Bodrum Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Gigi, our guide was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. We had a great time.

Our guide Gigi was very knowledgeable. She was born in Bodrum and is very proud of her heritage. I was concerned about the other reviews who said the carpet stores to be very pushy. We did not experience the heavy marketing that was mentioned. We were very satisfied with our tour.

We had a wonderful private tour with Efuk (means horizon in Turkish) and we got to learn a lot about Bodrum’s history. He is very polite, knowledge and passionate. He accommodated my husband stopping at the pharmacy for cough medicine. Driver was nice and good at maneuvering the narrow streets. He made additional stops to show us beautiful mosaic at the hospital and the windmills. I would highly recommend.

Great day trip to nearby islands Main interesting pointd are rabbit island & orak island. Refreshing swims in Crystal turquoise water and splendid panoramas over aegan sea waters. Crew was good, friendly. They work hard for the cruise and make you comfortable and communicate well during the trip.

This experience was amazing. Efe, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects and gave us so much interesting facts and history on every place we visited, he also took the time to try and tailor it to our tastes. Overall I would definitely recommend this and if you get Efe as your tour guide you’re in good hands.

Our guide, Char was charming and personable and very knowledgeable in our tour of Ephesus. We highly recommend him! Our transport van was very comfortable and our driver was great! We stopped for a delicious lunch of authentic Turkish food. We were very, very happy with our tour!

Punctual, fantastic service. Would recommend

Great time - very friendly crew - great selection of drinks - perfect number of stops and pacing between stops. I’d come again!!

Darya taught us a great deal about Turkiye and the wonderful city of Bodram. Darya made the tour a really enjoyable experience.

Excellent way to see the House of the Virgin Mary and Ephesus in one day from Bodrum. Our driver, Ali, was fantastic—prompt, professional, friendly, and an excellent driver. The van was spotless, comfortable, and stocked with drinks and snacks, making the journey just as enjoyable as the tour itself.Our guide, İlgü, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and able to answer all of our questions while making the history easy to understand.A seamless, well-organized tour to two incredible historical sites. Highly recommend!

Amazing crew, very friendly and professional. Highly recommend while you are in Bodrum. Great for a sunset vibe

We got picked up from our hotel in Bodrum with a very nice car. Ride was comfortable and the guide was very polite and talkative. We visited House of Mary first which was our main goal. Our group was not really interested in ancient history so we decided spend more time at House of Mary and less time at Ephesus. House of Mary was an amazing experience to be at. Even though there were hundereds of people, still there was a calm, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. We enjoyed it a lot. Food was very good, staff was really nice. Overall a very beautiful day it was.

Nice and clean facilities, friendly staff, professional massage. Drinks apart from water were extra.

We had the most incredible time on our tour, all thanks to our amazing guide Tugba. Her knowledge of every single location we visited was absolutely incredible—she shared so many fascinating insights and stories that we never would have discovered on our own! Beyond being highly informative, she was incredibly warm, engaging, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience.I would highly recommend to book this tour with Tugba if given the option! - The tour in general was great and allowed us to see the wonderful main places in Bodrum all in one day.Thank you for making our trip so incredibly special.

What a wonderful tour experience! Deniz was great from before the tour even started. He reached out to myself, as the travel agent, and my husband via WhatsApp, to make sure we knew all the details if we were to find him and win the tour started. He was such an excellent tour guide, so knowledgeable, and so much fun to talk with. Even the two hour drive to Ephesus, was so comfortable in the van, the time passed quickly. He knew so much about Ephesus and all of the history surrounding it. We told him how important our faith is to us, and he did such a great job of explaining the part Ephesus plays in our spiritual walk. Later he took us to a wonderful place for lunch, although he said it was a small snack, we left very full! The food was delicious and it was in such a beautiful place. We then learned so much about carpet making and they even put on a little show with the rugs for us and brought me Turkish coffee! We left everything about the tour and Dennis just made it amazing. I cannot recommend this enough. Speaking as a travel agent, I would definitely book my clients on this tour. Absolutely nothing negative to say about it.

We booked the private trip and it was the best decision ever. The car was super comfy and our guide was incredibly sweet. She gave us all the cool history and mythical stories without making it feel like a boring school lecture. Walking down the white pools barefoot feels so satisfying, and the water was warm. The theater up top is huge and it is very steep. We got some amazing photos up there. But my favorite part was just floating around in Cleopatra’s pool with a cold drink afterwards. The white travertines feels surreal to walk over. We loved every moment and will definitely come again next year.
