Lets have a look at Excursions of some Tour Operaters
Some Tour Operaters Excursions are based on visiting Shopping Centres ,which more or less every Trip includes Carpet and/or Jewellery Centre visits so they can charge after your shopping in these places up to 30% commission. Not to mention that you will be paying more for your excursions. You will be spending (if not by force) more then an Hour in these carpet-jewellery places rather then being out and doing some sight-seeing. Also you will be not getting half of what the Locals are offering you..
I call it RIP-OFF ..What would you call it ?


Cheap and Dirty Tricks of some Tour Operater Reps :
During the Welcome Cocktail meetings they will tell you all sort of nasty stuff about the local agencys just to book you.
Reps will tell you that Local Agencies do not have relevant insurance and they do not turn up to pick up clients etc. This is a BIG LIE .. don't fall in this trap.

There are number of Local Travel Agencies within the Village.
Such as Panda Tour, Basket Travel , Sarigermetours and Caki Tours..But ,

Amongst these Local Agencies ;
Best established and most proffesional one is PANDA TRAVEL
which I am recommending this agency without any hesitation.

PANDA TRAVEL is localy owned Travel Agency and is the acknowledged expert in tours and activities in the region

In todays market Panda Travel offers the best possible service in terms of quality, efficiency and value for money by ensuring the most accurate match between customer and holiday.

You can enjoy more if you choose Panda Travel Local Agency, rather then your Rep who is willing to ripp you off by using the old tricks such as calling the local agencies poor quality service provider.

Panda Travel holds all required licens and is a member of association of Turkish Travel Agencys (TURSAB) this is equal to ABTA in the UK

All excursions and services provided by Panda Travel are conducted by fully qualified and absolute friendly Tour Guides.

No Cancellation, even if it is a one customer. It is important point considering there are cancellations with the tour operaters.

All vehicles operates on behalf of Panda Travel holds all required licenses and are fully insured and Airconditioned.

All member of Staff does speak fluent English as well as other languages.

This Agencies do not sell tours at the Beach !!!

This Agency is probably the only environmental friendly agency in the Village which actively supports environmental issues in the surrounding area.

Where is this Agency ?
Panda Tour is Located further up towards to Mosque of the Sarigerme Village.
You can not miss it as it has huge sign board display as Panda Travel.

WHAT TO BE TO BE AWARE OF !
I would like to urge visitors to the area not to rely on every information provided by the reps regards to the excursions as i have mentioned above,most of their excursions include rip-off shopping breaks where they cash in one way or another commissions from your shoppings. e.g Carpet ,Jewellery .

I do NOT recommend following trip

 

Trips such as Marmaris i do not recommend this is due to being a long drive -over 2 hours- one way. It is hot, not ideal for children at all, thousands of people touting etc. etc. Instead get a Dolmush on fridays to Ortaca Town-30min drive-for a £1 pp .

I recommend following trips with most confidence

Don't come up with the rubbish :
Oh' Locals don't have insurance ,THAT IS SUCH A STUPID COMMENT !!
This quote is allways used by the tour operater reps in order to sell you excursion,Regulations and Law are extremly harsh in Turkish Travel Industry.
They have regular checks,and one who does not comply with the rules and regulations will shutdown immedeatly.

SUITABLE TRIPS FOR CHILDREN

In my oppinion there are few trips where the little ones can enjoy.

Full day DALYAN Trip ( mudbaths - turtle beach etc. etc.) , this trip is ideal for any age. Constant changing scenery keeps everyone occupied , different stuff to do such as getting into the mud , seeing the little turtles , birds , stopping at the beach also guides are trying to show you even big turtles (depending on the boat traffic) and some live crabs ...Kids can steer the Boat where possible.
Boats are shady and specious , plenty breaks in between...

Or you can have this trip as half day without the mudbath with earlier start and head to see the giant Caretta Caretta Turtles.This is the trip where the kids go mad as soon as they see the giant turtles in the water where they may also get the chance to feed them..

12 ISLAND Boat trip is a must IF YOUR KID ENJOYS SWIMMING . All day long in crystal clear waters swimming, BBQ , ..big boats, plenty space for kids ...
