Beautiful - That was with the most beautiful thing I've seen. Bathing in the Aphrodite pool was a dream, thankfully it wasn't crowded due to season ending.

Great Day Tour! - Lovely organised day tour to Pamukkale! Be sure to pack some snacks as it is quite a long day (12-13 hours). We were picked up promptly at 6.10 am and got back around 7pm - just in time for dinner. The tour includes a simple light breakfast (nothing fancy, so don’t expect too much!) which filled us up sufficiently, then on to Pamukkale - travertines, cleopatra’s pool and hierapolis. You get about 3 hours of free time so plenty to get around. There are some pit stops to shop/ factories but these were minimal and was a nice break from the road. I particularly appreciated the fact that they didn’t oblige you to purchase anything - we did bring home some lovely tea!
Lunch was also included - this was more filling and buffet style.
Make sure to bring cash as you will need to pay for entrance fees, they collect the money before arriving to make it efficient.
Overall a fun day out, highly recommended.

Great tour and guide - Great guide. Was very knowledgeable of the area and explained things that I was unaware of even though I have visited many times before. Made the whole experience very enjoyable. Tour operator made the whole pickup and drop off process very easy. Would definitely book with this company again

FANTASTIC TRIP - We booked the day trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis. It was a wonderful day. The tour guide passed on information with a lot of wit and humor. You had 3 hours of free time on site so that everyone could visit the places individually according to their own ideas. The journey from Fethiye to Pamukkale took place in an air-conditioned, comfortable coach.
That includes breakfast and lunch were also great.
We would do this tour again and recommend it to everyone.

nice experience - We loved the food and the places we visited. We would like to thank our guide Güray for his interest and explanations. We were the only Turkish family on the tour, and since we knew that the narration was in English, I told my family that I would translate it myself, no problem, but he still helped by narrating in both English and Turkish, and we were very pleased 🙏

Guide made the day! - My review is in two parts:
1. The journey to Pamukkule gave an opportunity to see the vast and impressive countryside.. mountains and vast plains that repeat. The site has two parts the natural wonder of white travertine pools with pale blue waters flowing down the cascade. Then the ancient ruins of Heirapolis with Greek/Roman times. It was amazing to walk down the street, pause under huge arch's, stand in the amphitheatre and swim the spa waters as the Romans would have done. Superb and unforgettable.
2. The guide Giray made the day! He was professional and knowledge but also a little crazy and made us all laugh! He gave clear instructions and at the site gave us information on how best to use the 3.5hours time. After that we were free to divide the time as you pleased which was pleasant. The driver was sensible and calm which shouldn't be taken for granted! Plenty of stops. You only tend to go once so make it a trip to remember and book Giray!

Amazing UNESCO site - A full-day trip from Marmaris on an organised tour with a big bus. I left early, around 6-7, to arrive 13h later and spend only about 3 hours at Pumakkale... That was the only disappointing part.
First breakfast (included) stop, then shop some onyx. I got there for a tour with a guide and then some time to roam around and use the pools.
Then time to gather at the bus to take a short drive to lunch (buffet) and then again back on the coach to some taste wine place. One last stop to use the toilet before getting back to Marmaris.
Overall, Pamukkale is a must-visit place. If possible, take your own transport so you can enjoy the HUGE place, time around between ruins, deep the feet in the small pools, take a swim at the thermal pool (ticket on the side) and sit and relax in the amphitheatre with a capacity for 15,000.
ATTENTION: shade is very limited, so if you go as I did on a hot summer day, ensure you take enough water, a hat and sun cream, as the heat can cook you. However, there are at least three cafes/restaurants, but if you are enjoying your walking in between ruins, those places can mean a 20-30min walk in the sun. Take appropriate shoes to walk up and down, and be prepared to be barefoot in the snow-white lakes of Pumakkale.
The initial ticket for the trip includes the journey, breakfast, lunch and the entrance ticket (ruins and Pamukkale) but not the pool, which should be bought from the tour guide on site.
Conclusion: a must-see once-in-a-lifetime place! If taking a tour, forget about time to dip in the thermal Cleopatra pool!

Pammukekale was good, no textile workshops though - Overall I enjoyed the day but was left disappointed. The trip was advertised as pamukkale and textile workshops. I booked solely for the workshops.
Their was no workshops, instead their was a visit to onyx stones gift shop and a wine gift shop. Both gift shops was very expensive.

Trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis - Hi - a couple of points
1. They had too many passengers on the coach and took about an hour to decide who should get off and catch an alternative coach - delayed setting off from Marmaris
2. also meant that one of the two guides had to sit by me - all he did was go to sleep - put his seat into the passanger behind and coughing all the time
3. I don’t think the English of both tour guides was brilliant considering it was an English speaking tour (particularly the man)
4. The initial delay meant that we had less time than forecast at the destination
5. the coach driver was excellent
6. the breakfast didn’t live up to expectations - stale bread and no milk (just powder) in the hot drinks
7. the worse point was the lunch - we have been on tours all over the World over many years - this was by far the worst food - the salad was so old and was covered in flies. It really was inedible
