Description
You will explore the Bodrum city with your guide privately. You can design your program with your guide and if you visit the castle or shopping in Bodrum it can be accommodated.
After exploring the ancient treasures of Bodrum Castle, we will continue our journey through history by visiting a traditional weaving workshop just 10 minutes away. Here, we will discover one of Anatolia’s oldest living arts, a weaving tradition that has survived for more than 3,000 years.
As local women demonstrate the skills passed down through generations, we will learn about the stories, symbols, and techniques behind this remarkable craft. Accompanied by freshly made Turkish gözleme and genuine local hospitality, this experience will allow us to witness a living heritage that remains an important part of village life today.
Rather than viewing history behind glass, we will experience it firsthand—through the people who continue to preserve and practice this ancient tradition every day.+

Great morning exploring Bodrum!
What a fantastic morning getting to see some of the Bodrum sites! Our guide Ufuk was so kind, lovely and knowledgeable. The Bodrum castle is definitely a can't miss for history buffs. It's truly one of the most fascinating castles we've had the pleasure to see. Thank you so much for the great tour of a beautiful city!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your fantastic review!
We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful morning exploring Bodrum with Ufuk. His knowledge and passion for Bodrum’s history are exactly what we hope our guests experience when discovering this fascinating city.
And we completely agree—**Bodrum Castle is a must-see for anyone interested in history.** Standing above the harbour, surrounded by centuries of history, it is one of the places that truly brings Bodrum’s past to life. We’re very happy that it became one of the highlights of your visit.
For future travelers, this private walking tour is a great way to discover Bodrum’s history and main sights with a knowledgeable local guide, while enjoying the city at a relaxed pace and learning the stories behind what you see.
Thank you again for choosing us and for your kind recommendation. If you enjoyed your experience, we would be very grateful if you recommended us to your friends and family. We would also love to welcome you back to Bodrum for one of our other private experiences.
And perhaps next time, instead of just a morning in Bodrum, you can stay with us for **a full week aboard one of our private gulets**—discovering a different turquoise bay every day, with your own boat, captain and crew.
We hope to see you again in beautiful Bodrum! 🇹🇷

Beautiful and great time in Bodrum
We had Alfie as our guide and he is very flexible with our schedule and he has very good knowledge of history and also a very good story teller.
We are a group of seniors that needed time to walk around the castle and he was very patient with us. Highly recommended if you need a walking tour in Bodrum.

Family vacation, cruise to Bodrum & Greek Isles
Our walking tour in Bodrum with Eylem was wonderful. Traveling with my family, we all thoroughly enjoyed her knowledge, professionalism, flexibility and pleasant manner. I will recommend this tour to my family & friends… and tell them to request Eykem for their tour guide!

Fantastic Tour and Tour Guide. We highly recommend!
The tour was fantastic. We very much enjoyed the with him. His professionalism, friendliness and spending time on the most important points was spot on. It was a walking tour and we spent 3 hours walking through various points in the city. Almost 5 miles of walking. Really enjoyed the experience and wish we had more time to explore the local area.

Bodrum: worth the visit
Our guide Orhan was excellent. He was quick to respond to texts. He was punctual and met us at the shuttle stop. He was very knowledgeable about Bodrum and the castle. He has a great personality and spending time with him was very enjoyable.
The castle is definitely worth visiting but if you can’t manage stairs I don’t recommend it. There are a lot of stairs and they tend to be uneven.

Great tour. Amazing things to see. Great guide.
Had a fantastic tour with the highly knowledgable Sami. So much to see and learn about. After the city went into the countryside for authentic food. Booked Sami again for a bespoke tour of Iasos and a great vineyard. Get this guy he is great.
