The tour was fantastic. Everything was on schedule, there were good rest spots, and the tour guide was fantastic! He was incredibly informative and interesting, and I truly learned a lot from him. Everything was planned for us. I would absolutely suggest this tour to anyone visiting; Pamukkale was unquestionably the highlight of our trip. Thank you really much!
We chose this tour because there was no shopping along the way and we made the right decision. Our guides and driver were friendly, helpful and very professional. As written, we were able to spend 3.5 hours in Pammukale. Highly recommended.
We had the best experience of Pamukkale and Hierapolis with our tour guide Umut and driver Emre. Umut was very nice and gave a detailed tour of Heirapolis. He also suggested other activities like hot air ballooning and paragliding.
Umut was very informative and had organized the trip perfectly 👏
