Alanya, tours in street agencies, prices
Good afternoon, many people prefer to buy sightseeing tours on the street, it's much cheaper.
If someone has already traveled this year, could you list the approximate prices for the various excursions that they offer (or the prices as you went):
Pamukkale, Mira-Kekova, Cappadocia, Ephesus, ATVs, a yacht, maybe there are some other excursions ...
Thanks in advance for your replies.

I want to tell you right away that if you go on excursions through a street agency, you won’t save much, and even fray your nerves.
аватар smay28
it is better to bargain with the guides. And go calmly, without nerves.

This is not my first time in Turkey, and I always take it on the street.
I'm interested in prices this year and only.
I save a lot ... the same rafting at Tez-Tour is $ 55 and on the street $ 15 ... but it was like that last year.

It may be cheaper, but not as reliable as with your own tour operator. Once in a while it doesn't have to. I do not know with which company you travel, but you can discuss the price of the issue with them. Many offer, for example, combined tours at a discount.
In May, we thus visited Aspendos and the waterfall in Manavgat, after sitting for two hours at the jewelry factory (which is also interesting, by the way). But for 10 euros. It's about current prices. :)

We had it for free last year: we drove through 3 shopping centers (we stocked up there as well) + lunch + waterfall .. and it was free (probably guides have% of purchases made in shopping centers).
Once again I repeat, I do not ask to advise me tours from a tour operator, I ask those who travel wild with local agencies.

I always take tours in street agencies, and I am always satisfied, I don’t see the point in overpaying and buying from a guide. Never got on my nerves. In addition, street agencies, as well as guides, have insurance. I just returned from Kemer. Prices for excursions have risen in price.
аватар zemakmk
this year, the tour guides of the usual type of rafting have risen in price by $ 10, it turns out if it was $ 15 on the street that year, then $ 25 this year. draw your own conclusions (as it was in May).

Thank you very much for the information! I also never spoiled my nerves with street agencies, everything was fine. I will plan my budget taking into account the increase

before the trip, you can buy a travel sim roaming card. from Turkey you will call home for 55 cents.

Last year I bought a Vodafone card for calls from ATM. Audibility is much better than if you call from a mobile phone. A card for 50 units cost $ 5. If you call from it to landline numbers, then somewhere around 1-1.5 units per minute, to a mobile phone - 5 times more expensive. This year I want to call in the same way, more convenient and better heard.

And I almost every year have a rest in Alanya (I love this city) and constantly buy excursions at the Bonbini travel agency. It is located next to the small Migros supermarket. Ask Tatyana. Very sociable and kind girl. Always contact her if you have any questions. All excursions with insurance and of course with a Russian-speaking guide. everything is already checked. I advise you will not regret
аватар solar724
svetik793, can you tell me a good hammam in Alanya? I don’t want a conveyor, I want to get high-quality services, with an individual approach. We're going in 2 weeks, now I'm studying the Internet in search of an answer to this question. Thank you in advance.

There is always a risk of getting into an unpleasant situation on vacation. Neither those who purchase excursions from a tour operator, nor those who use the services of street agencies are insured from this. But when it comes to a price difference of about 30-40%, especially if you are traveling with a family of 4, then the savings come out decent. For the price of 1 excursion from the tour operator, you can go on 2 excursions from the street agency. At the same time, the quality and volume of services will be the same - checked! There is something to think about.
Of course, we are not talking about the fact that you need to carry your money to the first street agency that comes across. You need to choose already proven, with an established reputation and a permanent client base, choose according to reviews and recommendations.

My family and I have been choosing Alanya and its surroundings for holidays for many years. And for the last few years, I have not had a question where to buy excursions. Based on the recommendations of friends, we found our seller, whom I contact on the eve of the vacation, receive a fresh price list by mail, choose what I am interested in, book and come to rest already knowing exactly when and on what excursion I will go. Payment is made already on the spot directly at the beginning of the tour. So I don't risk anything. I would not like to jinx it, but in the five years that I have been using the services of this agency, no unpleasant situations have arisen during the tours. Only positive emotions remain in the memory of our family.
If anyone is interested, the agency is called Alanya Daily Trip. The owner's name is Pasha, he is Turkish, but speaks good Russian. His e-mail is [email protected]. I recommend him to all my friends and will recommend him as a supplier of reliable and high-quality entertainment for me and my family.

I agree with Anjelka76!
We also turn to Pasha all the time. Very friendly and decent guy. And it always works well. On the last visit, we bought the Demre-Mira-Kekova tour, the departure was planned for 4 in the morning. And late in the evening on the eve of the trip, they changed the check-out time to a later one. So Pasha tried to get through to us on Whatsapp, and by regular communication, but our phone was turned off. As a result, I got through to the room, worried that we would sleep for half an hour more)) And then we went to Sapadera and bought a DVD with photos from the trip. When they returned home, they tried to look, but the disk turned out to be not working. Got upset, of course. The trip was so amazing, we thought the photos would remain as a keepsake. We contacted Pasha, he found a photographer and our photos and sent us everything by e-mail))
