Really enjoyable day exploring these hidden gems. The ancient city had amazing panoramic views and the cave was spectacular. My only complaint is that we didn't get enough time at the river I could have spent hours there. Guide was knowledgeable but sometimes hard to hear in the cave. Great value for money overall.

The ancient ruins were interesting but not very stroller friendly. Kids loved the cave but got tired on the walk back up. River lunch stop was nice but service was slow. Guide was patient with children but focused more on adult interests. Okay experience but not ideal for younger families.

As an archaeology student, I found Syedra absolutely fascinating better preserved than many famous sites. The cave was an unexpected highlight with its impressive formations. Lunch by the river was the perfect break. Our guide's expertise really enhanced the experience. One of the best day tours I've taken in Turkey.

This tour was the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Walking through Syedra Ancient City felt like stepping back in time—the views from the hilltop alone are worth the trip. Dim Cave was completely different but equally impressive; the formations were surreal, and the underground lake added something magical. We ended the day sitting by the Dim River, dipping our feet in the water while enjoying a tasty local lunch. It felt like three experiences rolled into one.

We joined this trip as a family of four, and everyone enjoyed it. The ancient city was fascinating, though my teens lost interest a little quicker than I did. Dim Cave was the highlight for them—it’s hard not to be impressed by those stalactites and the cool air inside. Lunch by the river was very pleasant, though service was a bit slow since it was busy. Still, it was a nice balance of learning, exploring, and relaxing.

As a solo traveler, I appreciated how well-organized everything was. The guide explained the history of Syedra in an engaging way, and I never felt rushed while walking around the ruins. Dim Cave was breathtaking—I must have taken dozens of photos inside. By the time we reached the river for lunch, it was exactly what I needed. Eating with the sound of flowing water in the background was the most peaceful part of my trip so far.

We were a group of friends looking for something different from the beach, and this tour delivered. The ancient city was interesting, though it required a bit of imagination since much of it is in ruins. Dim Cave, however, was stunning—we all agreed it was the best part. The river stop was lovely, though we would have liked a little more time to just sit and relax. Overall, a really enjoyable day out.

We weren’t sure how our younger kids would do on a tour like this, but it turned out great. The ancient city was short enough to keep them engaged, and the guide did a good job of explaining things simply. Dim Cave felt like a real-life adventure for them, and they loved spotting shapes in the rocks. Lunch by the Dim River was a hit too—the kids played by the water while we enjoyed a calm meal. A surprisingly family-friendly trip.

We really enjoyed the day overall. The ruins of Syedra were atmospheric, but we visited during the midday sun, which made it quite hot for walking. Dim Cave was a cool escape, both literally and figuratively—it was fascinating inside. The lunch at Dim River was delicious, though seating was a bit crowded. Still, the combination of history, nature, and relaxation made it a well-rounded trip.
