“The transport was punctual, the guide was knowledgeable and helpful, the lunch was buffet style and was not good. Poor quality food. People were loading their plates and finishing the desserts. There was not much left for us. The visit to the stone workshop could have been left out. Time should rather be spent at the Hierapolis and the thermal springs. Overall, it was worth doing but the experience can be made better.”
