“3 hours to get to the site which your warned off after a stop of at a factory/shop for a few expensive pieces of carved stone!!!! Ok look good and are very detailed but I’d rather have time on trip location Anyway we arrived at Pamukkale with a short tour with the guide then we had 3 hours only free time to see the ruined city of Hirapolis, a swim in Cleopatra pool if wanted a wander around the museum and the walk on the unique terraces that is Pamukkales natural wonder! I didn’t get chance to do all as the area is vast so lost out on a swim…”

We Arrived on Pamukkale at 1:45pm in the hottest part of the day . And we had time just till 4:30 pm to explore the whole site!! and arrived back in my hotel at 8 pm. Too much time was wasted with this tour and not recommend this. advertising with small tour is misleading as I was expecting only 6-8 people not 18 people from various hotels.”

Her English and knowledge was excelent Its was a long road trip over 3 hours with stops but the bus was well ventilated and M gave us much information. On arrival we were straight through the queue and learning about the site. It was really hot so remember to bring a hat! Hers an opportunity to swim in cleopatra pool but with an extra cost we stuck with the travatines - it was quite difficult underfoot as you need to go bare foot but there was amazing views! We had lots of time…”

“Overall, there was an amazing experience. The activity was divided equally on two days with two separate guides. The time at Ephesus was simply amazing and overall very educational. Our guide was very professional in her knowledge of the site as well as history. Through accommodations were satisfactory, although there was some confusion with the number of beds and how best to accommodate the five members in our party. Our second day at Pamukkale was also magical. The hot springs were truly excited to be seen. Interestingly, the two hour ride from our evening accommodations to Pamukkale across the Turkish countryside was also very impressive. Our second guide, on day…”

“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.”

“Enjoyable day, guide was very good and knowledgeable. Kept well informed right up to the trip and punctual pick up and drop off. Would have liked more than 1 hour at Pamukkale- it was a bit rushed for us. Lunch was poor quality at a local venue and together with about a zillion other tour operators grabbing food like it was feeding time at the zoo. Stop off at Onyx factory was a waste of time for us but understandable that business is needed for the local community. We just didn’t like the pressure of having to purchase something we didn’t want.”
