Very poor travel organization. We had several waiting times. The biggest was almost 40 minutes to a gas station. A total of almost 2 hours of additional waiting time on the bus without a ride. No information why. We chose an excursion with a guide in English and Russian because we are English speakers and only a fraction of what the guide said in Russian was translated to us. In addition, in a description of the excursion we were offered half an hour of bathing time, but our excursion guide actually shortened it by 10 minutes. Although we had saved time by shortening other activities, our last excursion to the ancient city of Myra was shortened so that we were not able to visit this old town in peace. Instead, we have to rush back to the bus so that we don't arrive too late. Furthermore, when one of us had to go to the toilet and didn't find any paper in the toilet and asked the guide if she could get him a paper, she cheekily replied: He should buy it in the shop. The highlight of the whole story was when we drove back home to the hotel, the guide simply dropped the wrong tourist off at the wrong hotel and of course, as information for all of us who were on the bus, said that it was the fault of those who had gotten off person was. For this reason, we as a whole bus crew had to drive back to Antalya and lost an additional 1.5 hours to swap these people so that we could get to their hotel. A clear no for this tour guide and for this travel agency we expressly do not recommend it.
