Is Romanov Tour in Side reliable for day trips, and is it worth booking excursions there?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Romanov Tour can be US$10–20 cheaper than other sellers, but it appears to resell trips run by local operators, so buses, guides and logistics can vary. Green Canyon 5-in-1 received positive feedback, while a Tazı Canyon and Selge trip had major transfer issues.
What the community said
The Green Canyon 5-in-1 excursion booked through Romanov Tour was reviewed positively: the guide was engaging, and moving lunch from before to after the lake cruise did not affect the overall experience.

An Alanya trip used a shared coach with two guides. The English-language guide was described as lively and informative, while the Russian-language guiding was weak, suggesting that the experience depends heavily on the assigned guide and group.

For the Tazı Canyon and ancient Selge route, travelers reported poor logistics: a long hotel pickup, a cramped minibus instead of the expected coach, and too few seats for the return transfer. If booking this route, confirm the vehicle type, tour language and return-transfer arrangements in advance.

Romanov Tour was reported to charge around US$10–20 less for comparable excursions than other sellers. However, it does not appear to operate the tours itself, so customers may travel on the same buses with the same guides as people who booked elsewhere.
