(5.0)Assendon Opera & Ballet Festival
Having never been to an opera before, the opportunity to go to one and in such a spectacular setting, was too good to turn down. Easy to book, transfers arranged to and from hotel to and all on time. If you are in Side, Turkey during this festival, you have to go...you will not be disappointed. A truly great experience.

(5.0)La traviata
Absolute superb preference of La Traviata, in an unbelievable venue. Aspendos is just stunning. The accustics were superb, to think the amphitheatre was build 2000 years ago is mind blowing. Would definitely recommend booking ( Would definitely go again)

(4.0)Good night out, but
The opera in an outdoor amphitheatre is amazing and something you should experience. The communication from the organisers was good, picked up within five minutes of the stated time. The bus has seen better days, one of the seats I sat in was moving back and forth when it should have been stationary. Be aware that the cost of. Tickets to the opera is 70tl each, which is an amazing price, but be aware of that when paying over 650tl each for the excursion. Be aware when walking around the amiphitheatre, the surface is rough and there are holes around the outside of the car park, it is very dark and can be dangerous. The theatre itself is an ancient style building and can also be dangerous. Top tip, take a cushion with you to sit in. The event was great, just be aware of the costs and the surrounds
Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!
Thank you very much for your review, but we must emphasize that besides the Aspendos opera and ballet entrance ticket, touristic transportation costs are much more important. In other words, touristic transportation costs in Turkey are very expensive. You can do a little experiment to know about it. Best regards, Vigo Tours

(4.5)Aspendos festival
The performance was great and wonderful. The driver came and picked me up near the hotel. He didn't speak english. He took tickets and we went for entry. No instructions about tickets and places. No instructions where should we find our bus after performance. But we found our bus on the parking. But everything is ok
Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!
This year, we had problems at the Aspendos festival due to the organizational errors of the festival committee. Everyone experienced serious problems with the seating arrangement in the ancient theater. No audience could sit in the seats written on their tickets. We reported these problems, which were beyond our control, to the officials of the Turkish Ministry of Tourism. We hope that these problems will not occur next year. Best regards, Team Vigo Tour
