The Aspendos acoustics demonstration was extraordinary — the guide dropped a coin on stage and we heard it clearly from the top row. Perge was equally impressive. A must for history lovers.

Better than any Roman site we have seen in Italy. The colonnaded street at Perge is stunning. Aspendos theatre is jaw-dropping. Our guide was a qualified archaeologist and it showed.

I am a history teacher and this tour exceeded my expectations. The guide's knowledge was incredible. Saved £9 with the pass too.
