We had a very laid back and enjoyable tour. It offered a lot of great experiences for a very affordable price. The standout moments were the boat ride in Akyaka and the lunch stop in Yuvarlakçay. We had the chance to cool off in the water at both locations, which made the day even more refreshing.

From start to finish, the service was excellent. Mares Travel, and especially our guide Ali, provided a wealth of information that made the day truly enjoyable. The boat ride was stunning, and though I’ve shared some photos, they don’t quite capture the beauty of the experience. I highly recommend both Mares Travel and this river cruise. The food and the restaurant’s setting were outstanding, making for a truly unique experience. Many thanks.

I’ll be honest this trip was incredible and absolutely worth it. The lake was stunning, and the scenery throughout the day was breathtaking. Watching ducks and geese during the boat ride added such a peaceful touch to the experience. It’s hard to put into words how natural and almost dreamlike everything felt. The food was enjoyable, and the atmosphere overall was warm and welcoming. Our tour guide, Karim, was kind and attentive, making the day even more enjoyable. I genuinely recommend this trip you’re sure to love it!

Everything about the tour was well organized and handled professionally. Our guide, Kerem, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting insights about the region and the various places we visited. He made sure we were well looked after throughout the day and created a very welcoming atmosphere. We explored several beautiful and fascinating spots, and the included lunch was not only delicious but served in a truly picturesque location. For just £25 per adult (£12 for children), including lunch, transportation, and hotel pickup and drop-off, this tour is excellent value. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Marmaris and suggest booking through Mares Travel (Excursiongo Marmaris) without hesitation.

An unforgettable experience. The natural freshwater river was absolutely breathtaking, filled with various fish and birds someone in our group even spotted a turtle. The boat ride was a true highlight and so enjoyable. Our guide, Shahin, was outstanding knowledgeable, caring, and attentive to everyone in the group. The lunch stop was in a gorgeous setting, and I highly recommend trying the fish cooked in a stone oven it was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The trip was perfectly timed not too long, not too short. Thank you for such a memorable day.

This tour completely exceeded my expectations. Both the Akyaka river cruise and the stop at Yuvarlakçay were unforgettable peaceful, scenic, and just the right pace. What made it even better was our guide, Mr. Şahin. He was genuinely kind and shared so many interesting bits of history and local knowledge without ever making it feel like a lecture. It didn’t feel rushed or overly touristy just a really enjoyable day spent in nature, learning, relaxing, and eating some great food by the river. I’d honestly do it again in a heartbeat.
