Customer Reviews (7 reviews)
The Dalyan tour was a perfect mix of culture, relaxation, and fun. I loved seeing the Lycian rock tombs – they looked majestic above the river. The mud bath was funny and messy, but my skin actually felt softer after. The guide was patient and explained everything in English clearly. The highlight for me was the boat ride through the reeds, it felt like entering a movie scene.
¡Increíble experiencia! Lo mejor fue la playa de Iztuzu, tan limpia y tranquila, además de la emoción de ver las tortugas marinas. El almuerzo en el restaurante junto al río fue sencillo pero sabroso. Me gustó mucho que el guía compartiera historias locales.
I wasn’t expecting so much variety in one day. Ancient ruins, a boat through the reeds, mud baths, a beautiful beach – it had everything. My favorite part was the caretta turtles; our guide explained how they are protected and why the beach is so important for them. It made me appreciate the experience even more.
Il tour a Dalyan è stato fantastico. La gita in barca sul fiume era così rilassante, con paesaggi bellissimi. Le tombe rupestri erano impressionanti e il bagno di fango molto divertente. C’era un po’ di affollamento, ma l’organizzazione è stata buona e non ci ha dato fastidio.
The tour was excellent from start to finish. The pick-up was on time, and the bus was comfortable. The mud bath was hilarious, everyone got completely covered. Later, we had free time at Iztuzu Beach, which was stunning and peaceful. It’s rare to find such a clean beach in a tourist area.
Очень интересная экскурсия! Нам очень понравилась поездка на лодке и вид на гробницы в скалах. Купание в грязевой ванне было весело, вся группа смеялась. На пляже Изтузу мы видели черепаху, это было волшебно.
Dalyan was one of the best tours I joined during my holiday in Bodrum. It had nature, history, and relaxation all in one. Seeing the rock tombs and learning about Kaunos was fascinating, and then relaxing at the beach was the perfect ending. Everything was well organized, and the staff were kind and professional.
