This is a good day trip! Exchange vouchers for boat tickets with your passports and 20euros per person tax, then board. Upstairs is enclosed and cool with a nice view, downstairs has the toilets and bar but is a little more crowded. Take the bus when you arrive for a tour of the town and lots of useful information from a fun guide. You are taken to a gold centre where the salesmen will try to talk you into a deal but they are not overly aggressive! Same in the paradise shop which is the town drop off and pick up point. Good quality fakes there too. In the bazaar around, be careful of some mixed quality items and ALWAYS barter! We averaged 35 to 50% off the original asking price there. Enjoy free time around the harbour or in the streets behind where food and drink was reasonable and tasty. Easy trip with help around all over if needed. Good purchases made, sights seen, and age 18 to 55 all enjoyed equally. Would recommend.

Really great day out. Everything went really smoothly, they were on schedule with all activities and it was really organised. Guide provided good information, tips and had a good sense of humour. 4 hours was plenty in marmaris, gave time to explore shops, have food and go to the beach which was a 5 minute walk away. Would recommend!
