City of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for the kind words, looking forward to seeing you in Turkey once again in the future.Trip date: June 2025- EBElizabeth· June 10th, 2025The tour was advertised as 'Small Group' max 16 people. There were 23 people on our tour! The optional tour in Antalya advertises a 'cable car trip to see Tunektepe'. It transpires the cableway has been closed for 2 years. Surely websites should be updated accordingly.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for the feedback and review, Elizabeth. We hope to see you again in the future.
