We decided not to attend because the start time was originally 05:30, but it was changed very late the day before to 03:50. After the cancellation deadline. Unfortunately, this meant we couldn’t go. It felt like a waste of both time and money. Quite disappointing.

We really enjoyed our day exploring Pamukkale and Hierapolis. Everything ran smoothly, from the pick-up right through to the end of the tour. Our guide, Apo, was friendly, helpful, and well-organized. We highly suggest taking a trip with him. Overall, a great experience, thanks for everything!

The trip was pretty good. At the stops, you could eat as much as you wanted, plus we got an extra breakfast and an additional stop at Salda Lake. The bus had air conditioning and comfy seats, so it was easy to get some rest. Pamukkale offers incredible views and loads of ancient ruins. The area is so large that you can’t see everything in just one day. There’s also the Cleopatra Pool where you can swim, but the entrance fee is around 10 dollars/pounds/euros. If you plan to buy food or drinks inside Pamukkale, be prepared to spend quite a bit.
