Best day at Pamakkule - What an amazing day!! My guide, Isik, and the driver arrived at my hotel promptly at 8am as arranged and we set off for Pamakkule. On the way, Isik pointed out many very interesting landmarks and was fun to talk to. She had a stop to a coffee shop along the way planned to break up the drive and so that I could use their facilities. The people at the coffee shop were very welcoming and after a lovely cup of coffee, we were back on our way. After arriving at Pamakkule, Isik gave me great tips on how to get the best experience there. She scheduled the trip so that we avoided most of the crowds which made it even better! After Pamakkule we walked over to Hieropolis. Isik was extremely knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about the history as we made our way up to the theater. She also knows the best photo op locations and was happy to help me with photos😊 The ride back to the hotel was a pleasure as Isik is easy to talk to and the ride seemed like only minutes. Throughout the day, Isik was extremely accommodating and she made sure that my experience was the best it could be. The day was well thought out and tailored to my requests. This tour definitely exceeded all my expectations and I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Pammukale tour - Pammukale was amazing, wish we can spend more time there. Melike, the tour guide took good care of the group with good knowledge of the destination. The buffet lunch was not bad but it is not as good as the lunch offered to the Ephesus tour. Hotel pick up as on time. Driver was very kind..

Worth a visit - We enjoyed our day trip and Pamukkale was an amazing sight it was very busy, but I guess that is to be expected given its significance. We would have liked to hear more information from our guide during the trip there and back. 2.5 hours each way is a long time in the van and some interesting facts would have been appreciated.
