Excursion to Pamukkale - We spent a beautiful day in Pamukkale thanks to our guide Melis, a funny and attentive young woman who shared with us her love of her country. We also had a top driver! The site is very beautiful. The only downside is the length of the journey…

Great small group tour - Melis is super knowledgeable and friendly. Her enthusiasm and pointers make the long journey more enjoyable. Despite some misinformation provided by organiser, Melis managed the situation and the tour overall well. Credit also to the driver who was very safe and careful in his driving.

Good Tour, Long Day - Hierapolis & Pamakkule are definitely worth the journey and our tour guide Melis was wonderful! She was engaging, quirky and very knowledgeable about the sites and Turkey. That being said, it is a very long day. It's 3 hours from Kusadasi and that doesn't take into account the hotel pick ups/drop offs. So be prepared for a lonnng day. Also, you won't be able to visit all of the sites in the time you have. So you'll have to prioritize what you want to do the most. I do wish we had more time at the actual site, but the distance away makes that hard. All in all. It was a nice tour! Pamakkule is breathtaking.

More than just the travertines - The views from Hierapolis are simply stunning. Yesra, our tour guide, led us to the summit of Hierapolis, providing fascinating insights as we descended to the travertines. Lunch was great too!

Good tour - Yeshra gave a very nice tour. It was informative and at a good pace The included lunch was nice and it was mentioned that drinks were not provided, but what wasn't made clear was that also included water. It was 40 degrees and the only places the bus stopped had hyper inflated prices. It couldn't hurt to have a few bottles of water around for a tour this long
