- kb7tm00Decent day out but not as advertisedIt was a good trip, however the foam party never happened, not sure why??? Saw dolphin and shearwater which were nice
- Q8891GManned00Fun Dayhad a fantastic fun day on a party boat called dragon highly recommend the food was lovely which came within the price
- 354kasiar00Super tripFantastic day trip, great fun with lovely music. Beautiful views. Highly recommended. Our family had a grat adventure!
- AlexRetro00Money well spendGreat 7h trip. Apart of Jeep tour you also view local communities with guide. Definitely would go again. Suitable even for small kids. Linch was very good as well, cooked by owner of local rug factory owner. Due to local weather you may need some warmer clothes in the morning.
- Y488ITkaz00Wonderful taste into Turkish culture. Well worth the upgrade.We decided to visit this turkish spa due to the price it was being offered as compared to at the hotel we’re staying at. We were due to be picked up at 1000 from our hotel (which is further out than most other companies are willing to pick up from), our transfer didn’t arrive until 1045 and that was after my partner messaged the company to remind them of us. This was frustrating but luckily didn’t impede on the experience and treatments we received when there.. You arrive and you sit in the lobby whilst they sort out your booking. Before I went, I’d already decided that I would upgrade if possible to a longer massage so for me, the trying to Upsell as not an issue, however to others it may be frustrating. We were offered the upgrade of an hour long massage, as opposed to 20 minutes, for an extra €25 each, which not to spoil the reviews but was well worth it. You’re shown through to get changed and up into the sauna where you sit with a group of other people on the same experience as us (there were 6 of us, 3 groups of 2). You’re then shown into a large room with a large marble type block in the centre. I’ll be honest, it is quite underwhelming when you’re in there. This is where you receive the scrub and bubble bath, 3 people at a time isn’t he large room, so does feel a bit awkward to begin with but you soon relax. It was definitely a weird experience but was also very enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys experiencing different cultures. After this, you are then shown to where the oil massage is in a little room. I’ll be honest, I think going for an hour is a lot better than 20 mins. My partner and I have both worked non stop through the pandemic and we both felt so relaxed and at ease. Overall it was a brilliant experience, not quite luxury that you would expect from a spa day, but a taste into Turkish culture followed by a massage and with the price of the upgrade taken into account, compared to what you would pay for an hour long massage elsewhere, very good value. Tip: If you are female and are comfortable to wear a bikini, I would advise that as it allows the treatments to be done on your stomach and back properly however it does not matter too much if not, they will work round a swimming Costume if they can.
- Rita H00Would NEVER recommendOur guide was fine, very knowledgeable and spoke decent English. However,ZERO organizational skills! We made an unannounced 50 minutes visit to a jewelers store with no added value , and another 20 min to a Turkish sweets store, which was not mentioned in the itinerary, but just an extra method of trying to make us buy . The whole trip since the morning was continuously late. The guide gave a timing to regroup and he didn’t even follow it himself. The optional visit to the house of Mary was truly optional, however, what they don’t tell you is that it means the rest gets thrown out of the bus and waits in the sun with no guide for an hour and a half. Not to mention the horrible tasteless food both in the breakfast restaurant and the lunch place. Very disappointed and would never tour with this company ever again.
- Johan V00Excellent value for moneyFantastic day trip out and a must do when visiting Bodrum - the Meteor Crater is by far the most magnificent sight to go see.
- JenBas00Very PoorBe aware that you have to pay for use of water guns. We were not told this when purchasing tickets. We spent too much time on breaks (45 minutes each time) in fact, more time was spent in total on breaks than actual jeep ride.
