Dalyan Mud Baths and Turtle Beach Day Tour From Fethiye

Another amazing day with Chillax and our guide Ismail Burak. It was great time from start to finish. Again our guy Burak show great knowlege and positive energy and we enjoy and bus driver was great as well.Whole trip was different than other trips but not less interesting and exciting. Mud bath, river cruise and turtle beach(best beach definitely to visit). Lunch was huge again and you dont have to worry u will be hungry after that. We recommend 101%

What an amazing day out guide was the best you could ask for. The driver of the coach was so lovely he helped my 86 year old mum with her wheelie all the time . The same as out captain of the boat nothing was to much for them the camera man we had for the day was lovely and made us all laugh and his photos we a good price and fantastic. Would recommend this trip to everyone it was the best I have ever been on z

This trip is so worth it. Got to see more than what I expected and the mud and thermal bath is so worth it. Lunch was perfect and the tombs were amazing got to see them from the river. Turtle bay was the best ending got to see 3 or 4 large turtles and was amazing and a nice swim in the beach near by. I was very fortunate to have Melissa again as my tour guide. 2 times in 2 separate tours and she is wonderful tour guide. Communication was spot on from Gafar from start to finish. Thank you again for your services another great trip worth doing. Top notch tour company.

POSITIVES Great trip. Good guide commentary NEGATIVES Long coach ride from Okudeniz Long time on boat with uncomfortable seats Rushed at each stop (40mins- 1 hour) mid baths, restaurant and Turtle Beach No help or advise offered on where to see Turtles in the water at Turtle Beach harbour On landing back no steps to get off the very steep 90cm drop from boat to harbour meaning I fell and hurt myself trying to get off the boat….in shock with bruises and aches from having to jump off!

Please note, this review is only for the operator named Tourmania who are mentioned as local operator in several Viator tours of Turkey (I booked 3) but they do not provide a single tour themselves. They always subcontract to other local operators who rather provide a good service but due to the horrible behaviour of Tourmania agents, do not get the ratings they deserve. I have reviewed the individual operators (Peron tours for Pamukkale Hierapolis trip, Seaside travels for Fethiye boat cruise and Ginza travels for Demre-Myra-St Nicholas trip) who actually provided the service through TripAdvisor. Now let me describe the behaviour of Tourmania (i already read bad reviews about them in Viator but chose to ignore them and paid a price) 1) regarding the Pamukkale-Hierapolis day trip, I booked it months in advance and chose my pickup location from the drop-down list of hotels. On the day before the trip, I kept on messaging Tourmania regarding pickup time and they always said they'll let me know shortly. Around 5pm, they send me a very rude message on WhatsApp stating they won't pick me up from my hotel and i have to go to another place, and if I am 5 minutes late, they will leave. I just asked them why they were waiting till the cancellation window is passed to realise that my hotel is not possible to pickup from and how come other group tours are picking/dropping me from the same hotel (I already booked 2 other day trips from Kusadasi). I get a very humiliating response from the agent named Yusuf that my English is poor hence I am not understanding his response!!! Having done my education in English and having worked 21+ years in UK and US, this was nothing but utter insult. Moreover, my English knowledge had nothing to do with my pickup location. I straightaway shared the screenshot of the chat to Viator support who as expected didn't bother. I also demanded to speak with a senior person from Tourmania but I believe Yusuf himself called me, pretending to be a senior "John" and tried to convince me to go to the pickup location without any apology whatsoever. I still took the tour in light of not spoiling my holiday and thankfully it turned out well because of the actual operator Peron and guide Eren. Funny thing, met an elderly couple from US in this tour who also booked this tour from Viator and faced similar situation of changed pickup location and rude behaviour 2) my next trip with Tourmania was at Fethiye - where the same guy Yusuf made a mess, making me wait on the roads for more than 1 hour. Again there were a group of 3 British ladies in the tour who also waited more than 1 hour thanks to the same issue! 3) my last tour with Tourmania was at Antalya - day trip to Demre-Myra-St Nicholas church. Actual operator was Ginza travels who sent an amateur girl (it was her first trip as a guide!!). Few minutes down the tour, she came to collect entrance fee of 30 Euro for St Nicholas church. My tour description of Viator mentioned Entry/Admission included, which I show to her and refuse to pay extra. But during the Kekova sunken city cruise (which by the way is a total waste of money, as there's nothing to see underwater, the ship zooms past and all you can see is a mountain top castle very far away on the coast), I got a call from same guy Yusuf who started yelling at me why I am not paying the extra money. He said it was mistakenly mentioned as included in Viator. He was so loud that people sitting next to me could hear his shout. I just disconnected the phone stating I don't wish to be humiliated and started chatting with Viator support. They confirmed repeatedly that it's included and they will process the refund later. But after I paid 20 Euro (the tour guide said it was her mistake to quote 30 Euro initially)... Oh.. the ticket price mentioned at the ticket counter was 17 Euro but i just ignored 3 Euro bonus that the girl scammed me for, Viator refused to refund stating tour operator has declined. In the end, I just wasted 20 Euro and also lost the chance to review Tourmania as Viator blocked me from reviewing. Long story short, this company Tourmania is a fraud and it's rather better to book directly with the actual operators.
