From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 7.
Bodrum Castle (Saint Peter's Castle) One of Bodrum's most iconic structures, Bodrum Castle was built by the Knights of St. John in the 15th century. One of the best-preserved medieval castles on the Aegean coast, the structure has carried traces of different cultures with the addition of a mosque during the Ottoman period. While there are different sections such as French, English, German and Italian towers inside the castle, visitors can enjoy the magnificent view of the Aegean Sea. In addition to being a military structure, the castle is one of the most important symbols of Bodrum's cultural and historical identity today.
Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum The Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum, located inside Bodrum Castle, is considered one of the most important underwater museums in the world. The museum, which exhibits artifacts unearthed from shipwreck excavations in the Aegean and Mediterranean, sheds light on maritime history. Among the most striking exhibitions in the museum are: Uluburun Shipwreck (one of the oldest shipwrecks in the world, dating back to the 14th century BC), Glass Shipwrecks Collection, Amphorae, jewelry and objects related to seafaring, and shipwrecks from the Ottoman and Roman periods.
Myndos Gate, which is part of the defensive walls of ancient Halicarnassus (Bodrum), was built by King Mausolus. This is one of the points where Alexander the Great encountered the greatest resistance when he tried to conquer the city in 334 BC. The remains of the gate include ancient city walls, moats and buried tomb structures. Myndos Gate, one of the most important historical remains of Bodrum's ancient past, is a point not to be missed for history enthusiasts.
One of the symbols of Bodrum, Bodrum Windmills were built in the 18th century and were used for wheat milling in the region for many years. Located between Bodrum and Gumusluk, these historical mills offer a fascinating view, especially at sunset.
One of the oldest structures in Bodrum, Bodrum Ancient Theatre was built in the 4th century BC during the reign of King Mausolus of Caria. The structure, which has the typical features of Hellenistic period theatres, has a capacity of 13,000 people and still hosts concerts and events today. The view from the theatre towards Bodrum Castle and the Aegean Sea offers a unique atmosphere to visitors.

John was awesome. On time, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We have mobility issues and he kept the pace perfect. His knowledge of history and area fact was awesome for a young man. Extremely enjoyed our day.
Our tour guide allowed us to read each sign and enjoy the historic sites while keeping us on schedule. We enjoyed a local lunch with our guide and driver
I can’t say enough about this awesome experience with our tour guide Esan! She instantly felt as if she was family. She literally guided and advised us throughout our day. Her generosity made our trip to Turkey exceptional. This tour is a must do!
Tas and Boss was very knowledgeable. We had a great time.
With Sinan as our private guide, my husband and I gained a lot of great insights into the history and culture of Bodrum. Sinan was a delight! Beyond being very knowledgeable, he was fun to be with and was happy to accommodate our slower pace and mobility challenges! He was a Turkish delight!!
This private tour was amazing! Our driver Ali and tour guide Selene was wonderful! Private tour with me and my husband was intimate and Seline is so knowledgeable with Bodrum! Tour and shopping spots! Very stylish Maybach ride! Lovely day! Would recommend to anyone looking for personal private attention!
Our tour was good. I was surprised by the stop at the carpet and jewlery shop as it wasn't noted in the itineray. We were able to customize parts to make it more accessible to our whole group. Our guide TAS was very nice.
Some people visiting the castle might have difficulty with the stairs, however, Gigi our guide was good and had us go down rather than up the steepest stairs. Our guide was very knowledgeable, considerate and helpful. The private car was a Mercedes van with custom interior. They provided us with cold water. We would recommend that you ask for Gigi.
Excellent trip with Tad snd Boss. He was very personable and knowledgeable would recommend.!
Amazing experience and our guide Ugur was very knowledgeable! Felt like a VIP experience! He also helped to take some great pictures for us!
