I loved that this tour showed places beyond the usual Pamukkale spots. Laodicea was beautiful and so full of stories from the past, and our guide really brought it to life. The cave was stunning with all the natural mineral formations, and the waterfalls were such a relaxing way to end the day. It felt like a mini adventure and I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

If you’ve already seen Pamukkale, this tour is the perfect next step. I was blown away by how big and impressive Laodicea was—it’s like walking through a forgotten city. The cave was surreal and the waterfalls were so peaceful. The guide was friendly, funny, and really knew his stuff. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip.

I’m from Turkey and still hadn’t seen these places until this trip. Laodicea was absolutely worth visiting—so much history and space to explore. Kaklik Cave was smaller but so beautiful inside, and Honaz Waterfalls were just a perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy nature. The group size was comfortable, and the guide was very informative. A lovely day overall.

What I liked most about this tour was the variety. Laodicea gave us history and ruins, the cave gave us geology and thermal waters, and Honaz gave us calm nature and waterfalls. I never felt rushed, and there was enough time to enjoy each place. The lunch was tasty and the transport was super comfortable. Definitely a five-star day.

After the busy scenes in Pamukkale, this tour felt like a breath of fresh air. Laodicea had so much space to walk around and explore freely. The guide explained things in a fun, simple way. I’d never heard of Kaklik Cave before, but it was so unique—like a secret underground version of Pamukkale. Honaz Waterfalls were calm and beautiful, the perfect way to finish.

I loved the combination of history and nature on this tour. Laodicea was surprisingly massive, and the waterfalls at Honaz were such a peaceful end to the day. The cave was smaller than I expected, but still quite beautiful. My only gripe is that the lunch was just average—nothing bad, just not memorable. Overall though, it was a really enjoyable day and worth doing.

This was a nice break from the busier Pamukkale sights. Laodicea is very impressive, and I appreciated the way our guide explained everything without overloading us. The Kaklik Cave was a pleasant surprise, even though the path inside was a bit slippery. The waterfalls at the end were refreshing and a great photo spot. Overall, a great tour with just a few minor things that could be improved.
