We saw photos of the white mountain in social media, and we realised we must book this tour!! Online reservation was very simple. In general, the tour’s organization was excellent, and the guide paid attention to details, he was so nice!!! In Pamukkale of course we took many photos to post on social media. The cotton castle took our breath away, it’s stunning and I can’t even find the right words to describe it. Don’t miss Pamukkale, it’s a must!!!
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 Pamukkale. I would definitely recommend this tour to everybody.
We had few more days in Belek and wanted to explore something different. Pamukkale is an incredible place. It was a good decision to go there. Our guide was extremely helpful and explained many things to us. The ancient city was interesting. I got impressed by the theatre. We visited also an antique thermal pool and swam. The temperature of the water was really nice. I paid extra for this but it’s so good I didn’t want to miss it. I recommend this tour. It’s relaxing and very interesting. If you have time try it.
