Half Day Alanya City Tour With Cable Car

Had a really great half day city tour with John and Anna. They were awesome guides, super friendly and full of interesting info. I would definitely suggest doing this tour with them. It was a solid experience and totally worth it. If you are in Alanya, this is one thing you should not skip. There is so much history, culture, and some incredible views. Big thanks to John and Anna again. Hope to cross paths with you both sometime soon.

Good trip overall. The cave was a bit underwhelming, we were only inside for around 10 minutes. Cleopatra Beach is lovely, but there were quite a few cigarette butts scattered around. It would be better if smoking wasn’t allowed there. The elevator ride was really fun, and the castle visit was definitely a highlight. The sunset view from the ''I love Alanya'' sign was stunning.

We were picked up in a bus that barely had any air conditioning, even though it was over 30 degrees outside. We originally booked the tour without the cable car, but quickly realised that didn’t make much sense since the castle and the cave were really the only stops. You pretty much have to choose one or the other. We ended up paying extra for the cable car to the castle, but it wasn’t very engaging and not ideal if you have young kids with you. This felt less like a guided tour and more like a lift to Alanya. There wasn’t much information shared about the history, and we were mostly left to explore on our own. There were three people running things: the driver, someone who walked us between spots, and a guide who actually gave the commentary. The guide was clear and easy to understand, but the other two didn’t really explain anything. The person leading us around kept rushing, even though there were young kids in the group who couldn’t keep up. At one point, the driver even managed to lock himself out of the van. On the bright side, the views were gorgeous and perfect for photos, but overall, the experience wasn’t worth the money or the time.

We really enjoyed the Alanya half day city tour with the cable car. John and his wife were fantastic guides super kind, informative, and always ready to help. The scenery from the top was stunning, combining amazing views with a touch of history. If you're visiting Alanya, this tour should definitely be on your list.

The guide and his wife were both really friendly and welcoming. The castle was absolutely beautiful and definitely something you should see if you're in Antalya. We also stopped by the cave and Cleopatra Beach. The scenery throughout was amazing.

Great tour overall. Really enjoyed our time in Alanya. Booking was simple and everything was clearly communicated. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Anna and John were fantastic. Our hotel was a bit outside Alanya and wasn’t on the list, but after a quick message, we got confirmation that the transfer was still fine. We ended up paying about the same as a taxi for a round trip from Alanya, so this felt like great value for anyone wanting a quick tour without spending hours in the heat. We enjoyed some amazing views, visited the castle, and checked out the Damlatas caves near Cleopatra Beach. Overall, it was exactly what we were looking for, with friendly and helpful guides. Just perfect!

Really good trip! It’s not great if you have trouble walking because there’s a climb up the hill after the cable car. Otherwise, I definitely recommend it. Also got to see some goats and cats along the way.

Really fun experience. The teenagers enjoyed the music on the way. Wish we had more time to explore the castle, and unfortunately, we missed the sunset.

Helpful? Yes

Nice people. The cable car ride felt a bit short, I was hoping it would last longer. But besides that, the views of the city were really good. By the time we arrived, the sunset was almost over.

Helpful? Yes

It was a fun experience! The English speaking guide was really friendly and chatty, which made it enjoyable. The views were incredible. Eric, who handled our booking, was also very friendly and helpful.

We had a great trip, picked up right on time from our hotel in an open air bus that seats about 12 people at 4:30 pm. We visited the viewpoint, Damlatas Caves, enjoyed the sunset from the beach, then took the cable car up to the castle. It was a nice 3 to 4 hour introduction to the town and its main sights. The night view from the castle was amazing. We got back to our hotel just after 8 pm. Definitely recommend this tour.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was well planned and ran without any issues. After booking, Eric got in touch and shared all the info we needed. We appreciated having plenty of free time while still getting to see a lot. Everyone was friendly, from the driver to the guide. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

Helpful? Yes

Amazing panoramic views and fascinating landmarks. The cable car was a nice bonus, and the sunset views were truly stunning. Everything was well organized.

Helpful? Yes

There were no seat belts and the driving was quite fast, which made me nervous several times during the ride. We never actually reached the viewpoint we were aiming for because the driver tried a few times but had to turn back before finally giving up and driving down. They played music very loudly and the driver was quite aggressive on the road. The driver himself was very friendly. The ride was enjoyable, but it would have been much better with a newer vehicle and seat belts for safety. We did get to see a lot of Alanya, and the gondola ride was okay. Still, I wouldn’t do this trip again.

Helpful? Yes

The music was way too loud, which was really unpleasant and felt quite disrespectful. The stops were very short too just 15 minutes total for Damlatas Cave and Cleopatra Beach, and about an hour at the castle. The driver was definitely fast. We didn’t mind, but if you prefer a slower pace, this isn’t the tour for you. I wouldn’t recommend it for kids either. There was no historical information given during the tour at all. Our advice would be to visit Cleopatra Beach and Damlatas Cave on your own since they’re close together. Spend an afternoon there, then take a short cab ride to the cable car it’s only about five minutes away. After that, take the cable car up and explore the castle at your own pace, since it’s quite big. You can grab a meal at the castle or somewhere in the Alanya center. Honestly, we think doing it yourself would be more enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

The views were incredible, and the cable car ride is definitely worth it to see the best scenery. The price was quite reasonable, and you’ll come away with some great memories.

Helpful? Yes

This tour was fantastic. We took tons of photos because the views were stunning. The cable car wasn’t expensive, and the ride up and down was great, especially with the sunset and the city lights at night. The castle was amazing too, and the Damlataş cave was really interesting. Eric from Alanya City Tours handled my booking perfectly. I’d recommend this to everyone.
