“This was a lovely, private tour in a comfortable van with driver. We were picked up at the hotel so didn't have to worry about finding a meeting point. Our tour guide, Ayhan, provided a ton of fascinating historical information at each site. The pace was relaxed enough to not be exhausting. We were taken to a nice restaurant for lunch to try Turkish fare. The tour concluded with a visit to a Turkish carpet making store. On the one hand it was interesting to see/hear the explanation on the procedure, on the other, we didn't like being subjected to a sales pitch. If you don't want to be sold…”

My friend and I love taking photos, and sometimes it took us a bit of time to get the perfect shot, but he patiently waited for us and never rushed us, which we really appreciated! He also gave clear and interesting explanations about the history and background of each place, and even brought us to a nice souvenir shop. Overall, he was very kind and made our experience enjoyable. We really appreciate his guidance and would recommend him to others!”

Review of Marmaris’ full-day Dalyan tour, with mud baths, river cruise, Turtle Beach, lunch, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“A good trip, made excellent by the fact we got to snorkel with a turtle during the beach stop. Is a long journey, which felt longer on the way back, but was a good day all round. Mud bath was decent, and was just about enough time to let it dry and then shower off and sit in the mineral pool for a while. Lunch was acceptable and did the job! Drinks not unreasonable prices either. Boat trip was enjoyable. The captain was great and the tombs and crab stop were a nice addition. Then turtle beach. Was good to see a turtle from the jetty when we arrived, but…”
