Antalya Pamukkale & Salda Tour: A Perfect Day in Nature

We had a good tour with a nice and professional guide, Kaan, who shared lots of information and historical facts about the places we visited. I would recommend this tour and guide to anyone planning to visit. Just a heads up the journey is quite long, with a lot of time spent on the bus. Also, the entrance fee to Pamukkale is €30.

Pamukkale was absolutely breathtaking like stepping into another world. The thermal pools and ancient ruins left an unforgettable impression. Huge thanks to our incredible tour guide Kaan, whose knowledge, kindness, and humor made the experience even more special.

The stunning white landscape of Pamukkale is truly a World Heritage wonder. However, the long distances in the country can make the journey quite tiring. I had a 2:30 am pickup from my hotel in Alanya, and the trip took over six hours. I recommend doing thorough research beforehand to find the easiest way to get there staying at a hotel closer to Pamukkale can make a big difference.

Such a peaceful and scenic day out. My partner and I were looking for something a bit more relaxed, and this excursion was perfect. Not crowded at all, which made the views even more magical. The shades of blue in the water were unrealphotos don’t do it justice. Big thank you for making everything feel smooth and special.

I really enjoyed this trip overall! The scenery was absolutely worth it the place is stunning, and the attractions are all within walking distance, which makes exploring pretty easy. I was surprised how much I could see in just three hours, though if you have more time, I’d definitely recommend staying longer to soak it all in. A quick tip: be ready outside your hotel at least 10 minutes before the pickup time they were actually early (which seems to be the norm with most tours here). Everything else went as described, except we didn’t get dinner, and the bus ride was a bit uncomfortable the seat was stuck in a reclined position, and so was the one in front of me, which isn’t ideal for long journeys. What did concern me was the minibus ride back the driver was flying through traffic, barely stopping at red lights. It felt rushed and honestly a bit unsafe. That said, it didn’t ruin the experience for me. The location itself is beautiful and worth visiting, just be prepared for a few quirks along the way.

Everything was just right. Easygoing vibe, amazing stops, and a small group which made it feel special. We all agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip. Helin really went above and beyond. Highly recommend it if you want beauty without the crowds.

The natural beauty on this trip is just unreal absolutely jaw dropping. Photos don’t come close to capturing it. It’s a long day, sure, but totally worth every minute. The organization was spot on from start to finish. Booking with she was smooth and easy, and our tour guide handled everything perfectly on the day. You could tell they had everything under control, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy. Highly recommend if you're up for an adventure with a big payoff in views.

Really impressed with the quality of this tour especially for the price. Everything ran smoothly, and the guides were lovely so friendly and always happy to help. Special thanks for the excellent customer service. He sent us reminders before the trip and even followed up afterward to check how everything went, which I really appreciated. You can tell they care about their guests. We’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future.

We had a really good experience on this tour. Our guide, Kaan, was great very professional and full of interesting facts and history about the places we visited. You could tell he knew his stuff, which made the whole day much more engaging. I’d definitely recommend this tour if you’re planning to visit the area. Just a heads up: it is a long day with quite a bit of time spent on the bus, so be prepared for that. Also, the entrance to Pamukkale isn’t included it’s 30€, so keep that in mind when budgeting. Other than that, everything was well organized and worth doing.

Pamukkale is absolutely stunning a surreal white landscape that feels like it belongs on another planet. It’s no surprise it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The only thing is, getting there can be pretty exhausting depending on where you’re coming from. I was picked up from my hotel in Alanya at 2:30am, and the drive took over six hours. My advice: do your research and try to stay as close as possible the night before. It'll make a big difference. That said, once you’re there, it’s more than worth it. Truly one of those rare places that lives up to the hype.

It was a very nice day overall. Salda Lake was absolutely beautiful, and both Pamukkale and Hierapolis were really impressive. Our guide did a great job friendly and knowledgeable throughout the trip. One small downside: we had two stops at local shops along the way. While I understand it's part of the tour, it did cut into our time at Pamukkale, which was a bit disappointing since we only had about two hours there. An extra hour would’ve really helped, especially because we weren’t able to enjoy the travertines fully too many people and not much time to swim. The buffet lunch was simple but tasty, and everything was well organized. Despite the timing issues, I would still recommend the tour it’s a great way to see some incredible places in one day.

Really enjoyed this tour! It’s a bit of a long day, but totally worth it for the amazing views. The bus and van were super comfortable, which made the journey easier. The food was delicious too, which was a nice bonus. If you’re up for a day trip with great scenery and good vibes, this is a solid choice.

Our day started pretty relaxed with hotel pick ups where we even managed to catch a bit of sleep on the way while they picked up the rest of the group. Then we switched to a bigger coach where we met Kaan, our guide, who gave us a clear plan for the day. We had a quick breakfast stop (not included) and an unexpected but really fun wine tasting with some local wines and Turkish delight definitely a highlight! We made a few stops for bathroom breaks on the way to Pamukkale, though sadly we missed Lake Salda since it was closed for the season. At Pamukkale,shared some interesting history and gave great tips on how to best explore the springs, ruins, and Roman bath in the limited time we had. Afterward, we all regrouped and headed back, stopping for a nice late lunch included in the package before being safely dropped off at our hotels. It was a long day but well organized and enjoyable. Would recommend it for anyone wanting to see the highlights without the stress of planning.
