Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked my trips on line and was very impressed with how friendly and quickly I was contacted by WhatsApp to confirm a time and meeting place outside my hotel when I got to Marmaris. The agent was on time and didn’t push me into booking anything else. I was given very precise details of my trips meeting places and made payment. I went on 3 trips cleopatra island, mulga market and Rhodes. Each time I had clear details of what was happening along the way, pick up and collections were on time. I consider them all to be very good value for money and would recommend using this company when booking excursions.

We booked three experiences with this company.
1. A private transfer
2. Turkish bath
3. Jeep safari.
The transfer went smooth in both directions. The drivers were on time and where very pleasant.
2. Although our Turkish bath booking was changed it was very enjoyable and well worth it. Gives you a better tan.
3. Our booking was originally booked for the Tuesday the weather the forecast was meat to be rain so I messaged on the Monday asking if we could change it to the Thursday. This was done without a problem.
All in all we had no issues we were even met in the morning on the first day to receive our tickets. I wouks highly recommend using this company for any trips you have planned during your stay
Thanks for everything

We booked 3 excursions with Mares Travel. VIP Turkish bath £10, All inclusive pirate boat trip £15 and jeep safari £10 via Mares Travel online. We were met on the morning after arrival to pay for our trips and were informed that due to covid all aspects of our VIP Turkish bath could not be met. we were offered the opportunity to cancel or accept the normal bath at a £5 reduction. So happy we accepted the latter, yes they did try to upsell but a polite no was accepted and the pampering began. 10 minute sauna followed by a scrub and foam bath then a 20 minute massage and finally a face mask a thoroughly relaxing experience even taking into account the 20 euro tip we left between the 3 of us we felt the whole experience was excellent value. On the day of our boat trip one of our party was not feeling at their best and despite making the transfer bus we got off giving up on the trip. A couple of hours later we were contacted by Mares Travel offering us the opportunity to take up the boat trip on a different day. Both the boat trip and the jeep Safari exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Mares travel for 3 great value excursions. I should also say that we could have taken up their offer of a further 2 excursions free but as we were only there for a week we felt 3 was enough. Booking online saved us using up valuable holiday time talking to salesmen. Thanks again Mares travel for an excellent service and thanks to your service providers for 3 excellent excursions. Would definitely recommend Mares Travel.

First of all shout out to Emre who facilitated and handled the arrangements of our trip with professionalism. Very fast responses to our questions, came over to the hotel and dropped tickets, speaks multiple languages and and he has a very appealing personality. Trips wise, we booked two but unfortunately we were only able to attend one, "boat trip" with Davey Jones. It was very hot day and the whole 7 hours on this trip weren't exactly most comfortable but there few of stops to swim in some gulfs around the shore. The waters and beaches are amazing, water temperature was brilliant and the overall views and sights quite spectacular. The trip was all inclusive and we had plenty of refreshments and lunch, which was more than decent and substantial enough to keep us full. There were also plenty of extra charge items available, such as beers, soft drinks and ice cream. For the down sides, for us as a family it was hard to cope with the volume of the music, which was extreme, over the noise levels of s club and we (other families) even asked the "captain" to reduce it several times. The staff was helpful and cheerful, engaging and kind but also sneaky. Particularly the gentleman in charge of taking photos, the prices per photo differed from person to person, plus that we never received them as promised so we lost the money. Whatch out for that liar! Another downside was that we nearly crashed into other boats 3 times, causing a bit of panic, so the young captain needs a bit of guidance or to be assisted by a more experienced driver. The last downside was that there was no guide, no explanation whatsoever about the places we visited, the history or the logic of the stopping sequence. Was this trip worthy? The whole experience could be improved, first through transparency from the boat staff, no liars and equal prices, a bit of guidance and a touch lower music levels, after all you want to enjoy the trip, not shout at the person next to you. We came back exhausted, somewhat happy that we saw few beautiful places and with a bit of bitter after taste since we never recwhat we paid for. 5 stars for the travel agent, in our case Emre, 2 stars for the boat staff and 4 stars for the views.

