A beautiful day!

I was a little wary of this tour after they cancelled the Salda Lake part due to not enough interest, and of course lots of online reviews saying Pamukkale was dried up/too busy/no longer worth visiting. However, it was an absolutely fantastic day! Pamukkale is still breathtakingly beautiful, and the historic city of Hierapolis is fascinating. Some of the travertines have dried out yes, but there are still plenty with water in and they are not overcrowded if you have a little patience. Tour wise, everything was well organised and ran smoothly, the transport was comfortable, the lunch was lovely. And a huge shout out to our tour guide Osman who was absolutely lovely, very knowledgeable and kept everyone happy and entertained the entire day! Highly recommend.

Well organized excursion

The trip was well organized, I received a pre-SMS on WhatsApp and could ask questions (Mete) and email. I liked the excursion itself, minus only for lunch (quality and drinks were not included), there was enough time, but it was possible to give less time to the lake as no one swam there, but more time on Pamukkale, 😊 in general, I was satisfied. Thanks to your entire team!

Nice !

We had a pleasant day. The guide was very nice. The bus was on time at 5:20. Too bad we wasted 2 hours picking up other people from their hotel. We left Antalya at 7:30 a.m. Breakfast nothing more. Lunch very good but late. We ate at 4:30 p.m. Lake Salda is a marvel. Not too many people. We only stayed there for 45 minutes, much to our regret. Lots of people in Pamukale. Difficult to appreciate. You have to go all the way down to have fewer people. Shoes are prohibited. It slips a lot. Be careful. Cleopatra's pool is also full of people and the water is very warm. I didn't appreciate it. The Hierapiolis site is beautiful. There are small cars that can take you there. Sultriness. Entrance to Pamukale and cleopatra pool = 30€ Total day 63€ without drinks and extras. I wanted to visit this site so no regrets.

Tour super transfer disaster

We were picked up by a private transfer in the morning and taken to a bus. A disaster. It ran over everything that wasn't out of the way at 3... I still have goosebumps from it. It put us in constant danger. The tour itself was great. Our tour guide "Abby", I think her name was, was super motivated and it was fun. But the transfer was just a disaster. Lake Salda was our highlight.
