The day trip to Pamukkale was thoroughly enjoyable! We were picked up promptly from our hotel, and our guide, Nur, was friendly and well-informed, making the experience even better. Pamukkale is absolutely worth the visit, even though it’s a long day. The only downside was the lunch stop—it was average, and drinks were charged extra at a higher price. It would have been nicer to have free time in town to choose our own meal. Despite this, the tour was well-organized, and we’d recommend it to anyone looking to explore Pamukkale’s stunning landscapes.

The trip to Pamukkale had potential, but the extra entrance fees were disappointing. We booked this tour as a group of friends, expecting everything to be included, but we were surprised to find that entrance fees to some sites were not covered. It added a significant cost to the trip, which wasn’t clearly communicated beforehand. The stops felt rushed, leaving us with limited time to enjoy the natural beauty of Pamukkale. While the guide was friendly and informative, the overall organization of the tour could have been better. For the price paid, we expected more transparency and a more relaxed schedule. It’s a beautiful destination, but this tour left us feeling frustrated with the additional expenses and lack of time.
