I had a wonderful time on this tour. The tour was the host Onder and myself so it was quite personable and fun. The host was informative, kind, and accommodating. The day was rainy so we met up a little early. He taught me so many things about the Old Town area and Turkish history/culture. He was knowledgeable about many topics and kept the tour lively, engaging, and genuine. I love the Old Town area with its cobblestone streets, historical sites and museums. I'm very happy I booked this tour. We passed a few larger commercial tour groups and I was very glad I had Onder to myself. The next time I visit Antalya, I will definitely book Onder for different tours around Antalya. Thank you Onder!We really enjoyed our tour with Onder.
