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 👏
Breathtaking landscapes and a well-organized tour. Lake Salda is simply magical – the water is so clear you can see all the way to the bottom. Pamukkale was also a dream, especially the feeling of walking barefoot over the warm travertine terraces. The organization was excellent. We highly recommend this tour!
From pick-up to return, everything was perfectly organized. The guide was very friendly and informative. I was particularly impressed by Pamukkale – the warm pools were very relaxing. Lake Salda was beautiful as well, but the highlight for me was Hierapolis – so much history in one place!
