You'll combine sightseeing and shopping on this Antalya tour with a difference. Get the lowdown on the best gold from the region, visit Antalya Aquarium and enjoy a guided tour through the old town with some free time to bargain for souvenirs.

First stop on the tour is the Jewellery Centre where you'll learn all about local gold and why it's such a popular choice before heading to Antalya Aquarium. Here you'll walk through the world's longest Aquarium tunnel and discover a wide range of marine species from all over the planet. The next part of the tour begins in Antalya's old town. And there's also a visit to Antalya's wax museum to look forward to.

Follow your guide deep into the warren of cobbled streets of Kaleici, Antalya's historic centre, discovering ancient architecture and monuments that take you back through the centuries. To finish the afternoon, you'll have some free time to explore the narrow streets and shop for souvenirs.

The visit to the gold and diamond centre is nothing more than a lurid tourist trap and a complete waste of time in what could otherwise be a lovely day. The aquarium itself is overrated. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic but there was too much messing about with busses in the morning to collect guests of different languages. I booked an English language tour so we didn’t have to do that.

I wasn't told about the gold centre jewellers - I would not take my children to that jewellers if I had known and it was a complete waste of an hour and a half! We were tired by the time we reached the aquarium. The old town was nice but they should have known it was a marathon that day as the journey took another hour! A very, very long day that we were not told to prepare for!

The gold centre visit was unnecessary and was a very pressured selling environment. The jewellery was extremely expensive and it sounded more like an advertising sales pitch rather than an experience. I though we may have seen how the jewellery was made etc. Even at the end we were pressured all the way through the shop to buy tea or fake fragrances. It was quite unpleasant and I was relieved to leave.

Didn’t like the visit to the jewellery store too pressurised. Less time shopping and more time in the old town would improve the trip greatly

The first place we went to was a jewellery centre where we were assigned a personal salesman who tried to sell us jewellery persistently and it was very uncomfortable. The exits in each room were hidden. We were in here for 90 minutes and this ruined the experience. The aquarium was good, the wax works were amusing! The time in Antalya was great although again we were taken to a clothes shop for another hard sell before we got free time. Old town was beautiful

I'm writing to express my disappointment and frustration with our Tui trip to Antalya yesterday. The day didn't meet our expectations, and we felt misled by the itinerary. The jewellery manufacturer's shop visit was overwhelming and pressured, making us feel uncomfortable. The sealife centre was too noisy, with no consideration for those wanting to enjoy the experience. The old town trip was rushed.
