This tour was fantastic! We were picked up right on time from our hotel, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The BBQ chicken lunch, complete with salad and rice, was delicious. Just a heads-up, drinks aren't included, so be sure to bring your own. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable and engaging, and the bus driver did an excellent job navigating the mountain roads safely. We had a wonderful time exploring the attractions, and it seems that a guy named Eric from the travel agency helped organize the trip. Highly recommend this tour!

The pick-up service and guide were incredibly professional, experienced, and friendly! The beginning of the day involves some winding roads, so I’d recommend taking a motion sickness pill just in case. For the waterfall visit, it's a good idea to wear sports shoes for better traction and comfort.

I wanted to experience authentic village life, and this tour delivered exactly that! We started with a visit to a serene beach, where we learned about the history behind the statue there. Next, we explored a carpet factory showcasing stunning, handmade carpets—such incredible craftsmanship! Traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned mini-bus, we also stopped by an olive oil factory and got to sample some delicious local honey. I couldn’t resist buying two jars to take home! Another highlight was visiting the home of a warm and welcoming village lady, where I picked up two beautiful scarves. Our day continued with a visit to the village mosque, followed by a delicious chicken shish and rice dish enjoyed in a picturesque spot near a waterfall. The entire experience was truly fantastic, and our guide, Mert, made it even better. His knowledge of the area and everything we saw was impressive, and his English was excellent. He remained professional and engaging throughout the day. I’m planning to return to Marmaris with two friends next May, and we’ll absolutely be booking this tour again. It’s an incredible value for such a memorable experience!

We visited two factories, where we got to see firsthand how oils and carpets are made. The process was truly impressive, and we were amazed by the superb quality of the craftsmanship.

The modern, air-conditioned van was very comfortable, and the driver was careful and professional. The lunch provided was fresh and delicious, perfectly complementing the experience. Along the way, we had the opportunity to buy local products such as olive oil, beauty elixirs, soap, honey, and even carpets—all of exceptional quality.

The waterfall was lovely, with a nice and calm atmosphere. Visiting the mosque was also interesting, and the tour guide provided sufficient information about it. However, some of the other stops felt more commercial, focused on selling carpets, olive oil, and jewelry, with very limited information provided. Additionally, the tour guide's English could have been better, which made it a bit challenging at times. On the positive side, the lunch was good, and both the tour guide and the driver were very friendly, which made the experience more pleasant overall.

While the waterfalls were beautiful and the village offered an interesting glimpse into local life, I was disappointed that we didn’t visit Jesus Beach, which was the main reason I booked this trip. The village was quite small, and we ended up staying there longer than necessary, which felt like too much time for such a limited area. Overall, while parts of the trip were enjoyable, missing out on Jesus Beach was a big letdown.