- peterjfullagar00Rhodes is beautiful, but...Rhodes is just too far from Bodrum to enjoy in a day, especially if departure is delayed. Queueing at passport control takes an age on both sides, and you’re lucky if you get 3 hours on the island before queueing again to get back on board. With all the hassle and rush, it ruined our enjoyment of Rhodes. Definitely go to Rhodes, but not on a day trip from Bodrum. Go somewhere closer, like Kos. This is nothing against the company offering the trip - no complaints there, but it’s just not a practical day out.
- tonybG3393YV00DO NOT BOOKPaid and confirmed booking. On the day was told the 2 day tour is only held on Wednesdays not on Saturdays as per my booking. The company claimed to have not received payment and then continued to lie and say they tried to contact us to advise us. Will need a full refund as the company was a no show
- robbieroo4900A ride on the wild sideFun but not for the faint hearted. Water fights at high speed over dirt roads we thought a laugh but not for everyone.
- Amelyly00Good boat cruiseNice boat, not too big compare to lot of other ones, friendly crew, chilled atmosphere even with the loud music sometimes. Lunch is OK. Option with all drinks included definitely worth it. The 5 spots are really beautiful, do not forget your mask and snorkel ;-) definitely worth the price, was a really good day!
- chris w00Take care if you book a day trip from Bodrum to EphesusOur trip to Ephesus, booked through the tour office, was marred by the operator adding his own itinerary which included an hour at a jewellery factory on the way, which we hadn’t asked for, and then we were told by the guide that the “extra” cost of visiting Mary Magdaline & St Johns house was 20€ and if we didn’t go we would have to wait 1 1/2hrs at a ceramic shop while the bust took those that did on the extra tour. So 2 &1/2hrs of being ripped off added to the trip which is already a long day. Ephesus is definitely worth visiting but on a hot day you don’t need these “extras” which make it a very long day. Check carefully when you book.
- mddnzd00Boat trip of bodrum baysThere are many boats you may be boarded, we boarded a normal boat which are smaller than those called pirate boats,i dont know why they ask to take off shoes & slippers before boarding,there were two decks,lower one was with tables & bar,the upper deck was fully covered with mattras & plastic which was so hot even could not walk on it with bard feet, turkish music was played all the time although turkish music is so nice but no other music was played considering most of passengers where frech,russian,iranian & german.boat stopped & anchored in 5 beatiful bays for diving & swimming ,water is so clear i can say its the best part of jurney , Lunch served whith option of chicke or fish,not perfect but acceptable quality.i suggest to take bigger boats & pick up from hotel beaches by fast boats.
- Aminehs00Do not use this tour operator !!We booked and paid for this trip through trip advisor. I emailed the operator to confirm pickup is from the bus station (as it says in the itinerary), afternoon beforr the trip I recieved an email saying pickup is 9:30 from the hotel, a few hours later another email saying it's 10:25. Well we were outside the hotel in the heat till 10:55 (constantly msging and calling the operator with no response) when someone showed up to WALK us to the boat - apparently theres no bus! I thought oh well unorganised start and was ready to enjoy the trip, the stop were amazing, the water was clear and cool, it's not actual beaches just swimming in the amazing sea. It was perfect (hence the 2 stars!) But there was no live entertainment or commentary as mentioned, There was giant speakers playing mostly Turkish music (which is fine but description was misleading). We had an average meal and offered tea a biscuits later in the day. Then we were charged 95TL for 4 icecreams, 4 ice-teas and 2 teas! I was ready to pay for the ice creams but the ticket says UNLIMITED NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS! what a cheek to charge for drinks too!!! I messaged the operator who said he'll check and get back to me, well it's been 2 days!!!! Don't choose this operator at all!!! Unorganised and misleading information.

