A fantastic day out! - This excursion is nothing short of fantastic! My husband and our two teenagers all had an amazing day on this trip. The tour guide ‘Jesus’ was very knowledgeable, helpful and fun. We learned so much about the areas we visited and Turkey in general. The boat ride provides beautiful views and the mud baths are so much fun. I loved the thermal bath, it was so lovely and relaxing after the cold shower to get the mud off. I was worried it would be packed but it wasn’t at all. The highlight for me was seeing the turtles. I can’t tell you how many trips I’ve been on where they’ve promised I’ll see a turtle and then we didn’t. No issues this time! The turtle was about 2m away from me. Breathtaking. The food was good, not great but very adequate. The photographer is also very good, not intrusive and the photos are really lovely. There is an opportunity to buy crab to eat and feed the shells to the turtles. We don’t eat crab for religious reasons but I regretted not getting one because you are much more likely to see the turtles if you chuck the crab shells into the water. Overall this is great value for money and highly recommended.

A fantastic day trip - It is quite a long day but we'll worth it. Our tour guide was excellent. She was so friendly and helpful and very informative. The scenery was spectacular, and the mud bath was so much fun. Even the food at lunch was quite a good standard. We spent an hour and a half on Turtle beach wich was a nice break from the travelling and saw quite a few turtles which was great. We couldn't fault this day trip. We will always be a happy memory for us. Thanks to the tour guide and everyone else for a great dayout. Dave and Jenny from Plymouth UK

Great day - This was a great day, the mud bath and hot springs were so revitalising, seeing the tombs was amazing and Turtle bay has to be one of the best beaches in the area. Our guide was so much fun and informative. It's a full day out but well worth it. Thank you for such a wonderful day.

Fabulous day on the River - The mud bath was memorable but just spending a day cruising down the river was a delight. As a bonus we saw turtles!

Scenic trip on river trip - Enjoyed the trip. They picked us up early. It was a long day. We went to.mud bath and then hot springs. My husband and grandson did the mud bath. I've done it before and with my athritus decided too much of risk to do it as risk of slipping and concrete around edge. The sulphur bath was nice and good for me. The river cruise was excellent. Really enjoyed this. The river is beautiful and it was a pleasant experience. We had lunch which I enjoyed but couldn't eat it all. Turtle beach is wonderful. When we went the sea was rough. My grandson stayed on sand and enjoyed making sandcastles. The beach is beautiful and I enjoyed jumping the waves. We saw turtles on the river near the jetty. I've done trip before but still enjoyed doing this again x

Wonderful history, shabby facilities. - The pick up was excellent. We didn’t want to use the mud baths but it was an experience being there. Lunch was a shambles. We had preordered but no one seemed to know why it had been necessary. The venue has stray dogs walking around while you eat and the food was like warm at best. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The tombs are incredible and we had good time to photograph them. I’m not sure there was ever an expo that we’d see turtles. The beach was busy and quite shabby. The loungers were extremely basic and cost 300TL for our use. The photographer takes photos all day and then uploads them to your phone for a fee - 900TL. It would have improved things if the boat owner hadn’t smoked throughout despite a sign saying not to smoke. Overall, it was worth it for the history but would happily not have had the day filled with the other elements v

Not so great experience - Boat ride was good. But otherwise it was not so fulfilling. First of all we were picked up from the hotel to a spot in a different vehicle then from that place we were set to a bus with Russian guide and we were not share any information during 1 and half hours of our journey in the bus to Dalyan. Then during the boat ride our English guide met us and shared necessary information while we were supposed to enjoy the ride. Afterwards we learnt that for two bus and two boat the company has arranged only one guide. The food served during lunch was of poor quality.
