Etrim Village Trip - Mr. Fatih was very friendly and showed us everything in Etrim. He was very talkative and went to a lot of trouble. The food in the countryside tasted very good and the villagers were all very friendly. I would recommend the trip to anyone and is worth every penny. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Fatih again.

Good Experience - We thoroughly enjoyed our city tour Mr. Tony. We did the village tour, he has a deep understanding of the history of the area, which made the experience better. He can speak good english so communicating with him is really easy. I highly recommend Mr. Tony for bodrum city tour.

A Hawaii-Turkey connection - Traveling to a village, touring it with someone familiar with the family and meeting the family members ..three generations..in the old home, in their business and at the lunch table was unique. The vast differences between our cultures were obvious, though the shared company and appreciation for individuals’ talents bonded us well.

Lovely half day in rustic village plus dropped into fantastic Vineyard. - A lovely half day trip. Village is lovely 30 minute drive very scenic. Rustic setting interesting to hear about life in village and traditional crafts there. Meal was tasty with a variety of mini dishes to select from. Our guide Tony was fantastic company throughout. Pleasant, friendly and well informed giving us many invaluable tips for the rest of our holiday. Best of all when we mentioned our interest in wine he took us to a local vineyard for tasting local reds and rose. That was not part of this advertised tour but an added freebie I would highly recommend.

Loved this tour - The drive to the village was about 30+ minutes and on a narrow road with hairpin turns. But the village was wonderful. Watching a lady make carpets and the lunch includes was great!!!

Bodrum Village Tour should not be Missed - This was a private tour at group tour rates. We were picked up at the port and drove about 35 minutes to the village. If you want to experience what life is like in a Turkish rural village and enjoy great food, this tour should not be missed. Our personal guide showed how people still live today in a village of 400 people that has been there for many generations. Walking through the village and visiting in their homes was something you do not want to miss. The lunch was included for the reasonable price and was a selection of 9 different dishes and all were great with two different breads. There was a rug demonstration but no pressure to purchase. We cannot say enough good things about this activity and we were very pleased and I know you will be too.

Private Bodrum Village Tour - The Private Bodrum Village Tour was phenomenal. I highly recommend to anyone interested in an authentic experience. This tour offered an opportunity to witness traditional rugmaking first hand, enjoy a Turkish meal (very tasty) and visit a local Bodrum village. The tour hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable. Well worth every penny.

Unique Alternative to Shopping but Modest - The operator was overbooked and overwhelmed. The driver guide did not speak English and, therefore, said nothing on entire 40 minute ride to the village. Others with similar private tours said their drivers pointed out highlights along the route. Village guide also inexperienced. Very nice and earnest, but not well prepared. We partially overheard other groups that were given much more depth and information. Overall mediocre.
