Day 1: Marmaris

Location: Marmaris

Accommodation Name: Gulet (Marmaris)

Meals Included: Dinner

We begin our journey at Marmaris Harbour, where boarding starts at 16:30. On our first day, we will enjoy dinner and spend the night on the boat, docked in Marmaris Port.





Marmaris, built upon the ancient Karian city of Phyckos, has been influenced by many different civilizations throughout its history. If you wish to head out and explore the city, one of the most remarkable sights to visit is Marmaris Castle, which dates back to 1577.





As you venture a bit further, you will find the ruins of antiquity on Asar Hill, a small hill located on the northern side of the city. Renowned as one of Turkey's top tourist destinations, Marmaris also boasts a large marina, perfect for exploring the stunning coastline. Enjoy your first night onboard, before we set sail tomorrow.

Day 2: Dalyan

Location: Dalyan

Accommodation Name: Gulet (Dalyan)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Marmaris - Dalyan. After breakfast, you will be briefed about the cruise itinerary and the boat. Our cruise will then set off towards Ekincik Gulf. From here, you can enjoy a leisurely day of sunbathing, or opt to join a tour of the town of Dalyan.





If you choose the tour, you will be transferred from our yacht to a small boat known as a “piyade.” Our first stop will be Caretta-Caretta Beach, where we can enjoy a refreshing swim. As we cruise along the river, we’ll have the chance to take in the stunning natural beauty of the delta. We will also see the ancient Rock Tombs before reaching the mud baths, where we can relax and rejuvenate.





After our visit to the mud baths, we will return to our yacht via the piyade boat. Our evening will conclude with dinner and an overnight stay in the Gulf of Ekincik.

Day 3: Kizil Island

Location: Kizil Island

Accommodation Name: Gulet (Kizil Island)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Dalyan - Kizil Island. Due to the choppy waters around Disibilmez and Kurtoglu capes, we will set sail earlier than usual and make our way to the renowned Gocek Gulf. Our first stop will be Sunken Bath, where we will enjoy breakfast and take a swim. This area, also called Cleopatra Bay or Sunken Bath Bay, is famed for the stunning underwater ruins of an ancient bathhouse. Afterwards, we will cruise to Tersane Island, a naturally sheltered harbour that once served as a shipyard during both the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Kizil Island.

Day 4: Fethiye

Çetin ATEŞ
Ali İlter

Location: Fethiye

Meals Included: Breakfast

Kizil Island - Fethiye. Arriving at Fethiye Harbour in the early morning, you'll step ashore in a place once known as Telmessos in ancient times. Telmessos was the most significant city on the western edge of Lycia, bordering Caria. Its name is thought to derive from Telmessos, son of the god Apollo, symbolising the city’s association with light and its famed prophets.





For those interested, an optional jeep safari tour of Fethiye is available. Guests not joining the safari can cruise to Samanlik Bay for lunch and a swim. Later, around 16:00, the boat will anchor at Ece Saray Marina. Final disembarkation takes place at around 16:30.

Recently returned from Greece, a 5 day tour with OTG. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience on day 2 where I needed local support to get me out of a tricky situation. Thank you to Alexandra Z from Hetco Tours in Athens for helping me continue on with the trip, to the Hotel Zafolia staffing team and to Danielle and team here in the UK for supporting me with the aftermath. Your kindness will not be forgotten and I will pay it forward. I've now booked 3 trips with yourselves and will continue to go back. Thank you all. Honestly, I am SO grateful. Blessings to you all.

Wonderful experience

05-Jan-2023

Jamal is our tour guide. Right from the start, he created a group chat in whatsapp and if any issues to make sure we contact him. He was on the ball with every issue thrown at him. Luggage being left behind, stragglers wondered off in a different path, hotel room etc. He explains the various site along our route to give us a better understanding of the local cultures. We had a great time, thanks to Jamal.

Land of the Northern Lights 5 day tour of Iceland

10-Sep-2021

The Land of Northern Lights tour was a triumph! My tour of Southern Iceland was absolutely wonderful. The venues chosen, the timing allotted at each venue and the variety of things to experience was nearly perfect. Our guide, "Thor", was smart, amusing, full of history and anecdotal stories as well as being incredibly hospitable and helpful. This small group experience was my first, but not my last thanks to On the Go.

On The Go Tours Sri Lanka was an incredible experience that was made even better by our tour guide Akthar. He was incredibly knowledgeable about his country and he loved sharing it with us. The tour covers a wide range of activities so you can truly experience what Sri Lanka is all about. The beautiful 4-5 star hotels at the end of every day was an absolute bonus. Thanks for a great trip OTGT I’m sure this won’t be my last

King Tutankhamun 10 day tour of Egypt

16-Sep-2021

I have just returned from my tour with On The Go and it was an amazing trip! From arriving at the airport and meeting the OTG representative, everything was well organised and hassle free.  Our tour guide was Amir. He is awesome!! From the beginning he was so friendly and enthusiastic about showing us around Egypt, giving us loads of information at each place and time to explore ourselves. Learnt so much from him about this fascinating place, and he was always happy to answer more questions.   The trip itself was amazing. There's lots of travelling on this trip, but it's really not too bad, and the sights you see when you get to where you are going are worth it. I'm not a big fan of boats, but the Felluca ride across the Nile was pretty fun too.  On the first day I also did the optional tour of Cairo with Ahmed Helal - another excellent guide from OTG. It's worth doing this add on as you don't spend much time in Cairo, and you go to three very different places.  I'm so glad that I decided to do this trip. It was just ace.  If you're thinking about it too, you should probably just book it. And hopefully you get Amir as your guide.

09-May-2024

I would give this tour group no stars if possible. The tour was not guaranteed but they did not inform me when I booked and they did not have enough people. Way after I booked they said I needed a doctors letter because I was over 70. Also way after booking I was informed I needed travel insurance. They knew my age when I booked. They would not refund my tour even though it was 4 months away.

26-Nov-2024

This company doesn’t deserve even 1 star. I would not recommend this company. There are hidden fees which means the cost of the holiday ends up being very expensive. We recently came back from our trip to China where it is not customary to tip in restaurants & hotel staff. Yet we had to make a payment upfront in cash to to the guide for more than £100. The hotel service was appalling. Just think £100 from each person. The trip was suppose to be a Tour yet we had to pay for all entrance fees. We complained about the poor condition of the hotels but no one responded to our emails to date. The after sales service is non existent. Do not use this company. Far far too expensive for what you get. Not competitive at all. They messed up our booking; repeatedly asked for the same information. We spent so much time correcting their errors. Very difficult to get hold of anyone because they all work in S Africa or New Zealand. Absolute nightmare

27-Dec-2023

Terrible tour of India. For some reason On the Go hadn't realised that my room mate had booked her own room for the first night of tour. So the hotel in Delhi had tried to put me in her room after midnight, by wheeling in an extra bed. She went Crazy!! I then had to sit in hotel reception for hours. While the tour guide said he couldn't find me a room. Throughout the tour the guide consistently ask me and my room mate for money for my room, causing more friction between us. Don't book with this company had the worst experience ever. Go with Intrepid or G Adventure

09-Aug-2023

I had used them once before and loved them. I decided to try them again for a Baltic tour not knowing that they put me on another Tour group- Baltic vision. Loved that tour but was not impressed they marked up the cost for me over 100%. I understand taking some for yourself because of paperwork, but over double the cost everyone else paid on the tour. Just double check before you book with them that you’re not over paying.
