Had a wonderful day. Our driver Gurkan was an excellent driver. Very friendly and I felt very safe. I highly recommend this tour.
Be prepared as they will take you to places where they sell jewelry, precious stones etc which for me a lost of time.
Great trip to Pamukkale visiting the ancient city of Hieropolis. Our tour guide Dilek was fun and knowledgeable. We had a great day!
The tour was nice, but i'm wondering why they would partner up with a shop that sells counterfeit for real?? There's a gyide stop we make we they claim to sell rare and precious stone jewellery only found in Turkey but it seems to be scam. Scamming tourists who help build your nation is another kind of low!
Very nice place absolutely stunning and different highly recommended different experiences and tour guide very knowledgeable and detailed
Pamukalle is great! Great tour!
We went on this tour with a guide named Dilek. She was amasing, told us a lot of interesting facts about history of Antalya and Pamukalle. Always smiled and made our experience even more delightful.
It is a very long day but definitely worth the journey. Our guide was very good and informative on Antayla, Turkey, and the springs area. I would advise tourists to bring their own towel and change into your bathing suit at the lunch stop area. The changing rooms at Cleopatra pools are very crowded and do not have towels for hire. Be sure to do the short hike to the Roman theatre it is quite a spectacular site. Be sure to not just go inside to the archaeology museum but also walk around the outside as it used to be a Roman bath so had interesting architecture.
This is an excellent tour. It is well worth the
long drive to get there as it such a unique place. Our guide Dilek was very good. She provided interesting information was professional and helpful throughout the day. Make sure you save time to visit the Roman theatre as it is spectacular
Good tour. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was organized well. Lunch was good. Would recommend.
Spectacular day and worth the long trip from Antalya. Very Good lunch provided but would avoid eating at first stop if lunch stop is at 111:30am. Overall it was a super day and would recommend the day.
Guide got good English and tour was organised well . Lunch is given in a best hotel in that area. only drawback is we were taken to a shop and spent 45 min which is not in the itinerary. It is mainly for local business .
This tour, tour guide and the driver all were well planed and organized. Dilek is a very energetic, active, enthusiastic, flexible and much more tour guide. During the trip to Pamukkale, she provided interesting facts about Türkiye. She also worked very hard to make this trip very fun, educational, informative for us. I appreciate all of her dedication to this trip. I highly recommend this tour.
I rarely do tours, it's very to do things on your own these days. But because of the hot weather in August, I didn't want to risk hiring a car on my own. This tour exceeded my expectations! I messaged them on Whatsapp the day before for an accurate pick up time, and they weren't late! It's a long day, but worth it. We stopped off for breakfast and a break along the way (not included). Lunch was a buffet and good, plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. There was plenty of time to sightsee with free time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, also teaching us about Turkish culture. The only thing I would criticise, is that we could have skipped the onyx factory. Definitely a tourist trap. Optional paragliding, and if you decide not to do it, we were taken to a beautiful view from the bottom of Pamukkale. After a long hot day, we were given cold bottles of water for free. It was so thoughtful! A bit more expensive but worth it.
Well organised trip. Bilek ourTour guide was lovely very knowledgeable. Unique experience with ancient ruins and an ancient hot thermal bath. White travertine pools which were very scenic.
It was a long ride there and back, but pretty comfortable. It was not included in the tour, but we paid extra for paragliding - and I really recommend that! It was 60 EUR per person without photos/videos, but we were able to see the mountains, forests, ruins and the whole Pamukkale from the bird's height and it was great. Paragliding took place before the lunch (which was an average buffet) and before the primary time (3 hours) at the main place, so we did not loose any time because of that (the guide suggested to book paragliding on the road to there). I didn't enjoy the Cleopatra pool in the hot weather, but at least we took some photos and had a cold shower after the hot day, so I recommend to go there after visiting the waterfall and the amphitheater. What I also recommend to do is to go to a green garden just next to the waterfall (I don't remember the official salt waterfall name, sorry) - they have a bunch of water sprinkles in the garden for grass, so it's just free cold shower that saved me from the heat :D It was fun to see the place again after 20 years. It also saves us from being bored at the all-inclusive resort, so it's a good opportunity to add variety to vacation
They were good in every aspect

The guide Ditek was very friendly and nice to us and trip was also amazing!!!!
