Extremely knowledgeable tour guide - We booked a local tour of Bodrum whilst on a beach holiday in a resort nearby. We were very lucky to have had Selahattin as our tour guide. Selahattin was extremely knowledgable and engaging and was clearly passionate about the history of Bodrum and Turkey more generally. As a licensed tour guide he was able to take us into Bodrum Castle which is predominantly where our two hour tour took place. He was able to answer all of our questions and we learned lots of really interesting things about the area. We would definitely recommend this tour and Selahattin in particular to anyone else who would like to learn more about the history of Bodrum.

Tour guide was amazing!!!! - This tour was absolutely perfect! Our tour Nuri really knew his stuff! He was prompt and designed everything around what it is we wanted to see. We walked through the streets of Bodrum and learned about different plants, the culture and the tour was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour and I would totally, recommend Nuri! The Turkish lunch we had at the end was so good. We are still thinking about it!

Great day in Bodrum - We had a lovely day with our guide Selahattin. We toured Bodrum Castle and learned a lot about Bodrum and its history. After our tour he gave us many suggestions on how to spend the rest of our day in Bodrum and walked us to a restaurant where he helped us order a delicious lunch. Definitely recommend this tour and our great guide!

Great guide - Honor, our guide, was so friendly and accommodating. Took us to special “ surprise” places as well as where we requested. Was supposed to bea walking tour but he brought a car so we saw so much more. His English was great. A little limited on historical facts but we expected that. Highly recommended 🥰

Late morning walk very enjoyable - Very pleasant and informative guide. Showed us key highlights of Bodrum including harbour area, historical parts and off the beaten track parts. Whetted our appetite to discover more ourselves. Length 2 hours perfect.

Pleasant but unprepared and inexperienced tour guide - When we realized our tour guide was unprepared to talk to us about the history of Bodrum, I began to ask her more about everyday culture and life in Bodrum. She was helpful with the Turkish language and interpretation for us.

Not worth the money. Not recommended. - The guide was a very nice lady and very friendly and accommodating. However she was not a true local (living there only 3 years) and she did not know her way around the city too well. She herself had to ask for directions to popular sights. It also seems to me that this was her first tour and she was taking more pictures of the sights than we were (as if she had never been there before). Also she was more interested in learning Spanish from us rather than to tell us about the local cuisine and customs of the area. Overall not worth the money as we could have easily done this tour by ourselves.

Fail - Tour operator failed at the last minute. They couldn't find anyone of their guides or us even though I booked 6 months in advance. More likely I think is that they prioritized the longer tours.
