Lovely experience

Yakub_M, Aug 2022
I very much enjoyed pamukkale experience and I recommend for everyone to visit. The place was overcrowded with tourists so the cleopatra pool was tight and the water from the shower was freezing cold but I very much enjoyed it.

The most memorable parts " Pamukkale", Hierapolis, museum, Cleopatra pool. We wanted to travel to Pamukkale nôt to the shops, the guide Jana took us . Then we had not múch time to be on the excursion we paid for. Avoid to this guide.

Definitely worth the trip, maybe sort the transfers

Pamukkale namely Hierapolis is a wonderful place, definitely a must do for anyone in the area. Cleopatras pool is definitely worth the entry fee. You could spend easily 2 days on this site exploring all it has to offer. Our guide was lovely, I did feel for her though, as we had a number of inconsiderate tour members that would be late for meeting up, for instance she would say we can stay here for half an hour, and some people would take 45 minutes + to get back on the coach! We probably wasted an hour and a half waiting for these inconsiderate people! Not the guides fault at all, she told them time and again. So if you’re reading this considering this or any tour, please don’t be that person! One piece of advice to the company would be if you’re picking up/ dropping off people from Side maybe have them in a separate coach, we were out for over 18 hours from 5am that morning, so it was a little too much, we spent an hour in Antalya dropping people off there, there were two coaches available!

Gute Organisation. Pünktlich. Freundliche Mitarbeiter. Das Wetter hat leider nur bedingt mitgespielt.