I think everyone should use this guide!
The tour was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organised, and the itinerary offered a great balance of adventure and relaxation. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to answer questions, which made the journey both fun and informative. Each stop was well chosen, giving us a real sense of the local culture and history. The scenery was breathtaking and the pace made it easy to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable, and enriching tour.
We enjoyed the journey very much. We brought the water socks which help us to walk to the end of the Pamukkale.
The experience would have been nicer had not been rushed. The journey went ok but did keep stopping off and doing things other people wanted to do at an extra cost while we had to sit around and wait doing nothing. Ie balloon ride. Also we were dropped in the middle of nowhere at a shopping outlet because others wabted to do something else and it was super expensive designer stuff. We sat an hour and waited to be collected. Lots of doing things in between the journey that didnt need to be done. Would have resulted in us having more unrushed time in pammukele.
Great day with Dirlek to Pamukkale. It was an amazing experience. I enjoyed the stops before arrival to Pamukkale. It did not feel like a 3 hour drive from Antalya. It was a cold day and Dirlek was very accommodating even willing to allow us to return and sit in the van to stay warm after enjoying Pamukkale.
It was cold on the day I attended the event. I look forward to experiencing it in the summer
I recommend nonslip socks, change of clothes and towel. A few people feel because certain areas are slippery.
Cleopatra pool is closed for renovations. Hierapolis was a nice as well.
We enjoyed the hot springs although it was not as dramatic as we were expecting and walking into the area was quite painful on the feet with very sharp limestone. The ruins were very interesting. The buffet lunch delicious. The three hour drive to and from the area went surprisingly fast as our tour director gave us interesting facts on turkey. What we did not enjoy was the stop at the onyx factory as my husband and I always avoid these hard sell stops. It's important to inform travelers on these tours on how to dress as we were told to bring bathing suits and towels, however, there was no opportunity to swim and it was quite chilly. Overall we enjoyed this tour.
It was fantastic to be in Pamukkale. The transportación was good and comfortable. The guide explained everything to us. The lunch was plenty and good.
Early start was lost to wasted time for breakfast break and shopping stops. Would prefer more time at Pamukkale and not an onxy factory ... But actually a shop.
Well.organised trip completely as advertised . On time pick up , comfortable vehicle fir a long long trip . Hierapolis is an ancient city and the theatre and various artefacts and locations are quite amazing . Pamukklae is an experience . Some tips
The theatre is quite a walk from the entry point with some uphill parts .i. Summer months I would recommend taking an e cart available for booking by your guide . 1950 lira for 6 .
Check in advance to know if the Cleopatra pool is open to visit in case it proves to be a huge disappointment as this visit and experience of bathing in the pool is worth looking forward to!
Transportation was excellent. Place was beautiful. Guide was nice and spoke english very well. It was just really hot that day. Overall 9/10
Great experience. Thumbs up. Our guide Dilek is nice and funny. She said many interesting things and very informative. The lunch is also delicious.
Had a nice time, knowlageble guid did not let us to fall asleep for 1 seconds, safe driving with professional driver, BUT
WE happened to overcharge with Viator for kids
When we ordered a trip, we paid for 2 adults and 2 kids 10 and 11 years old, but when we got to Pamukkale we HAD OVERCHARGED again 30 dollars per kid, Wich was unexpected and came out as 101 dollars , more then per adult
Explanation was that , kids after 8 years old not a kids anymore, but application in Viator did not ask any options about kids age . It was very upsetting
Other then that, the tour itself was above an expectation, very nice
Thank you guid Delir and driver
