Pamukkale day trip from Bodrum - Well organised, punctual. Efficient english and Russian speaking guides. Appropriate number of stops.
It would have been better if the guide stayed with us inside Pamukkale too.
We went in July and it was too hot to enjoy, so bear in mind what time of the year you choose to go!

Natural wonder Pamukkale - The limestone terraces, thermal springs and Hierapolis remain unforgettable. Although the journey from Bodrum by bus was quite long, it was worth it. Thank you all involved for the perfect organization and great trip.

Great Pamukkale Trip - This was a great trip. Really enjoyed the sites and our tour guide Sli was very knowledgeable and helpful. It’s a long day, but we knew that and were prepared.

Great Pamukkale Trip - This was a great trip. It was a long day, but we knew it would be, so we were prepared. GB Travel were great hosts. Everything went just as they said it would. Pamukkale itself was spectacular. We had plenty of time to explore the old city heirepolis, the pamukkale travertines, and cleopatra’s pool. Our guide Ali was amazing, his knowledge was superb and he was very helpful with everything.

Enjoyable day trip from Bodrum - We really enjoyed this trip!
We were picked up outside our hotel (however, this wasn’t smooth riding! There was bad communication between us and the driver and at one point we were unsure if they’d arrive) and then taken to the bus we were using for our journey. The journey to Pamukkale was enjoyable and we stopped for breakfast too. The Guide we had was really nice and well-informed. Whatever we didn’t know history-wise he told us in an enjoyable way. When we got to Pamukkale, we were told he history and then given a couple of hours to explore by ourselves- we had enough time to enjoy Cleopatra’s pool (water was warm and very enjoyable, the pool wasn’t too deep either- it’s definitely not something to skip) and to walk around exploring it all. Lunch was provided- it was a buffet with a vast range of foods. It was delicious. We had various stops to learn more about the culture, both on our way there and back. Overall a lovely day trip and something I would definitely recommend!

It was a nice trip but we... - It was a nice trip but we spent more time on the road and other activities like a marble and leather store then Pamukale itself. We were only given two hours at the actual place where we thought we will be spending most of the time. Lunch provided was disgusting and bad. Fruits were rotten.

Don’t do it ! It’s not worth it - The only good thing about this trip was the warm Cleopatra pool, which you have to pay extra for anyway! Save yourself £200 and don’t go !
Awful driving, I thought we were gonna go over the cliff every single bend and going up and down the mountains it felt like a final destination scene !!
Got ripped off at every stop with pushes to buy more and more as well as the so called free lunch buffet being very tasteless and full of flies !
In a nutshell , don’t book it as you will regret it !

Scam fest - The scenery and pool was nice but that’s it. And looks nothing like it does I the photos of the lush blues and greens. Complete scam fest all the way. Driver was a complete maniac and think the axel of the wheel was about to come off. It Said 130 on the booking for the pool but the reps charged us 250 on the coach. One of the reps tried to take double that off one of the tourists until we stepped in and told her the correct price. Everything so expensive, the lunch was dreadful and not fit to serve a dog. Every stop we had was a scam fest and just trying to get your money. The wine tasting started out good but was just 4 half shot glasses of fruit wine which was very good but the whole thing was just a massive sales pitch to go next door and get robbed! As we walked next door was literally jumped on by every worker in every department very aggressively shouting to buy stuff and then kept loading more on top of you. I found that really aggressive and got so annoyed we left without buying anything. The pools are beautiful and well worth seeing but the money we spent and the awful journey was not worth the money we will never be doing that again. Turkey is just ripping everyone off now. It’s a shame as I love turkey but don’t think we will be coming back again.

Pamukkale Tour - This tour is not worth the money at all. We were picked up directly via a taxi from our hotel which was great however the taxi driver had not been briefed where the taxi pick up point was for the coach for the day. It took over 3 hours to arrive at Pamukkale and whilst the views and scenery are beatitudes, you spend more time on the coach than you do at the location - you are only given 2.5 hours to explore, plus there is not real tour information provided, on the history of relevance of the location. The buffet was awful, full of flies, undercooked chicken and you have to pay for all drinks including soft drinks. The worst part of the whole experience is the journey home, we left at 16.00 and did not return to our hotel until 22:00. Once we were dropped back off in Bodrum there was a mini bus to take you to your hotel and the driver risked everyone’s safety, beyond dangerous driving with over 10 passengers in the vehicle, we nearly fell off the side of the cliff, he was speeding way over the limit and risking all of our lives. For just a couple of hours in Pamaukkale, this is just not worth the money, effort or most importantly your safety.
