On arrival, you'll stop by the Pam Hotel for a spot of lunch, before we make our way to the main event. A sight to behold, Pamukkale's natural springs solidified into chalk-white stalactites and cliffs long ago, resulting in a winter-like wonderland of petrified tiers and pools. People have bathed here for thousands of years, including Roman emperors. Follow in their footsteps, bathe in one of the thermal pools or simply make your way to the top and drink in the magnificent views. Next up is the ancient spa town of Hierapolis. You'll have free time to explore its well-preserved ruins, including ancient streets, a 13,000-seat theatre and the thermal baths – known as Cleopatra's pool due to her reputation of eternal youth. A dip is extra but well worth forking out for the experience of bathing in an oasis scattered with Roman artefacts. What's more, for every sale of this experience, there's a donation to CYDD, a charity that helps in the education of underprivileged children in Turkey.

Carol_L, Jun 2026

An Awesome Tour

We had a wonderful Ephesus tour and lunch experience through Turquesa Tours. Very professionally run. Loved the WhatsApp message to remind us of the tour, person to contact when we walk out of the cruise terminal if we don’t see our names/tour guide and also allowing us to communicate with them efficiently. Our guide, Ibrahim Battal, was absolutely amazing. He was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of Ephesus to life with fascinating insights and engaging stories. As a person born in Selcuk, his passion for the region and attention to detail made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Our driver, Ismail Sonmez, was equally excellent. He was friendly, patient, and professional throughout the day. We always felt safe and comfortable as he drove us between sites, and his courteous manner added to the overall positive experience. The lunch was also very enjoyable and complemented a fantastic day of sightseeing. We highly recommend this tour and would like to thank both Ibrahim and Ismail for making our visit to Ephesus so memorable. Five stars!

Great tour guide and tour

Tamer was phenomenal as a tour guide. English was great and his knowledge was superb! We were so tired from the past few days excursions so we were worried about a long day and super long lines.

Perfect Day in Ephesus with Emre

Emre was a very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. He shared tons of history about Ephesus, archeological finds and Christian ties to the area. Our small group turned out to be just my spouse and me. Emre let us choose to opt in or out of any extra stops. We chose to visit a family pottery shop which is an UNESCO heritage site and a wholesale leather shop. Both had very short demos with zero sales pressure. Our lunch was at a small restaurant and was wonderful. This excursion exceeded our expectations in every way.

Turkish Bath Service - Hamam Experience in Kusadasi

matthew_L, Jun 2026

Great relaxing place to go off a cruise ship

Travelling on our 1st cruise we decided to have something abit more relaxing in Kusadasi as previous days had been full on. We found this experience and loved the idea of a spa. With some trepidation booking outside the cruise line. We took a punt that this trip would be close to the port and would go well. We couldn't have been happier :-) Great communication by email and WhatsApp keeping us fully connected. Advised they would collect us by the port entrance. Which they did and were actually waiting for us!! We were taken to the experience which is literally only 10 mins away so no fear of not getting back to the ship. Once we arrived we were very well looked after, They explained what our experience would be and under no pressure offered us a few upgrades which we actually booked. Full massage at the end of the Hammam experience. The masseuse were lovely people who did an awesome job of revitalising us all including our 11 year old daughter who they took great care of making sure she stayed with her Mum throughout. She really did not want to leave at the end!! Then when all complete we were dropped back at the port entrance. Overall great experience and trip. Would recommend :-)

Educational and Engaging Private Ephasus Tour

This was a private tour, making it more engaging and personal. We had our own guide for my husband and I, along with a dedicated driver, making it easier and quicker to navigate the stops at all of the different sites. Olgu was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the area and especially the history of Mary, John and Paul’s travels through the Ephasus region and about the Ephasus Ruins. Olgu spoke very good English so was easy to understand and ask questions. I highly recommend this tour!

Myron_O, May 2026

Wonderful day in Ephesus.

Cem was outstanding in telling stories and explaining the many wonderful sites of Ephesus. The program was long and intense but not at all too much. Also, the private tour through Viator was less expensive than the group tours from the ship that covered many less items. The terrace houses are great and are not to be missed.

Full-day Pamukkale and Hierapolis Tour from Selcuk or Kusadasi

Sarah_M, Apr 2026

Great day out

A really good day out. A bit of a journey to get there, but went surprisingly quick and well worth it. The guide (Mert, I think, sorry if spelt wrong) was friendly and informative., but also allowed us the time to go where we pleased so that we could choose how we divided our time between Hierapolis and Pammukale springs. We were lucky with the weather which always helps and it wasn't too crowded also. Although we booked the tour for Pammukale, the guide recommended we did The Grand theatre first and that was good advise - great views and v impressive sat at the top. V much worth the walk up the short hill and doing before wet feet of the springs. We recommend this trip and company.

Great day, perfect pace

We did our tour with Melis, and had an amazing day. She was kind and thoughtful and really helped my dad who had some mobility and medical challenges. It was perfect for us to move at his pace. Meeting and chatting with her was like speaking with a friend. I learned so much about the people and country that I wouldn't otherwise had learned. The meal was amazing, and included a bunch of items I might not have tried without the choices being made for us. Thank you Melis!!!!
