Really great. That is a place I have never seen before. Really pleasant experience. My kids loved it. Unsuitable for disabled people. Before ascending to the travertine, make sure to use the restroom. Provide a restroom at the beginning near where the automobiles halt. Everything is correct as it is described on the site.

Natural beauty, excellent tour leader. Our tour guide was kind, upbeat, and provided us useful information and entertaining stories without being overbearing. Hierapolis, hot springs, and travertine pools are historical context. Excellent facilities and stunning views. There are offered snacks and beverages; bring enough money. It was lovely.

Pamukkale is breathtaking, and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the city’s history and Heirapolis. Our tour guide and driver were punctual, courteous, and helpful, and they contributed to making our day memorable. They were fantastic, and I even used them to plan a Cappadocia tour. I will definitely recommend this tour. Thanks

It was a brilliant day! Our tour driver arrived on time to pick me up. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. He taught us a lot about Turkish history, culture, and way of life. He taught me a lot of things. The places we visited were great. I apologize for not being informed (or for missing this information) to bring my swimwear for the antique pool. Anyway, I had a good time at the Cotton Castle.

The Pamukkale tour was fantastic. The view is one-of-a-kind. The tour guide and driver were excellent. The tour guide is extremely chatty. We made a pit stop at a restaurant where we could eat and drink. If you want to swim in the Kleopatra swimming pool, you must pay the entrance fee yourself, which was approximately 10 euros. Bring a towel with you. Everyone should try it.

I had seen pictures of Pamukkale, but in reality, it is even more impressive. The water shimmers in different shades of blue, and the snow-white formations create an incredible contrast with the blue sky. A place that is not only beautiful but also historically fascinating.

Walking through Pamukkale, I kept thinking: This doesn’t look real! The stones, the water, the whole vibe – like something out of a fairy tale. At first, I was afraid the water would be too hot, but nope, it was just perfect. Such a beautiful day!
