Very interesting piece of history to visit. The place is kept very clean. Toilets and restaurant areas spotless. The tour is amazing. We utilised one of the guides for around 35 euros. So glad we did.

This is a must do trip, what a day. We booked through one of the guys selling trips, whilst we were walking in Marmaris marina ( i was a little bit apprehensive about doing it this way but there was no need to be). We paid a deposit to him and then paid the remainder on the day- no pressure (£35 for two of us inclusive of lunch) They picked us up as stated at 8:30am from the hotel and took us straight to the boat which is huge! The cruise out to turtle beach was glorious and when you get there you then go onto a smaller boat ( holds about 30 people ) for the rest of the cruise. We saw turtles in the river, which come up really close to the boats as the hosts feed them crabs, as well as lots of wildlife whilst cruising through the marshland. We sailed past the king tombs, which are an incredible sight to see and then onto the mud baths, which were great fun! Our captain was so funny and made the trip even more enjoyable than it already was. Yes, it’s a long day but it really does go so quickly and we saw some amazing sights so it was well worth it....... we got back into Marmaris marina at around 6pm and our bus was waiting at the end of the road to drop us back to our hotels- superb day and so cheap for what it is with no hard selling at any time.

Thank you U can travel for this amazing day. I am single traveler and your stuff didn't make me feel that i am alone. Tazi canyon and places nearby were very beautiful and this agency helped me to see everything. Although i didn't book rafting but i was also proposed to try it so just in case take swimming suite with you even if you didn't plan to swim. Group was only 4 people and we were treated like VIP customers. Nice fresh food was also provided. I recommend ????

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.
