Perfect Bodrum tour
We had such a great day exploring Bodrum with Orhan! We loved seeing the castle museum and then walking around the bustling city center. Orhan was a great guide, taking the time to find out what we wanted from the day and doing his best to make it happen. We are grateful for the hospitality and the memories! Looking forward to next time!
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience!
It was a pleasure to welcome you to Bodrum and to show you some of the highlights of our beautiful town. We are especially happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Bodrum Castle and the lively city centre with Orhan.
At Face to Face Travel, we believe a private tour should be more than simply visiting the sights. Taking the time to understand what each guest wants from their day and adapting the experience accordingly is what makes a tour truly personal.
We are delighted that you enjoyed the day, the hospitality, and the memories you made in Bodrum. We would be very happy to welcome you back for another Face to Face experience and show you even more of Bodrum next time!
Warm regards,

Bodrum guided tour
Really cozy trip, good engaged guides, the stops on the guided tour were a bit short, but there was a really sweet sheep. Bonus that you get driven around in a bus with air conditioning, so the heat won't get too violent. Good food.
Operator response
Thank you very much for sharing your lovely feedback with us!
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day trip from Kos to Bodrum and appreciated our friendly and engaged guides, the air-conditioned transportation, and the delicious food.
As this is a day trip from Kos, we carefully plan the programme to give our guests the opportunity to experience the highlights of Bodrum while also leaving some free time to enjoy the bazaar and explore the city at their own pace. We are especially happy that you enjoyed this part of the experience!
And of course, we are glad our little four-legged friend made the tour even more memorable! 🐑😊
Thank you for choosing Face to Face Travel. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Bodrum again in the future.

Awesome personal tour
Wonderful and seamless experience. Our guide Orhan and driver met us at the stated time. Orhan was super friendly, knowledgeable, and tailored our tour to exactly our needs. The car was a comfortable, air-conditioned custom Mercedes. Conversation flowed easily and he was able to keep everyone interested. We were able to skips sites which we were not too interested in, and he was even able to take us to a specific boutique on the marina that my mother wanted to shop at during the shopping section. The shopping portion was not like other tours, where they take you to a pre-determined vendor and it feels a little forced - we were able to roam freely in the marina, and Orhan helped guide us to specific boutiques but was never pushy.
The agency communicated via Whatsapp and gave all the details beforehand, and were extremely responsive, typically getting back to me within hours. They were also able to adjust the tour to the time which worked best for us. Would highly recommend!
Operator response
Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day with Orhan and our driver, and that the tour was tailored to your family’s interests and expectations. Creating flexible and personalized experiences is exactly what we aim for, so it is wonderful to know that you appreciated the freedom to explore at your own pace and focus on the places that mattered most to you.
It is especially rewarding to hear that the shopping experience felt relaxed and authentic rather than structured around predetermined stops. We believe every guest should have the opportunity to enjoy Bodrum according to their own interests, and we are pleased that Orhan was able to assist while giving you the space to explore freely.
Thank you as well for your kind words about our communication before the tour. We always strive to be responsive and provide clear information to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience from the very beginning.
Your recommendation means a great deal to our entire team. It was a pleasure welcoming you and your family to Bodrum, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again on a future visit to Türkiye.
Warm regards,
Bodrum /Face to Face Team
