Private Bodrum Shore Excursion from Bodrum Port - NO HIDDEN COST

Sellcherk was an excellent guide. We had a great day seeing all the sites of Bodrum. Highly recommended.

The day started out great with an on-time pickup and tons of information about the history of the area. We got started early, so we got to many of the sites before the crowds arrived, which was nice, despite the driver getting lost trying to go to every site (the guide said he was new). The village was lovely, the lunch was an excellent way to try many local dishes cooked by a woman who took a lot of pride in her food. We also greatly enjoyed the rug-making demonstration, which gave us an appreciation for the effort and attention to detail paid for each rug. On the way back, we asked if we could try Turkish coffee and the guide agreed, said he would place an order, and we could go pick it up. However, he ended up taking us to an underground jewelry store, where we did indeed get a cup of coffee, but also got trapped in a sales pitch by a man trying to sell us Zultanite jewelry. This was followed by a gift shop on the way out selling knock off handbags and rugs, where the worker said our van would take 10 minutes to arrive despite being parked in the same parking space the entire time we were inside. The whole thing seemed very shady and we did not appreciate being funneled through this scam of an operation under the guise of getting a cup of coffee. Up to that point, the tour was great.

The tour was excellent! We hit all the major stops, got to learn a lot about the history of the area, and stopped in a local village for a delicious lunch. Our guide, Ferudun, was a wealth of information and interesting facts and we had a great day with him. Highly recommend!

My wife and I booked a 33-day adventure through Türkiye. As part of our tour, we booked the “Private Bodrum Shore Excursion.” This was a private trip arranged by Smart Türkiye Tours and guided by Selçuk Kaya. Given the overall duration of our trip, we worked with Selçuk to tailor this segment to focus on our interests. Bodrum is a bustling city on the southwest coast of Türkiye. The marina and castle areas are very lively with many shops, restaurants and bars. The Bodrum Castle and Underwater Archeological Museum were fascinating. The castle is well preserved and presents its history with thoughtful displays. Overall, it was a marvelous trip made even better by the attention and guidance of Selçuk. He is a great person and guide. He was with us for the entire 33-day journey. Selçuk was very helpful regarding all travel necessities providing recommendations for restaurants, local dishes, and options for coffee and tea. He helped with ATMs, mailing postcards, and even identifying laundry locations. We highly recommend Selçuk!

We had a fantastic day in Bodrum thanks to this very well-organized private tour. From the beginning, everything felt professional and smooth. The team clearly has a lot of experience with cruise guests, and that gave us great peace of mind. Our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in making sure we had a great time. We visited all the major highlights like Bodrum Castle and the ancient theater, but what stood out most was how relaxed and personalized the experience felt. There was no rush, and we could enjoy each stop at our own pace. The service quality was outstanding throughout the day, from the comfortable vehicle to the perfect timing back to the port. You can tell this is a company that knows what they are doing. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bodrum on a cruise.

We had booking with Vip Bodrum Tours via Viator and everything just great. We met with our guide at the port on time and enjoy our time in Bodrum during the day. After the tour back to port on time. We recommend this company.

I booked a private Bodrum tour with the same company, and once again everything was excellent. I was picked up directly from my hotel in Bodrum, and the service was smooth, punctual, and very comfortable. The guide made the day truly enjoyable with great insights and a personalized itinerary. If you want a high-quality, private experience in Bodrum, I definitely recommend this company. I was very satisfied with the tour!

The tour met all expectations. The guide was knowledgeable, excited and passionate about the local history. We got picked up and dropped off on time. All experiences were memorable. We were out and about most of our port time site seeing and experiencing the local vibe. Definitely recommend to anyone trying to make the most of the port time or a day in Bodrum

Dennis was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge about the history of the sites and country was fantastic. He made it all so easy to understand and remember. We traveled with our autistic adult son and Dennis' patience and kindness were greatly appreciated!

We visit Bodrum city during our cruise holiday. We booked tour excursion a month before with Vip Bodrum Tours and they do not request any deposit which is suprised me! Anyway we met with our guide Selcukk easily. He was friendly and informed. We loved Bodrum by the way. We learned this is a resort city and we want to come back and stay longer here. I can recommend this company to anyone who will visit Bodrum. Our day trip went just great! Thank you.