I booked a Hot Air Balloon trip with this company before I flew to Turkey and the correspondence that I had with them was really good. They even told me that they would have to charge me and my wife an extra 10 euro each for collection and return to our resort as it was out of the pick up zone, which we agreed to.
On the day of the trip we got picked up from our resort and dropped off at the pick up point in Marmaris with no issues and the day was amazing going to Pamukkale for the experience of seeing the sun rise whilst in the hot air balloon over the salt lake.
The issue was when we were returning to the drop off point and we had nobody waiting to take us back to the resort. The tour guide rang Mares up to see if they would be picking us up but they said they wouldn't and this was reflected in the money we had to pay.
If I had known this then, I wouldn't of went with this company.
Please be aware that this company can not be trusted on what they promise and left us with a taxi expense and the stress of getting back to our resort.
This company should be called NightMARES

Where do I start! We booked all our excursions through these guys before our holiday and it was the best decision we could have made. We booked 5 excursions that were all cheaper than any one else that booked with other agencies. The agency rep Emre was amazing, he communicated with us with any enquiry we had, wasn't pushy like other reps and was super friendly, a really nice guy!
I strongly recommend you use this service, I rarely leave a review like this but after hearing others experiences with other agencies, I felt I had to.
Well done Mares Travel Agency and thank you Emre!

This was the best boat trip I've been on while holidaying outside the UK. I booked it online through Mares Travel for a very reasonable price, which included being picked up from my hotel in the morning and dropped off later in the afternoon. Soft drinks were free while on board the boat, and the crew cooked a very tasty BBQ lunch for all the people on the boat which was included in the price. The boat stopped off at a few places where you could get out and swim in the sea, which was really good fun. Would recommend bringing arm bands for young children as the sea was quite deep in places. Also stopped off at Turunc to look round some shops where we picked up some nice souvenirs at good prices. It was well organised and the crew were very pleasant and not pushy. Bring some extra cash if you want ice creams or other snacks on board for the kids, but the lunch was enough for me. Would recommend this trip for anyone staying in Marmaris.

My mum, dad and I all went on the overnight Ephesus and Pamukkale trip from Icmeler and had a great time. Our main tour guide "Bestie" was lovely. Friendly, knowledgeable and very passionate about her job. The driver and other tour guide Barney were also friendly and helpful and we spent just the right amount of tim at both Ephesus and Pamukkale. The overnight hotel was comfortable with a nice pool. Meals throughout were buffet style with drinks not included in the price but very reasonable. It is a long drive from the Marmaris and Icmeler region to both Ephesus and Pamukkale so going overnight is a bonus as the driving is split between the two days and, as you stay close to Pamukkale you arrive early before the rush.
We would definitely recommend this trip with this company as plenty to see and do to keep everyone interested and entertained and all staff so friendly. We all had a great time. I also did the additional hot air balloon flight over Pamukkale which meant a second early morning start but was an amazing and beautiful way to see Pamukkale and the surrounding countryside at sunrise and again very good value for money.

We had an amazing time in Marmaris thanks to Emre! He planned three tours for us: Jeep safari, paragliding and a private boat trip. He organized each excursion perfectly, and chose the best trips for us! He was always 24/7 answering any questions and very attentive’ answered all and any questions, was very kind and worked very operatively. Explained everything very detailed and understandable. I can’t even decide which tour was better. everything was so much fun! The trips were unforgettable! Emre planned everything perfectly which wasn’t easy because we are a group of 8 people all with different preferences. We didn’t have a lot do time and Emre chose the three best trips that suited both kids and adults. Every trip was the best, both kids and adults were very very happy! All the staff and everyone involved were so nice, kind and attentive. Couldn’t have asked for better service, it was the best. Everything was perfect! Thank you so much Emre!!! We hope to come back to Marmaris and book some more tours with you! Thank you so so much!!!

We contacted Mares travel from the UK to pre book a day trip from Marmaris to Rhodes, the journey was arranged for the day after our arrival in Marmaris and Mares travel went above and beyond with informative messages and prompt delivery of our ticket directly to our hotel.. the information/texts and aftercare following our trip was extremely professional and would highly recommend their services… I will certainly use again..
The day trip itself is priced reasonably and really enjoyable, Rhodes old town is extremely pretty and historic with shops , restaurants and lovely walks. We had a 0730 prompt pick for a 0930-45 sailing and return sailing was at 1630 with coach returning us to our hotel … a fantastic day trip, however a negative is passport control… extensive queues that really need processed quicker..a huge time waster particularly in Rhodes. A great day and our thanks to Mares travel for the smooth sailing and service.
