Lovely day out! - Our trip was organised by Eric and our guide was Kaan.
We were picked up super early from right outside our hotel in Alanya which made everything really easy for us and meant we got to Pamukkale with plenty of time.
Our trip went as follows:
- We were picked up from our hotel and got some sleep 😌 as we drove round picking up everyone else
- We were then transferred into a bigger coach at a meeting point where we met Kaan and he ran us through the plans for the day
- We stopped for a quick breakfast (not included in price)
- We stopped for a spontaneous wine tasting where we got to try locally made wines and Turkish delight!
- We then had a couple more quick breaks to use facilities on the way to Pamukkale (unfortunately we didn’t get to go to Lake Salda as it was closed for the season)
- When we got to Pamukkale, Kaan gave us some information and history lessons before advising us of the best way to divide our time between the springs, ruins and Roman bath.
- We all met back at the coach and began our journey home which was pretty much as the same as the journey there. We stopped for a late lunch which was included in our package and then were brought home safely ☺️
Overall, we had a lovely (if slightly exhausting 😂) day, we were made to feel very safe and looked after throughout and would definitely recommend! Just bear in mind that some of the info on what the price covers isn’t 100% accurate, but if your main goal is getting out and about and experiencing a bit of history then you’ll love it anyway.

Tagesausflug Pamukkale - Everything was fine. The bus stopps often so u can buy food, water, etc. The Tourguide Apo was very friendly and always looked after us so no one got lost. Pamukkale was very beautiful but there were a lot of other Tourists and the Water was warm, wich is nice when it would be cold but not in the summer. But all in all it was a very good Tour. 5 Stars.

Unique Beauty - Unreal natural beauty. Great organisation both in booking with Melike and with our tour guide, who organised it fantastically. Long trip but definitely worth it.

Scam/Very inaccurate description - The description literally says "entrance fee to Pamukkale and insurance, included within the tour price." But that is not correct we had to pay 1100 liras each (33 usd). Additionally there was no visit to Salda Lake.
There were others in our group who were also complaining that it wasn't just us that were given incorrect information

Pamukkale trip - The pick-up took place on time (actually 10 minutes early, I recommend being found outside the hotel at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time because in all the trips we have done they always arrived 10 minutes early), everything went as described, except the dinner we didn't have, and the bus seats that were broken, you could only lie down, both mine and the one in front of me... if you think that it's many hours on the bus...
The driver (yes, you understood correctly) of the minibus that took us back to the hotel from Antalya set the route record! The red lights were a non-existent option... absurd speed, I was really scared.
The place is really beautiful, it deserves to be visited, the attractions are all three close together so don't worry about the time in 3 hours you can see a bit of everything, if you have more time it's better.
PS: duration 3:30-23:30

Worst experience ever - First of all we had already paid for the trip in full, in the description for the trip it said the entry into Pamukkale was included, on the coach there we were told that we had to pay a further fee of 30 euros each for entry as this is the fee the government ask for. Also the breakfast and lunch that was offered was absolutely ridiculous, the breakfast wasn’t as bad as lunch, the place we was taken to lunch was also a buffet place but all the food was open and had flies buzzing around the food, bread was stale as it wasn’t covered. When we asked about the trip to salda lake the guide told us we weren’t going as the lake was closed because the government was fixing it, instead we was taken to a winery where they tried to sell a bottle of wine for €20, and other really expensive items. When I contacted viator for a refund on the trip I was told they couldn’t refund. But the description of the trip and what we actually got is definitely wrongful advertising. I will never be booking a trip on viator again and I would definitely recommend not taking this excursion.
