Family of 5, our rating is 10/10!! We had our 3 children with us on this trip, and I was worried that an excursion can be difficult, but no! This company made everything easy for us, and that’s why I want to say a big thank you! Transfers were comfortable and on time, meals were delicious, and the schedule was very interesting. Salda is a magical place. It looks like you are in an exotic paradise. My camera roll is full of pictures! Pamukkale was also great. We were very lucky to share these moments as a family, and create memories all together. Definitely recommended.
Best tour we had! The guide Mehmet was amazing. Told us so much about Turkiye and the history of this beautiful country and of course about Ephesus. I would definitely recommend this tour to everybody.
At first I thought the road trip is gonna be long but then I just realized that it was totally worthy. No doubt as to why Pamukkale attracts so many people. The sites are just impressive and we even get to swim into the thermal pool. The water was really warm and perfect if you have some back pains like me! The nearby museum has some interesting things, we enjoyed our time there. Salda Lake is such a stunner! It really looks like you are not in Turkey, such an exotic and spectacular place. The service and the whole organization was just perfect, my review comes with 5 starts!
