We had the best day out thanks to our tour guide Yalcin Ergun he made our trip - Picked up from our Hotel in Olu Deniz 6 am.. we were so lucky to have booked with Seaside tourism, we had our guide for the day Yalcin Ergun (curly) He was so funny and such a great guy, so full of Knowledge with a sense of humor what a pleasant guy. me and my husband loved him. He made it memorable, our long trip. Breakfast stop, hour half into the journey and it was very good food, our guide made the journey go quickly with all his information and knowledge very interesting. Then another hour and half we arrived to Pamuk kale and we paid extra to do the pools, which was worth doing, you have a locker included with the price. we stayed there 40 min, which was plenty of time for us, it was very busy and then we went on calcium pools, under feet it is quite slippery, no body is allowed to wear any kind of footwear barefoot, once you passed the one pool it got easier and plenty of opportunity, for photos and to smear some mud on your skin. we stayed a while and then we went around the ruins and various museum with our tour guide, we had the option to go our own way, or meet back up with him, which mostly all of our tour did. He had so much information on the history of the ruins and very knowledgeable. Credit to the company. We had around 4 hours there altogether and then we back on the bus and then we stopped at the opal factory which was very interesting with many beautiful crafts and gifts from the calcium pools. we purchased to goblets about £20 euros each great souvenir well worth it. then we stopped for our late lunch and this was very good too the food buffet style which was included in the price of the trip. Then on to our journey back to our hotel, yalcin did a raffle for the tour with 3 prizes and made it fun, we didn't win, there was some lovely gifts from the opal factory. got back at 8pm well worth the journey and day trip many thanks to sea side tourism oludeniz Highly recommend fab day out.

Marvelous Pamukkale Tour - We had an amazing day, Yalcin was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We made excellent time in the morning and we were able to spend 4 hours at Pamukkale & Hierapolis. Despite the intense heat, our spirits remained high, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We visited a charming Onyx factory on the way and were able to buy some great keepsakes. As for Pamukkale, Hierapolis & Cleopatra's pool it was really excellent. I would highly recommend not venturing too far down the Cotton Castle hills too far as the best views are from the top. Moreover, allocate at least 90 to 120 minutes to fully appreciate Hierapolis and its ancient amphitheater. This experience is truly a must-see!

Amazing - The trip was amazing it was one of the best trip I have been before It is definitely worth going to see The bus tour was a bit long and would have liked a bit longer at pamukkah instead of visiting the onyx factory but I would definitely go again.

Great Experience - The travel: We took the tour from Fethiye to Pamukkale, the travel was a bit long but the bus was comfortable and had a good driver, we had two times stop for rest. The Lunch was acceptable. Had a funny English tour guid, My kids named her "Miss Netflix". Pamukkale visit: the site is very interesting with 3000 yrs of history, lot of things to see and discover, Cleopatra pool was crowded, but it's normal in this season. We didn't got the chance to visit the museum. Try to avoid mid day visit in summer, there is a long distance to walk, not fun with low age kids!. Or you can rent a gulf car for 2 hrs. Everything was good for us. In general, the tour was well organized. Thx to the tour organizer.

Enjoyable day - Very long day as picked up from our hotel at 6:15 and dropped back at 19:30 but such a great experience. Our tour guide was so funny and knowledgable. It was a fun day with lots of stops breaking up the journey including breakfast and lunch stops . Only negative for me was stopping at the Onyx and jewellery outlet. There was no pressure to buy but I would have rather had longer at Pamakule

Pamuccale site - It was a very interesting Archeological site and as such very much visited, but it a such a long day travelling, might be better with an overnight stop, would allow for more time the site

Definitely go, just not with this tour group... - The tour itself was a great trip and our tour guide was knowledgeable about the history and the local spots. The views were out of a magazine and certainly deserves this trip out there. I'd spend at least 3-4 hours there for full photo opportunities. HOWEVER, this tour group was not forthcoming with its schedule. The entire tour group was forced to make an undisclosed and undesired 90 min detour to a mandatory jewelry shopping stop. This took away time from the entire group and was a blatant attempt at a cash grab from the tour company. This is a dishonest practice and I'd recommend my fellow wanderlust travelers definitely make a trip to visit Pamukkale but avoid this tour company.
