Great morning exploring Bodrum!

Annabelle_B, Sep 2025

What a fantastic morning getting to see some of the Bodrum sites! Our guide Ufuk was so kind, lovely and knowledgeable. The Bodrum castle is definitely a can't miss for history buffs. It's truly one of the most fascinating castles we've had the pleasure to see. Thank you so much for the great tour of a beautiful city!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful morning exploring Bodrum with Ufuk. His knowledge and passion for Bodrum’s history are exactly what we hope our guests experience when discovering this fascinating city. And we completely agree—**Bodrum Castle is a must-see for anyone interested in history.** Standing above the harbour, surrounded by centuries of history, it is one of the places that truly brings Bodrum’s past to life. We’re very happy that it became one of the highlights of your visit. For future travelers, this private walking tour is a great way to discover Bodrum’s history and main sights with a knowledgeable local guide, while enjoying the city at a relaxed pace and learning the stories behind what you see. Thank you again for choosing us and for your kind recommendation. If you enjoyed your experience, we would be very grateful if you recommended us to your friends and family. We would also love to welcome you back to Bodrum for one of our other private experiences. And perhaps next time, instead of just a morning in Bodrum, you can stay with us for **a full week aboard one of our private gulets**—discovering a different turquoise bay every day, with your own boat, captain and crew. We hope to see you again in beautiful Bodrum! 🇹🇷

We had Alfie as our guide and he is very flexible with our schedule and he has very good knowledge of history and also a very good story teller. We are a group of seniors that needed time to walk around the castle and he was very patient with us. Highly recommended if you need a walking tour in Bodrum.

Fantastic Tour and Tour Guide. We highly recommend!

Victoria_B, Jul 2024

The tour was fantastic. We very much enjoyed the with him. His professionalism, friendliness and spending time on the most important points was spot on. It was a walking tour and we spent 3 hours walking through various points in the city. Almost 5 miles of walking. Really enjoyed the experience and wish we had more time to explore the local area.

Bodrum: worth the visit

Anonymous, Jun 2024

Our guide Orhan was excellent. He was quick to respond to texts. He was punctual and met us at the shuttle stop. He was very knowledgeable about Bodrum and the castle. He has a great personality and spending time with him was very enjoyable. The castle is definitely worth visiting but if you can’t manage stairs I don’t recommend it. There are a lot of stairs and they tend to be uneven.
