Individual tour with valuable insights and a great, very pleasant guide! - We had a wonderful day with Mehmet, who guided us throughout the day with his extensive knowledge and perfect English, giving us a deeper understanding of the history and culture of his homeland. It was our first time visiting Turkey, and we gained valuable new perspectives and insights.
The travel agency also runs tours in the mid-season with no minimum number of participants and in very small groups – which meant that we, as a family, enjoyed a private tour. An experience we wouldn't want to miss!

A tour of Tlos, Saklikent Gorge and Gizlikent Waterfall with Mehmet. - We spent an excellent day on the Tlos, Saklikent Gorge and Gizlikent Waterfall tour. What made the tour excellent was our Guide Mehmet. He had a wonderful knowledge of not just the places we visited but also the whole of Lycia and kept us informed and entertained throughout. The tour was carried out at our pace enabling us to take in the history, the sights as well as walking down into the Gorge and upstream in the river to the Waterfall. I'd recommend this tour (with Mehmet) to all and everyone, it was one of the main highlights of our holiday.
Thanks again Mehmet for a great tour.

Fantastic day trip! - I don’t leave reviews often, however, we have had a great day going to Tlos, Saklikent Gorge and Glizlikent waterfall with Chillax Travel and wanted to share our experience. We booked directly and Şükrü was fantastic to book with, with timely and clear communication. We were picked up from our hotel by our guide, Mehmet, and a driver and were delighted to find out that my family (2 adults and a 7 and 10 year old) were the only ones on the tour. Mehmet was a wonderful guide, was very knowledgeable and was great with our kids. He even helped us to navigate through the river to get to the waterfall at Glizlikent! Saklikent and Glizlikent were beautiful and Tlos was bought to life by Mehmet’s description. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day and it was much better value than anything we could’ve booked through our hotel, especially as a delicious lunch was also included. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chillax tours to anyone travelling to the Fethiye area.

We had some time to kill and enjoyed this trip out of season - Mehmet was incredibly knowledgeable about Tlos and gave us plenty of time to appreciate the site and the views. The other two places were out of season, Gorge and Waterfall, so we were not able to appreciate fully but Mehmet and the driver were brilliant and the lunch was good.

Fantastic experience... - Really enjoyed this trip. Tlos was interesting and the nature at the gorge and waterfall is amazing. We had 15 people in our group, so it felt lively but still well-managed. The water in the gorge is freezing but so refreshing! Special thanks to our guide for making the day so much fun. Great value for a full day tour. Don't forget your water shoes!

Great day, totally worth it 5 Stars - Honestly, I’m so glad we picked this instead of those massive groups. We were only like 15 people, so it felt really chill and we didn't waste time waiting for everyone. Saklikent is amazing but freezing lol! The lunch near the waterfall at Gizlikent was actually good not the usual boring tour food. Our guide was super friendly and the driver was great too. If you want a relaxed day without being rushed around, just go with these guys.

A memorable second day in Fethiye - This is was our second tour with Chillax and Mehmet. The man is a walking encyclopedia, he could answer any question you could throw at him. Whether it was about the surroundings, history and architecture.
As a couple we love taking pictures and videos and he was very patient with us. He also took a lot of our photos. We now have lots of memories thanks to him.
We got to visit Tlos, which was truly breathtaking and full of history. We also got to visit Saklikent Gorge. While we can't venture too far into it because its unsafe during the season, it was still a lovely view.
After, Mehmet took us to a local Turkish restaurant to sample the local cuisine. The food was delicious. We feel like we truly got a great experience of Fethiye these past two days.

Such a Great Day! - We were really happy to participate in this tour. Everything from start to finish was easy and well-organized, and we never felt hasty or tired. Our guide was very friendly and informative - to be honest, I felt like I was being taken by a friend. The walk through Saklikent Canyon was amazing, and the views at Tlos were absolutely stunning. The lunch was delicious too. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Fethiye!
