Marmaris shopping trip

Terrible experience. The driver and guide were very kind and helpful but the overall experience of the tour is terrible. From start to end, it is just an experience to milk tourists out of their money. The first stop was a gold store which was of no one interest. Then the "bazaar textile" was just a bunch of stored selling fake merchandise with harassing sellers. There were was nothing to see in the bazaar it was all dupes and aggressive sellers. Waste of time.

Es war alles supi. Der Mitarbeiter hat alles gut erklärt.

Wszystko ok

Wie bereits mitgeteilt wurden wir erst einen Abend vor dem Ausflug darüber informiert, dass wir der englischsprachigen Gruppe zugeteilt wurde. Wir wurden nicht vor die Wahl gestellt, ob wir dies auch wollen oder lieber den Ausflug stornieren! Das ist nicht korrekt: ich spreche gar kein Englisch und mein Mann ein wenig. Die Reiseleiterin hat sich zwar sehr bemüht verstanden habe ich aber so gut wie gar nichts. Der Ausflug kostete 52 Euro. Die hätte ich gerne wieder.

The staff, trip too and from Marmaris were informative and enjoyable. The actual shopping experience was something we regret. The Gold shop was, unless you were prepared to make expenditures not usual in such a time scale, a waste of time. The clothing shop we were directed too and based around was without doubt the centre of Genuine Fakes, however the prices are were higher than expected for Fakes, non the less the staff were polite and efficient.

What I enjoyed: The scenery along the way to Marmaris was beautiful and the overall trip was well-organized in terms of timing. The guide spoke good English and was friendly throughout. What I didn’t like as much: The shopping experience felt a bit rushed and heavily focused on certain stores, which seemed more like arranged stops than free exploration. It would have been nicer to have more time and freedom to explore local shops and the market independently.
