Firstly it was 40 degrees...

Dorothy_K, Jul 2023

Firstly it was 40 degrees celcius so too hot to enjoy anything. The guide was great and he offerred to take us around the historical sites with a buggy otherwise we would not have survived the heat. But he told us this was extra to pay...this should have been a must because of the weather

Amazing beauties of Pamukkale

Taewon_J, Jun 2023

Our family of six had a private tour from Kusadasi to Pamukkale which was 3 hours away from our resort. The tour guide Fati was wonderful in explaining the history of Turkey and the archeological sites and places that we visited in a 12 hour tour. We had a wonderful time paragliding and walking in the waters of the Travertine at Pamukkale.

Not bad, but wish more springs!

Jordan_L, May 2023

While our guide and the planned outing was wonderful, I think it would be helpful (especially for us American tourists) to provide a full timeline of the day at pick up. You know — it’s going to be 1.5 hours to our coffee break and then another 1.5 hours in the car. We will arrive at pammukale around noon and I will give you a quick overview of the site. you will then have 2.5 hours of free time, before we drive to lunch. Meaning we will eat lunch around 2:30-3 pm. If you need a snack, make sure you grab something at at coffee break. We will eat and then return back to kusadasi around 6:30 pm. Something like that. 😀 I think it would make more sense to move pick ups to 7 am. We waited 20 mins for a family of 4 at their pick up which just delays the whole day. Also not sure Pammukale is worth 400 lira entrance fee given that the pools are quite low. That’s not the tour guides fault, just something to consider before you book a 6 hour car ride. Again, the guide was absolutely wonderful and I appreciated the time we were given at the site and for skipping the “shopping” experience at the end. THANK YOU!

Amazing day trip

Iain_M, Dec 2022

The trip was amazing, we had a great representative in Mediha, she was brilliant in looking after us all and very helpful and knowledgeable, the group were all friends except me and they made me feel very welcome on the tour, we visited a jade factory before the trip to Hieropolis, and then to Pamukkale, which was amazing, had a great Turkish lunch on route, and went to a tea specialist after, some took rides on the helicopter and hand gliding, they said it was amazing, the whole day was not tiring but very fulfilling, very good tour highly recommend

Excellent Trip to Pamukkale Traverntines

Sandip_G, Nov 2022

It was an amazing experience to finally see the cotton castle of Pamukkale Traverntines, tourist rush was too much, wish the timing could be more and a bit delayed tomwards afternoon upto 5 pm,,as the place is 3 hr far from kusadasi so a lot of travelling for sure.. lunch was good with many options in dessert too.. guide explained everything very well... overall great experience...

Beautiful day!

Rhonda_M, Sep 2022

From start to finish, it was a wonderful day. Our tour guide, Gorkem, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the natural beauty of the travertine pools and Cleopatra's pool was awesome. Time well spent!

Great Experience

Maha_J, Sep 2022

A great tour that was well organized. Ali Reza was a great tour guide who balanced giving enough information and also providing ample free time throughout the trip. The only thing that we would suggest changing is the start and end time. It gets really hot in the middle of the afternoon at the location in the summer with not a lot of shade/relief.

Ok

sanindlbs, Oct 2019

It’s really not the tour company’s fault but it’s 3hrs each way, so really you are spending 6hrs inside the van with about 2.5hrs of visiting time. Tour guide was great, very friendly, keeping up with timing, and informative.

. Magical Pamukale

Jimmy_G, Oct 2019

The only downside to this trip was the bus We were last pickup and seats left had no leg room. Other than this this was an excellent trip. Good guide and driver. The site itself is truly stunning, a must visit place Long day but worth it. Great lunch too.

Pumukhale excursion

Seaside18228651526, Jun 2019

This was a brilliant excursion and was extremely well run. The guide had an excellent knowledge and a good fun way of imparting it. Despite having an extremely troublesome woman on the tour the guide was extremely professional at all times and made the day a brilliant experience.

Parmukkale

CARLOSMIGUEL_G, Jun 2023

Atração natural fantástica apesar de muito degradada. O guia era extremamente inconveniente nos seus comentários, chamado os passageiros pela nacionalidade e fazendo demonstrações de flora natural as senhoras. Não gostei mesmo do guia. A experiência no entanto é válida.

Die Reiseleiterin ist...

Donaldo_P, Apr 2023

Die Reiseleiterin ist sehr freundlich und lustig. sie sind sehr pünktlich. Die Art und Weise, die Tour sehr gut zu erklären, war nicht langweilig.

Pamukkale war...

Tanja_M, Oct 2022

Pamukkale war intresssant, jedoch die Zeit war nicht genug um alles zu sehn. Mann musste sich für ein paar Saxgen entscheiden.

Lohnt sich!

DanielaSara_K, Jun 2022

Der Ausflug lohnt sich definitiv und die lange An-und Abreise hab ich als relativ unproblematisch empfunden, es gab jeweils eine Toilettenpause. Der Guide war witzig und informativ. Was mich eher gestört hat ist, dass wir verhältnismäßig wenig Zeit vor Ort hatten (2h zur freien Verfügung) und auf der Rückfahrt noch in einer Textilfabrik und einer Stein-bzw Schmuckwerkstatt gehalten haben. Das hätte ich mir lieber erspart und die Zeit vor Ort noch genutzt.
