Really beautiful day in Dalyan
We had a great day. Pickup and drop off from our hotel went smoothly. Dalyan is a beautiful area. The boat moves slowly through the water so there is plenty of opportunity for photos. The mud baths and hot springs was fun. The rock tombs beautiful and Iztuzu Beach was good for a swim or just lying on the beach. We even saw some large turtles, although the water wasn't clear enough to see them well. Overall we loved our day.

Lovely day
Managed to see the turtles and tombs which was good. The turtle beach was lovely sandy and clean. I wasn’t keen on the mud baths but others were really enjoying them

Excellent experience
From pick up directly outside the hotel, to the travel accommodation, to the drivers, tour guide, and captain of the boat, to the overall experience, this was a truly great trip and well worth it!

Wonderful trip to see a unique part of Turkey!
Our group came from a cruise ship and needed to have the return time earlier than the tour was advertised. The phone operators worked with us to accomodate our needs, modify the touring time, and dietary requests for the lunch. Our tour guide Ahmet was knowledgeable, pleasant, and kept us on schedule. Bus driver also drove safely!
