Trip date: July 2022 - ADean· December 23rd, 2019A lovely trip, we had to slightly change the return itinerary with the boat due to the weather and came back closer to Fethiye earlier than planned which meant an opportunity to visit Gemiler island with the ruined churches which was actually one of my favorite places we visited.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review.

Terri· October 6th, 2019The tour was ok, but the walking in the mountains was difficult as the path consisted entirely of large stones. The guide for this tour was not good at all - he was disinterested in talking to any members of the group and constantly spoke Turkish to other guides most of the time. He did not accompany the group on any excursions to explain the history of old sites. I would recommend that Explore send this tour guide to extensive training on how to treat guest better, however I feel that he is not really suited to this job. He was very disengaged from us.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your feedback and review.Trip date: September 2019
