car, then sat on the coach once again to drive to the sea life centre for the people who were going there (none of this was advertised in the itinerary of our booked trip), we then drove on for longer finally reaching the advertised cable car which we had booked to then be told we have 1 hour here which was about 20 minutes at the top as the cable car takes 13 minutes to reach the top and 13 minutes back down so just about enough time at the top to take a couple of photos and have a drink, so back on the coach we go drifting in and out of sleep due to being sat on this for hours and hours to pick people up from the sea life centre to then be dropped off in the busiest part of Antalya you can imagine and ushered straight in to a clothes shop and told we have nearly 3 hours here, all this time on the coach and visiting places very briefly we were very hungry but walking out of this shop which was the meeting point to get back on the coach (funny how the guide knew all the shop owners and gave us all discount cards) we were desperate for something to eat but everywhere was rammed with people and the food hanging on skewers outside in 30 degree heat did not look very appealing so we finally found a burger king, we then made our way back to the meeting point (yes the shop) and was surrounded by 3 or 4 of the shop owners to spend money, it seemed like this was the main part of the trip not the sight seeing we signed up for, so back on the coach for another 2 hours to be dropped back at our hotel absolutely exhausted from being sat on a coach for about 5 hours of of the 8 hour "sight seeing tour", all in all very disappointing and was not worth the money myself, wife and 2 daughters paid for this.

The Pick Up was prompt. The bus soon filled up and was very uncomfortable for the numbers (around 30)
The trip from Side to Antalya took around 2 hours. There was alot of commentary on the way, unfortunately for us it was 90% German and a little English commentary.
Much like the rest of Antalya and Side, Germans are very well catered for. Common theme.
After dropping off in Antalya Old Town and The Aquarium, we made our way to the Cable Car. Which was a nice experience, but quite rushed. The cable car takes 10 minutes each way, and we had 40 minutes there. So a quick run around the top of the mountain and we needed to leave.
On returning to Antalya, we were Shepherded through 'Best Bazaar'. Which seems to be affiliated with the tour operator. They offered us 15% off and said they had the best prices. Coupled with being endorsed by the tour operator, we thought that would be a great place to shop, so didn't buy clothes elsewhere. Turns out they, much like most places in this area, take advantage of tourists not knowing the money. VERY EXPENSIVE.
Unfortunately, being British, we have not been conditioned to be Thieves likes the Turks. So we paid and promptly left.
Bus was late picking us up and subsequently broke down. So this review is being written on the side of a motorway.
We had a special dinner reservation booked at our hotel and could only get 7pm. Which we will now miss. I messaged thw tour operator to ask very nicely if they could contact the hotel for me as I can't use my Turkish Sim for anything but data. Was told 'We can't help you'
Sums it up.
If you want to see anyalya, choose another operator or find your own way there. Very expensive and robbed blind by their mates in Best Bazaar.
Would not recommend
