From start to finish, this was such a peaceful and enjoyable day. Although the pick-up was slightly delayed, they informed us in advance, which we appreciated. Our first stop was a short break at a coffee shop. Dimitri, our guide, managed two groups but always kept us informed and shared his extensive knowledge—5 stars to him! The mud baths were fantastic, offering four types of mud to try and cold yet refreshing showers, along with changing cubicles. Lunch was delicious, and then we boarded the boat for a relaxing ride. We passed the tombs, which Dimitri explained in detail, and even got to hold a blue crab (cooked crab was available for 450 TL). The highlight was feeding leftover crab to turtles, which we were lucky enough to see! After a few hours of free time to explore, we returned to the boat. Photos from the mud bath were available for 350 TL. A big thanks to Eric for organizing this wonderful experience!

We booked this tour based on the great reviews, and it did not disappoint! From start to finish, everything was well-organized. We were picked up from the hotel and enjoyed an informative drive to the mud baths, where we learned about the area’s history and the day’s plan. The mud bath was a fun and messy experience—definitely bring a second bathing suit! After lunch, we split into groups for the boat ride, stopping at the tombs to hear fascinating legends and history. At the blue crab spot, we learned how to handle and eat them, though we skipped this part as we’re not seafood fans. Turtle Beach was a highlight—we swam in the sea, enjoyed food at the beachside restaurant, and even spotted a few turtles near the boats! The guides were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and made the day even better. There were plenty of photo opportunities, and the entire experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour—10/10!

We were picked up on time right outside our hotel and taken to the mud baths, which were a lot of fun, followed by a delicious light lunch. From there, we walked a short distance to the riverboat and cruised down the beautiful Dalyan River, spotting hummingbirds in the reeds and the stunning Lycian Tombs. At Turtle Beach, we were thrilled to see three loggerhead turtles swimming near the jetty. We spent about an hour enjoying the beach before cruising back up the river to our waiting coach, which returned us to the hotel. Overall, it was a fantastic and well-organized trip—great value for money.

We had a fantastic day visiting Turtle Beach and the mud baths. The mud bath wasn’t quite what I expected—it’s in an enclosed area rather than on open ground—but it was still a fun experience. The boat ride was relaxing and enjoyable, and Turtle Beach was beautiful, not overcrowded at all. We were lucky to see a few turtles, which was a highlight. Of course, since they’re in the wild, you can’t expect too many, but even spotting a few was special. Dmitri, our tour guide, was excellent—engaging, funny, and very helpful. He’s fluent, enthusiastic, and clearly loves his job, making the trip even better.

The guide was very nice and took good care of us throughout the trip. However, my experience was average overall because I didn’t get to see any turtles, which was the main reason I booked this tour. The food was another letdown. I had the chicken for lunch, but it was plain, lightly seasoned, and served with cold pasta. Having enjoyed Turkish food in the UK, I expected richer flavors and a better meal overall. Additionally, personal drinks weren’t allowed, and I think at least one drink, like a bottle of water, should have been included with the meal since lunch was part of the package. On a positive note, the beach was very clean and enjoyable, which was a nice way to end the da

This was an incredible trip! We were initially a bit hesitant about the mud baths, but afterward, my skin felt amazing. Our guides, Demitri and Oscan, were terrific—they looked after everyone and made the journey fun and enjoyable. The boat trip to Turtle Beach was stunning. The views along the river are a must-see, and we were lucky to spot two large turtles. We also enjoyed the blue crabs, and the beach itself was superb—clean, relaxing, and beautiful. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

The trip was very well organized from start to finish. Our tour guide, Dimitri, was excellent—informative, entertaining, and kept us all amused throughout the day. The mud baths were a lot of fun, and the lunch afterward was good (meatballs were served, but there was a vegetarian option too). The boat trip was relaxing, and the history of the ancient tombs was absolutely fascinating. Turtle Beach was fantastic! Although we only saw a couple of turtles near the boats, it was still an amazing experience. My only wish is that we had more time at the beach, as it went by so quickly. Overall, it was great value for money and a brilliant day out. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

The day itself was perfectly paced, and our tour guides, Dimitri and Merat, were fantastic—informative, funny, and engaging. The mud baths were great fun, and the river cruise was simply amazing.
