It was a real treat and soothing experience to have Ahmet as our guide around Marmaris! With his calm manner and pleasant driving style he led us to breathtaking places that were far away from tourist crowds. Just to our taste. A very individual tour with a lot of passion and interesting information about the area and nature. If you want to put your feet in the water, ask Ahmet, he makes everything possible.
A delightful tour which took us away from the tourist hotspots to enjoy the natural environment of the Marmaris area. Ahmet was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to some beautiful viewpoints with panoramic views over the mountains and coastline. We enjoyed a stop for refreshing Turkish tea in the traditional village of Bayir.
Amazing Tour. Made more incredible by our generous, friendly and welcoming guide - Ahmet. Saw some amazing sights. Experienced some things we’d never have otherwise done and hugely enjoyed the Tour. And his company. We’ve been lucky enough to do some lovely Tours the World over. And this was as good as any ! I would absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend booking this if there’s space available. Much more personal than sitting on a random bus Tour with 30 other people 😍
Ahmet is the best tour guide you can ask for, he will take you on a private tour to explore many hidden gems around marmaris, which is definitely a cery good opportunity to discover the area. Highly recommended.
Ahmet Varimli our guide was a real gentleman he spoke perfect english and took to views you wouldn't normally see perfect little 3 hour tour perfect for 2 or 3 people. we would recommend
This is the most amazing tour ever! Really does as it says and totally exceeds all expectations! Great communication and ran exactly on time as promised. Very informative the whole time and always happy to answer any questions you have. Great way to see a different side of turkey you would t usually get to see with some breathtaking views and picture opportunities on the way around. Ahmet was very kind a friendly and made you feel comfortable at all times, just like having a family memeber showing you around their local area. Lunch stop for pidas was excellent also. Would highly recommend this tour and if you’re considering it book it you will not regret the decision. Thank you for having us and showing us around we had an amazing day!

Ahmet made the tour a delight for me and my fiance. Our first time in marmaris and we wanted to avoid the over crowded commercialised tours, with this you get a private tour exploring hidden gems and history of marmaris as well as a taste for the authentic Turkey. Ahmet was so knowledgeable and even took a few photos of us together with the beautiful views of the villages and harbours. He was so helpful and we loved the Turkish tea and Pittas lunch stops. Definitely recommend this tour and Ahmet as a guide to what's what in Marmaris and the surrounding areas.
Dear Laura & Andy, Great thanks for your 5 star review. Appreciate it very much. Wish you both good days and hope you will like my recommendations in Marmaris. Kind Regards. Ahmet Varimli. Holiday Experiences Marmaris

What a great day. We sailed into Marmaris so it was so nice to get around into the bays and local mountain villages with a local. Ahmet was great company, very knowledgeable, and a safe driver. We would recommend this tour. Also, the locally made Pita lunch was delicious, and so is the honey.
Dear Julie & Philip, thank you so much for your 5 star review. It was great to have guests from Australia in Marmaris. Wish you a nice sailing with your 55f yacht. Hope to see you again at the bays you have seen today. Kind Regards. Ahmet Varimli Holiday Experiences Marmaris