Excellent day trip but be aware of busy queues at customs in both directions. The Kos side you are all shepherded into compound so make sure you go to toilet before long wait in caged area.
Excellent visit is the Archealogical site..bus is the hop on hop off bus takes you right there the you have 90 mins or 180 mins before it returns.

Unfortunately this just echos what many are saying... The ferry was supposed to depart at 9.15am but they insist you get there an hour early to collect your tickets, the ferry is then late leaving and takes closer to an hour than the 30 minutes advertised! (So you arrive in Kos after 10am)
We waited then until gone 11.30 to get to passport control and on top of that a pathetic 1 person selective bag screening.
Basically at this point we left the hotel in Gumbet 4 hours before actually stepping foot in Kos... We were being picked up in another 4 hours due to having to check in again an hour earlier than your departure.
Kos itself is lovely (much nicer than Bodrum) but all we really had time to do was swim in the sea, eat lunch and look around the old town shops.
Again the boat was late leaving and took an hour to get to Bodrum (although again advertised as 30 minutes).
All in all you take 12 hours to have a 4 hour day... I would recommend maybe staying overnight in Kos so you get a longer time there. If not I wouldn't waste your time due to the lack of organization from the ferry company and pp control

Glad I booked this trip. The transfer was perfectly on time to collect me from my hotel and got us to the port quickly (and before others began to show up which meant our group was the first to check in, board/ go through security so no long waiting.
There was a small coffee shop at the port.
I booked the catamaran option and glad I did as it took about 20 minutes and gave me more time in Kos.
Yes there are queues on arrival in Kos but it wasn’t terrible when I went (early Oct). Felt like I queued for maybe 15/20 mins to enter Kos.
Would say I had about 5 hours or so in Kos and got to visit plenty of the main attractions, ancient ruins, have lunch, check out the indoor market, local shops and just explore before needing to be back at the port for 4:30pm for a 5:30pm departure from the port.
Much longer queue in Kos to get back to Bodrum through passport control and waiting to board.
Transfer was ready and waiting at the port and I was shown straight to my transfer when I arrived back.
Lovely day trip and money well spent I believe.

Was picked up and dropped off to the wrong port, company are blaming me for it, no refund given.
We had to run (with my disabled partner) to get a taxi in a town I’m not familiar with and pay at my own expense for it. My partner then couldn’t walk for the rest of the day, the service is shocking!
Will be contacting my bank for chargeback.

It’s a long day but worth it. We were picked up bang on 0745 and arrived at the port about 15 mins later. Yes, there’s a lot of queuing for immigration on both the Turkish and Greek side, but we didn’t wait longer than an hour. We had around 6 or so hours in Kos before having to head back. Kos Town was great, had such a chilled day with lots to see and do.

Beautiful Island, nothing to say but conditions to pass customs are awful. It takes one hour at least for each control side (Turkish and Greek). That means, at least 4 hours for the day excursion. Unbelievable ! Without speaking hot weather during summer period. To be honest, you must forget this excursion. Otherwise good luck and BE VERY PATIENT !

We did not use the hotel pick up as we had a car and were staying outside Bodrum. We parked 100yds from terminal at no cost & there are cash machines, a Migros supermarket & cafes there. We had hardly any queuing all day which was very nice after reading some reviews of other companies offering this trip. The staff were very helpful, there were reasonably priced drinks from the small bar on board and plenty of seating on the 3 decks (1 inside, 1 semi covered & 1 open topped). It was a very smooth journey & we docked very near the town centre. Everything went well & we all had a lovely day. Would recommend this trip very highly.

unless you are happy spending 3 hours each way on the boat due to long lines getting off the boat and through immigration. There is lots to explore on the island but you will have only 3 hours to do so. We left the hotel at 7 am and returned at 7 pm.

So to start we were told to wait outside the hotel security for transport to the dock at 6:35. The mini bus didn't arrive until 7:15. When getting to the dock there was queuing through passport control which is understanding. We were also told the ferry would leave at 7:30 and didn't leave until 9:30. Nice journey across to Kos not bumpy at all. When arriving in Kos there was again queuing which again took about 45 mins to get through control. Kos is a lovely place and we had food at a nice Italian restaurant across the beach. After speaking to the worker on the boat we were told that the ferry on the way back would board at 16:00 and depart at 16:30. Once again that was not the case, the ferry didn't even turn up until 18:00. After finally getting back to Bodrum more queuing with the minibus driver waiting to take us back to the hotel. Overall poor day with plenty of queuing.
