We really enjoyed ourselves on this trip. The mud bath was definitely a highlight—so much fun! Cruising along the Dalyan River was also a beautiful experience. It was a long day, but everything was well-paced and thoroughly enjoyable.

The day overall was decent, and the scenery along the Dalyan River was lovely. We especially liked the boat ride and mud baths. However, we paid extra for crab to feed the turtles, but unfortunately, there were no turtles around during our visit. It felt a bit disappointing, as that was one of the things we were looking forward to the most. The tour could have been more transparent about that.

The boat ride through the Dalyan River was lovely, and the views of the ancient tombs were a real highlight. The mud baths were a fun and different experience. We didn’t see turtles, but still enjoyed the peaceful nature. Only downside was the long journey there and back, but worth it overall.

Beautiful nature and a relaxing boat trip. The thermal mud baths were messy in the best way! We were hoping to see turtles and bought crab to feed them, but they didn’t show up on our visit. Still, the beach and river crossing were memorable.

The day was full of interesting stops, and everything ran smoothly. The beach was stunning and the river scenes felt like a postcard. Our only issue was that the boat was a bit crowded, but the experience made up for it. Would definitely recommend.

It’s a great tour if you want to see more of the Turkish countryside. The riverboat ride and tomb views were my favorite parts. Mud baths were fun but a bit chaotic. We didn’t spot any turtles, sadly. Still, it’s a nice change of pace from Bodrum.

Scenic, relaxing, and well-paced. The guide gave interesting info and the organization was good. Just prepare for a full-day trip with a lot of time on the bus. We got what was promised, and although no turtles appeared, we still had a great time.

We had a lovely day out. The hot springs and the lake crossing were both highlights. The views near the tombs were incredible. Only thing was the long transfer time, which made it tiring toward the end. Still, it was a memorable adventure.
