Decent but tough for seniors. Saklikent's walk was slippery and crowded; I waited at the café. Tlos required steep climbs in heat. Patara Beach time felt too short (45 mins). Lunch was tasty but rushed. Knowledgeable guide, but spoke fast for non-natives. Good for active travelers, less so for limited mobility.

Lads trip fun! Saklikent rafting was pure adrenaline. Gorge walk felt shorter than expected though. Lunch hit the spot with kebabs and beer. Tlos was impressive 'Gladiator' vibes, but more ruins meant less beach time. Patara was glorious, quick dip only. Great craic overall.

Solid, but pacing off. Loved Saklikent wade & rafting! Lunch tasty but slow, cutting Tlos time short. Ruins spectacular but rushed. Patara Beach needed more than 50 mins – barely a dip! Guide informative but focused on photos. Great variety for price. Power bank advised.
