Review of the Kusadasi Pamukkale and Hierapolis tour, with thermal terraces, ancient ruins, lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The day of the excursion started perfectly and it only went uphill. We were picked up at the agreed-upon time and location by a modern Mercedes minivan with A/C. The guide, Melahat, was very friendly and knowledgeable about Pamukkale and Hierapolis. She had excellent ideas to make our day as pleasant as possible. It was very hot, so she suggested renting transportation from the Hierapolis site. This way, we didn't have to walk but had transportation to the main sights. In the afternoon, we had a delicious lunch. Then, we ended the day with two stops for souvenir shopping. When I mentioned that I was looking for apple tea, she…”

Review of the Bodrum to Pamukkale day tour, with travertines, Hierapolis, Karahayit hot springs, meals, costs, and practical advice.

“Pamukalle is a beautiful place. My advise to the trip organisor is that they should be more transparent about the time of travel. it is said that it takes 3 hours to pamukalle. In fact it takes much longer. It is also very unpleasant that you can just stay 2,5 hours in the place. The trip organisors are very kind but please change time to travel to 4,5-5 hours.”

“Mauvaise organisation du début à la fin !!! Mauvais horaire donné à des voyageurs le matin donc couac lors du ramassage ! Un micmac a été réalisé sur le bord de la route le soir avec des changements de navette, apparemment l’idée était de regrouper les personnes d’un même hôtel dans chaque navette…sauf que l’organisation est tellement mauvaise qu’ils ont oublié des voyageurs dans la navette le soir !!! Des tours et détours , un véritable sketch ! Il faut vraiment le voir pour le croire ,un niveau de ridicule au summum ! La guide a abandonnée le groupe avant la fin de la dépose des personnes du groupe sans…”

8.Pamukkale, Hot Springs & Travertines Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.2 · 14 reviews · from $54

Review of Bodrum’s Pamukkale day tour, with travertines, Hierapolis, Cleopatra Pool, lunch, long bus rides, costs, and practical tips.

“Day trip to Pamukkale was not worth it as pools are dried up right now so it does not look the way it does in pictures. Just white stone. Very slippery area. Would highly recommend wearing shoes for over rocks but I don’t think that’s permitted. I dislike that all the tours bring you to shops to entice you to buy expensive souvenirs like handmade pottery, jewelry etc. I wish there was a way to opt out of this. Long journey from Bodrum - 4+ hours, total time at sites was 3 hours. Rest of the time was on bus, going to buffets, bathroom/coffee breaks. And souvenir shopping. Left at…”
