Traveler reviews
Convenient family tour
The tour is well-thought and quite convenient. Thanks to our guide Abo, everything went smooth. I liked the place we had stop for a breakfast. We watched beautiful sunrise in the mountains through large panorama windows in this cafe. Pamukkale itself was of course outstanding. We have arrived to the South Gate by 10. Abo (Abdullah) gave us a small interesting unostentatious introduction and we had three hours of free time afterwards. Around 13:30 we had nice lunch (buffet) and were ready to return. I did this tour together with my mom (55 years old). She found it to be comfortable enough and managed long trip well. Thank you very much for the nice atmosphere and good organization.
Great excursion
This was an amazing experience in Pamukkale. The views by Pamukkale were breathtaking and the museum was good. The only thing I found difficult was the travel as it was far. We were staying in a hotel in Belek so our pickup time was super early. Having said that, our guide Apo was amazing, very informative and ensured that we got the best experience out of it.
Very special
It is really a nice day. We are happy with this tour. The pamukkale is very special. The guide is very professional and friendly.
Don’t Book this one.
Don’t go, it says start time is 05:30, this was changed late on the day before (after cancellation time) to 03:50 so we didn’t go. Complete waste of time and money. Now seeking a refund. Disgraceful.
Great experience and super guide
We had a great day visiting Pamukkale and Hierapolis. Everything was very well organised from the pick-up to the end of the day. Our guide APO was very kind, helpful and organised and we highly recommend doing a trip with him. We definitely recommend this trip. Thank you for everything.
