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.
