We took the Pamukkale afternoon tour and really recommend it. The bus ride was 3 hours with a short stop, We had 2.5 hours in Pamukkale. not enough to see everything, but standard for all tours. Entry cost 700 TRY, and Cleopatra Pool was 200 TRY extra. The company was reliable, affordable, and helpful via WhatsApp. Our guide Emre was kind and informative, with good English.

We joined the Pamukkale afternoon tour. The journey was comfortable, and both Pamukkale and Cleopatra’s Pool were beautiful highlights. The guide shared helpful historical insights along the way.It would have been better if the cash only entry fees were clearly mentioned in advance. More time at the travertines would’ve been ideal, as the visit felt a bit short. The buffet dinner was average, and the site was still fairly busy, but the cooler weather and sunset made up for it. Overall, a memorable experience.

I arranged my Pamukkale trip through this agency by chatting and the process was very smooth. Payment wasn’t required upfront. I paid on the day of the tour. The journey was comfortable on a luxury bus, and our guide Bessie was great and shared lots of useful information. We took many photos, and the kids had a great time. It was a fantastic experience. Thanks again
