First of all Pamukkale is...

Mala_M, May 2024

First of all Pamukkale is beautiful! Yes I agree that the pools aren’t like the pictures, however it was still an amazing site to see and I definitely recommend visiting. Secondly, our tour guide, Nur, was quite lovely & informative. She has a fun personality and made the journey pleasurable. However, the agency advertised hotel pick up, but I was not picked up at my hotel. I was told that the bus cannot pass on the street that my hotel is located at so they provided an alternative pick up location. This location was further down the street that my hotel was located on.(I explained this but it didn’t matter) So at 5:30am, my husband and I had to stand at another location, in the cold, watching the bus enter OUR street (the same one that was too small to pass though) passing OUR hotel to pick us up on the same street. The journey from Marmaris to Pamukalle was 3 hours. However we weren’t given a lot of time in pamukkale. 3 hours is not enough time to visit the place. Especially since 2 other stops to sell us local wine and jewlery disguised as “workshops” were also included. Those workshops took away a lot of time & we (myself and everyone else on the bus) would’ve preferred to spend at Pamukkale.

Watch out for additional costs

S_K, Apr 2024

Honestly a very good excursion. The tour guide Bestie was lovely and made sure everything went smoothly! Cons: - None of your dietary requirements are acknowledged so all day I had to go without food as I have celiac disease (gluten free) and have an allergy to egg. - €30 per person additional cost for the entrance of Pamukkale - £7 per person additional costs for entrance at the Cleopatra pool

Too much missing Information

Jonathan_D, Oct 2023

Pamukalle and Hieropolis were fantastic. Less so, the coach, breakfast, lunch and 2 unscheduled stops designed to release you of even more money. What the advert fails to mention is that it costs 700tl each for entrance and a further 200tl each to swim in Cleopatra's pool. Although the excursion states collection and delivery to your hotel we were left on the main road to make our own way back. That said, the organisers have tried hard to make this good

An incredible experience

Kelly_W, Oct 2023

From the start collection was a breeze and very comfortable. Beste was our guide super helpful and very informative, also quite funny. From start to finish, stopping to see the onyx and then onto pammukale, getting to see pretty much all you can in the time frame is tight, but listening to her advice we managed to cover 99% of it. Then the sweetest treat was the wine and tea tasting! The food was great considering how many tours and people they were feeding!

Pamukkule, amazing but limited time when you get there.

Scott_G, Oct 2023

Pamukkule is a great place when you eventually get there. The guide was good, giving historical information about Turkey from the the Islamic faith perspective. My only advisories would be to cut out the stops at shops and vendors along the way. This woukd have given an additional few hrs at the site we paid to see and would give time to explore all the sites not needing to pick and choose, and time use the thermal springs, which is highly recommended. But otherwise a lovely place.

Pammukale- must do trip

Rawan_M, Sep 2023

Out tour guide Kadir (Hektor agency) was amazing and made sure everyone was happy throughout. A small breakfast was provided as soon as we got on the coach and simit (Turkish bread) was served soon after. We got 3 hours to explore Pammukale which was enough to visit and enjoy the area. Lunch was an open buffet and best I got in turkey with any activity (drinks cost extra). Overall great if you don’t mind early mornings and long journeys.

Pammukale Trip be careful entrance fee is not included in your tour:

Abdullah_B, Aug 2023

Be careful this trip this trip is very deceptive it does not include the the entry into Pammukale which is 700 Turkish liras (£21) you have to pay that separate and the breakfast included is not edible. The kids were very hungry and food on site is very very expensive as lunch was at 3pm we had to buy food so be prepared take so food with you or be prepared to pay for it. Very slippery the first few steps so be careful otherwise a beautiful place to visit.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello, thank you for your unfair comment. We have repeatedly stated in the tour program and on our page that Pamukkale entrance fees are not included in the price. That's why we didn't understand why you mentioned this in your comment, and we don't understand why it has a negative effect on you. You pay an entrance fee while visiting such an important museum all over the world. There is no negative side to it. In addition, the breakfast we serve in the morning consists of: cheese, jam, honey, olives, butter, chocolate, cake, fruit juice and fresh bread. We couldn't quite understand what your expectation was from breakfast in Turkey. In addition, we warn our guests in the tour program and in our messages that this tour is a long tour and that they should take some snacks with you. We also would like to thank you very much for not mentioning how good the guide on your tour was, also you traveled in a big and comfortable bus and lunch was served as an open buffet. After over 120 excellent reviews, we think this poor review is acceptable.

Amazing tour with an exceptional tour guide!!

mark_a, Aug 2023

Firstly, after 2 very average tours this week. I wasn’t sure what this your would be like. Wow…. To my surprise this tour was incredibly amazing. Beyond our expectations. Kadir, the tour guide was an absolute gentleman. Gave us very useful info and was very humble, charming and very knowledgeable about the sites visited and all the venues we stopped at. We ended up loving the Onyx factory and Wine farm stall, as well as a lovely lunch and great bus driver. I would wholeheartedly recommend this trip with Hector/Paylez travel if you are ever in Turkey/Marmaris. Five stars to Kadir and the team!

A good excursion but a very poor breakfast and a sales pitch at an extortionate wine shop.

AdamCraig_B, Aug 2023

Overall a good excursion with a lovely tour guide, Pamukkale was nice alongside the historical Hierapolis and the option to swim in Cleopatra's pool. Several stops along the way to break up the journey, albeit the winery sales pitch / shop was poor; extortionate prices with pomegranate wine circa five times the price of what we picked up an alternative for in Marmaris, no marked prices in the shop resulting in them trying to sell fig jam for 25 dollars, when queried they said well it is sugar free 🤣. The trip started at 05:30 thus breakfast was included, unfortunately this comprised of one piece of bread, one little jam, one little nut spread, a little butter, a small packaged muffin and a juice carton, very very poor indeed leaving nobody on the coach impressed. To surmise a good trip but with room for improvement.

Would do again but the evening tour

nichola_m, Jul 2023

Amazing day, would of been 5 stars but our tour guide was very racist toward British people and Russians. He made quite a few offensive comments that really did not need to be said, the comments added nothing to the tour and they annoyed a few people on the tour. The guide probably thought he was being funny, but he was verbally attacking British and Russian culture! Pammukkale, cleopatras pool and heiropolis ruins are amazing sights see, a must see/do experience for anyone visiting Turkey. There are pop up drinks stores around pammukkale, which due to the heat we were very grateful for. Expect to do a lot of walking if you want to experience the entire site and take snacks, the breakfast was given at 6am and lunch wasn’t until 4pm, the lunch was a buffet style meal with plenty of choices for everyone. We wouldn’t do the day tour again, only because of the heat and how busy it was, grown adults were barging into the kids! But we would do the evening one. Expect a really long day, pick up was 05:30 and we got back to the hotel at 20:00, worth is though and you can sleep on the coach.

Beste, best of the best!

Kaylie_T, Apr 2023

Throughout the tour, Beste was very knowledgable, informative, friendly, and helpful. One of our group members got travel sick and she kindly offered a herbal remedy. She allowed us an extra half an hour in Pamukkale, but it’s a shame that it rained. Mete was also very helpful in managing and informing us of the pick up times. Would highly recommend this tour!

Pammukale is mooi om te zien, de reis zelf was niet duidelijk aangegeven welke tussenstops je kreeg. De reisgids was ook erg zelf ingenomen. De tourdag is een aanrader maar met een andere indeling.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu sehen.

Dårlig tidsplan og meget...

Rene_K, May 2023

Dårlig tidsplan og meget venten. Alt for utroværdige billeder. Guiden gjorde sit bedste men var nok et overmatch
