Traveler reviews
Great experience and views
The travertines look as good in person as they do in pictures. Nur, the guide, gave a great explanation about the city and the history. You’re given 3 hours to do what you like in the area. You pay the admissions fee on the way to the city which covers visiting the museum, walking up to the theatre, and walking through the travertines. There is an extra fee to visit the Cleopatra pools but the trip is still enjoyable without it. The experience requires an early start but better to visit when there are fewer visitors to get nice pictures and less traffic in the travertines.
Nur Made the Experience Truly Special
Highly recommend this experience! The trip itself was amazing, but what really makes a difference on tours like this is the guide you get. We were incredibly lucky to have Nur as our guide. She was so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring throughout the whole day. She explained everything with passion, made everyone feel comfortable, and created such a great atmosphere for the group. Thanks to her, the entire experience was on another level. Nur truly made this trip special and unforgettable. Thank you again!

Very good and professional tour guide called Nur. The tour guide was very informative and entertaining plus gave personal opinions on were to visit first. Overall I enjoyed the tour.
Beautiful place but too crowded, making it impossible to enjoy the location... Quite a long day, so plan for good shoes.
