I have experienced probably 30-40 boat trips worldwide. This ranks near bottom, and ‘rank’ is the operative word. On boarding the atrocious smell from the WC was unavoidable. It was so bad I could smell it swimming round the boat. Here are the bullet points: 1) Transfer in an old clapped out bus with marginal A/C. 2) On arrival no welcome from anyone, nor was there any interaction or personality from any of the crew throughout. 3) Immediately left and presented with unscheduled (or indeed wanted)breakfast-2 small slices of bread, airline style jam pot and a boiled egg (mine was raw but hey..). Never mind, nice cup of coffee? Help yourself ‘station’ of v old jar of cheap instant coffee, even older jar of Coffee Mate. Revolting. 3) Swim stops ok but boarding ladder v worn out and dangerous. My partner wouldn’t touch it and even the youngsters I was watching were v cautious. 4) Lunch appeared unannounced, not enough chairs so we ate on our laps. Sinewy tasteless lamb, small portion of (by Mediterranean standards) basic salad, 5 chips and 1/2 plate of curly pasta. That’s it. HQ remember? 5) Quick swim stop then back by 2.30 ( at least an hour early) having missed a scheduled stop. 6) No thank you or goodbyes and back on the ‘sweat bus’ (it’s 33c by now). On the bus we all agreed (some v angry) this was awful in every respect. We apparently paid various amounts, I was ripped off most at €70 each. There are better trips at 1/3 price in Marmaris. The bus, boat and crew are all worn out and in need of a refit. Avoid at all costs

I arranged for a private tour from Marmaris going to Parmukkale for the day. There were 3 of us. It was a 3 hour trip each way. The guide was the absolute worst, his English was spoken so quick it sounded like another language ,I could not even tell you his name. When we got in the van he spoke for 20 minutes on everything about the destination at a rapid speed we could not understand anything ! The remaining 2h 40 m he spoke Turkish to the driver. On arrival, we knew nothing about the site or where to go. The 2 stars are for the driver who was good, The guide gets a -10 !!

We chose the Jeep safari with Brilliant Tours and it lived up to its name. BRILLIANT. It was a full action packed day. Lots of breath taking views, beautiful meal, plenty of water fights!!!! (You will get wet... be prepared! Dont do what I did, and turn up with hair and make up all done thinking you could escape the water fights haha!) It was genuinely very fun and you feel extremely looked after by the drivers! Shout out to Unal and his crew. We appreciate you all for giving us such an amazing experience We paid £35pp and that included pick up and drop off at your hotel, 9 hour jeep safari, refreshments and a meal! Such good value! Thanks again, love Jasmine and Rachel X

Brilliant day from start to finish,got soaking wet no sooner you got dry you got another soaking but all done in a good fun way took plenty of photos for you and kept your valuables safe and dry stopped off for lunch food very good would definitely do it again Steve and Gail newton abbot

Good lunch and a relaxing day. The ship was in reasonable condition and the atmosphere was fun. We enjoyed meeting passengers from around the world.

Great fun, Great value and brilliant full day out. Jeep drivers really nice. Really well organised. Water fight a brilliant laugh

Best night out by far Laugh from start to finish Great costumes and food All staff are helpful You wont be disappointed

Wow what a day … atmosphere, weather and weather ha ha beautiful views and 40 plus weather and we got to see 2 HUGE turtles . Mid bath is such a good new experience very good highly recommend

We have been on 20+ boat trips when on holiday in Turkey and by far Pinar and Veli Tufan who own the Ayay boat were our best and favourite hosts. We had a brilliant first trip from Dalyan down the river and out to sea. We sunbathed, snorkelled and paddle boarded then had a fabulous fresh lunch with wine/beer (extra cost). The day got better and better in the fantastic weather and we partied and swam until after 20:00. Our hosts were brilliant, joined in our daft games and delayed return which was much appreciated. The boat was beautiful and cleaned to a very high standard. A few day’s later the same couple took us on a moonlight boat trip which again was fabulous including the most amazing freshly cooked food. We can’t praise this boat and beautiful couple highly enough.

Brilliant day ending with beautiful scenery. But be prepared to get rather wet. Fun day drivers very friendly and helpful. Even took photos for us

Excellent experience the staff was very friendly drinks served on board were economical and the meal was perfect. We had enough time to roam.around the islands and to do swimming

This was without doubt the best day we’ve had. Unal (please forgive spelling of wrong) was fantastic. I had already heard good things about the experience but it was much more than I thought. We got absolutely soaked throughout the day. Me, my partner, 9yr old 15yr old and mother in law went and we’ve all said we would definitely do this again it was brilliant. All of us have come back on such a high tonight it’s going to be hard to top. Lunch was lovely and well needed. Word of advice take minimal stuff. When we go again we will take a swimming bag for suncream, waterproof phone case which can also put money and card in and one towel between us. Make sure you wear good footwear. We all had crocs or beach shoes apart from my partner who had flip flops which one broke at first stop - but the tour guides gave him one of theirs. Honestly it was such a brilliant day and can’t wait to come back again.

Great trip and was fun from start to finish with some stunning scenery. Prepare to get very wet and take your own water guns. Lunch was great. Beach stop included and stops at some stunning locations. Our driver Unal was excellent and kept us well informed and wet!

What a day! Beautiful scenery, relaxing boat trip, stunning fish, excellent fun! We booked this via Tui but you can do it via other operators in the area. From collection to drop-off this was a great family day out. the locations the boat stops are stunning and jumping in to see all the fish was fabulous! The traditional boats were great (and safe so don't worry about that!) and the meal on board was super too! Definitely recommend this trip!

This was the most amazing day we had. From start to finish our driver Unal kept us updated of everything that was happening. This was for our daughter's 18th birthday and she love it. We all did. The day was fun packed with water fights and we would do this again in a heart beat. The lunch was fantastic. And as promised we got very wet throughout the day which was great as it was really hot. Thank you Brilliant Tours.
