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

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

Disappointed

It was the second time for us visiting the opera festival in beautiful Aspendos. Comparing the first ocassion this was disappointing. The transfer arrived only appr. 15 min before the event (Madama Butterfly) started. It took 10 minutes for the guide to collect the tickets. Only one (!) ticket office worked for the guides and for the private costumers. Unless I bought better seats in the arena (+ 20 €) all the seats were occupated, no ticket controller "you can sit anywhere" was the answer when I asked about our sector... The audience was very mixed, full of with arrogant people, sit on two places etc. The performance was good as it could be. Sometimes the brass section was too loud , pushing everything over. The stage, and the costumes were brilliant! Anyway with a little better organising, and with adopting some theather routine this program would've been really astonished.

Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!

We apologize for the inconvenience. We cannot pick up our customers from hotels earlier so that our customers can have dinner at their hotels. If we make an early pick-up at your hotel, then you will not be able to get dinner at your hotel. The trouble arose because of the bad organization of the festival committee. Also, no audience respects the numbered seating arrangement. In the past years, there was free seating, and there was no such chaos! We are very sorry though. From now on we will try to provide faster pick-up from hotels and faster, earlier arrivals in Aspendos. Best regards, Team Vigo Tours

Посещение оперы в Аспендосе

Легко заказала и оплатила 30% на сайте, прислали подтверждение, Приехали во время, были доступны для связи, доплатили а автобусе, была сдача, комфортно доставили. Небольшое ожидание на месте, вошли в театр уже после начала, хотелось бы немного запаса времени, чтоб освоиться в зале, выбрать место. Опера была прекрасна, Аспендос великолепен. Дорога назад была также комфортной. Рекомендую.

Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!

Мы рады, что вы остались довольны посещением «Мадам Баттерфляй» в Аспендосе. В этом году на фестивале в Аспендосе случаются неприятности из-за плохой организации фестивального комитета. Мы сделаем необходимые предупреждения компетентным органам, и с этого момента мы постараемся быть там быстрее. С наилучшими пожеланиями, Виго Туры

Madame Butterfly in Aspendos am 10.09.21

Wir waren etwas zu spät in Aspendos, so daß vor Beginn der Veranstaltung keine Zeit blieb, sich einen geeigneten Platz zu suchen.

Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir entschuldigen uns dafür, dass wir das Aspendos-Theater nicht früher betreten können. Dies liegt daran, dass wir unsere Gäste nicht früher von Hotels abholen möchten, um sicherzustellen, dass sie in ihren Hotels zu Abend essen. Von nun an werden wir versuchen, eine schnellere Abholung von Hotels zu ermöglichen und schnell nach Aspendos zu gelangen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Team VigoTours
