Trip was a poor quality in everything transportation bus without AC, bad lunch, crowded and uncomfortable seats in the boat, and no proper pick up
very good, we visited three islands, but there was too mush people in the group. And the guide wasn't informative at All
My favorite part of the trip was getting to know Sulaiman, our tour guide. He was a pleasant companion and also knowledgeable about other places in Turkey where we have traveled. The large island has some good restaurants & shopping, ice cream of many flavors and a nice golf cart tour of the island. We ate some delicious fish by the seaside and the seagulls were quite entertaining — flying around and then landing near the window to wait for some food! Tips: although these are islands there are no beaches for swimming. In September the ferry ride can be windy and chilly so bring a jacket or sweater. Allow time on the large island for strolling along the many quaint shops and time to sit for some coffee or tea.
It was a full day and we visited several Islands. My only complaints is meet-up time was incorrect of which I couldn't reach anyone while waiting, luckily I ended up just sitting for over an hour and the actual host finally called upon arrival to meet-up location. Second, carriage ride was not available during this time. However, it was substituted with mini carts. Boat ride and passengers friendly and very entertaining. Host spoke different languages and kept us informed. Trip was good overall.
I do not like to write bad reviews. But this tour supposed to be guided tour for the island and instead it turned into photo tour. We only had 20min on each island and all those minutes turned into photo tours instead of guided tour and history of the island. They were taking photos so they can sell you later for $5 each. There was no history explanation, only photos. If you want real guided tour with proper explanation of the islands and history and culture this is not for you. Do not waste your time. Also they charged $80 for English speaking but $45 for Arabic and there was not any difference. They should just refund me the difference since it was not the tour I expected to be. I did not sign up for photo tour.
