Long trip but worth it! The harbour was stunning with turquoise water. However our boat didn’t have a glass floor to see the sunken city. The church is definitely a nice to see (17€). The tombs and theatre were impressive but if sunny, bring a cap as it can get very hot.
Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Nice trip, interesting stops, but a pity you can't even walk around on Simena. Excellent guide.
Bedankt voor je recensie. We hopen je snel weer te zien.
It's 3 part tour 1. Kekova island .. It's fun but feel like a stretch after a while . Maybe better music system can help. 2. Church you need to buy tickets separateky . 3.. Myla is absolutely worth the old gladiator arena vibe I specifically asked about drop off location before making the booking and they promised me that I would be provided drop off. Then it changed to drop off at bus station . At last they dropped me off middle of nowhere and basically asked me to do hitchhiking . Completely unprofessional . It's not a country where people speak English well.

Very nice tour. Eric handled my reservation and made it really easy Gave me all the details for my pick up from hotel. The tour guide was amazing, can't remember her name, I just remembered her name means Queen. She was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and sweet. I also had some time to relax at the boat.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
Our guide spoke good English and easy to understand. Disappointed that out of our 14hr day on the bus, 7 hrs was spent picking up,and dropping people off. The boat trip off the sunken city zoomed past the sites, with very little viewing of it. Lunch was an hour of noise, and of food being thrown on the table. As we had to also pay to enter St Nicholas Church and Myra another 30 euro added to the cost. Very disappointed in this tour 😞
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
Eric was great at arranging tour and kept me informed. Queenie and Captin ensured I had a safe informative journey with lots of humour and facts. All were super friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had a great time

Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
So we were picked up 615 am and kept just picking up people and switched to two buses until 9 am. At that point, we had a three hour drive to location. When we asked about bathroom break, the tour director said to the whole bus that these two women have been traveling for awhile so we need to stop for them. We then continued on to get to a supposedly glass bottom boat. It was two squares that they took the floor opening to see two feet down these two holes and with motor going it was horrible. Not a glass bottom boat at all. Then we went to lunch but the food was ok, and soft drinks were not included. Then we went to st Nicholas church which was extra. It was nice but small. Then we went to last stop and I was exhausted so didn't pay to go in but the deal was that the tour guide made sure everyone knew who paid and who didn't. After this, we left and had two buses instead to switch to make it easier supposedly. The tour guide passed an envelope for tips for her and the bus driver, and then opened it and laughed at what was given in front of everyone. I thought the tour guide was disrespectful about these things and got on after some of us and off before some of us. It is not worth the money or the time. I regret ever taking this trip since it is like 100 USD per person and truly it was mainly bus with no bathroom and a boat that can not be called glass bottom at all. Take another trip.
