The tour guide (Batu) was very knowledgeable, kind and patience. The tour is well paced and you have free time to explore both sights. The buffet lunch was very tasty and varied. You can also add paragliding to your tour at an additional price.

Pamukkale

Katarzyna_G, Jul 2022

This great for getting it checked off your Bucket list, and better than Cappadocia in my opinion. Loved the experience, cleopatras pool and seeing the ruins.

Excellent tour to Pamukkale with a fantastic tour guide Batu ( tour guide)

Poor guided tour

Suresh_S, May 2022

Tour Guide was not at all good. She did not convey anything properly. So We missed visiting the antique Cleopatra pool. Time given was not sufficient to visit the places. They will misguide the tourists by taking them to Onyx stone factory which is waste of time.

The place was amazing when we...

Susan R, Aug 2017

The place was amazing when we finally got there due to 2 shopping trip stops no one was interested and some were even unaware that these shopping stops were included in the day therefore we only had 10mins stop at the thermal pools very disappointing as the pools were the reason we booked the trip in the first place. Our rep did an amazing job it was tough on her because an Asian family who live in the U.K. We're obviously more special than everyone else holding our trip up by 30 mins in total due to being late back on two occasions whilst everyone else sitting on the bus before departure times. If you have children you may want to sit near back on the bus as even though we have lots of stops too many really the driver likes to smoke while driving therefore not making it pleasant for no smokers or children who're traveling on this trip. Even though food was included drinks weren't when questioned why it was due to people ordering alcoholic drinks...? Surely you could state drinks included except alcoholic drinks, very poor for the price you pay.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed Pamukkale and that our representative did her best under challenging circumstances. We sincerely apologize for the short time at the thermal pools and the inconvenience caused by the shopping stops, as well as any discomfort due to smoking on the bus. We appreciate your suggestions regarding seating and drinks clarification and will work on improving these aspects for future guests to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Kind Regards, Tourmania Team

Awaes_H, Jul 2016

Nice tour. A lot of traveling and pammukale itself can be very tricky and slippy to walk on so beware. But overall a nice trip.

Fantastic day trip! We loved every...

Lynette_R, Jul 2016

Fantastic day trip! We loved every minute of this tour. Our local guide, Olga, was a mine of information and we also learnt lots about the history of Turkey. You really need to understand the history to appreciate all of the things that you see on this tour. It's a long day but worth every minute. If you're doing the tour I would recommend taking both swim options as they are both completely different experiences but, if you feel you can only do one, then do Cleopatra's pool. You don't get to Pamukkale until the afternoon the main reason being that you really don't want to be there at the hottest time in the day. Wonderful,

Pamukkale is an incredible place and...

Sarah C, May 2016

Pamukkale is an incredible place and I highly recommend going there however with this tour leaving so early in the morning I was disappointed to discover our schedule to visit the site was still in the afternoon when it is busiest. We arrived in the area by 10:30am and should've gone straight to avoid the crowds. Aside from this our guide was kind and I still enjoyed the trip. Take drinks with you, they are over priced in the included meals.

Me quedo con el anfiteatro de Hierapolis

Manuel_R, Aug 2024

Aunque está indicado en el tour , hay que pagar 30 euros por visitar Pamukkale e Hierapolis y otros 10 euros por darte un baño en la piscina de Cleopatra .Me esperaba más de Pamukkale, las fotografías son más espectaculares que la realidad , el anfiteatro de Hierapolis imprescindible . La guía y el conductor sin pena ni gloria ,
