Itinerary
The surreal, brilliant white travertine terraces and warm, limpid pools of Pamukkale hang, like the petrified cascade of a mighty waterfall, from the rim of a steep valley side in Turkey’s picturesque southwest. Truly spectacular in its own right, the geological phenomenon that is Pamukkale, literally "Cotton Castle" in Turkish
The ancient city of Hierapolis is located on a 200 meter high terrace of limestone deposits amid a wonderland of mineral water pools and petrified limestone waterfalls. The ancient city overlooks the modern town of Pamukkale in Turkey's Inner Aegean region
ocated on the main street between the theater and a sacred pool, this forty-by-sixty-foot temple was dedicated to the supposed god of light, Apollo

This trip was canceled and I was not informed. I received no communication from them and when I finally chatted with.viator, they told me it was canceled about 5 hours before we should have been leaving. If I hadn't reached out I would have been waiting for the bus at 6am. Unprofessional.
We’re very sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced with the last-minute cancellation and lack of communication. That’s definitely not the experience anyone wants, especially so early in the morning. Thank you for bringing this to attention — your feedback helps improve future service. We hope your next trip is much smoother and more enjoyable.
A fantastic tour trip, very well organised with a knowledgeable and energetic guide (which was needed with the long bus tour!!h The mixture of the natural phenomenon and ancient Roman history is not to be missed
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and found our guide both knowledgeable and energetic. We agree—the mix of natural wonders and ancient Roman history truly makes for a memorable experience. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!
An excellent tour. Picked up on time, well organised with a careful driver and an amazing tour guide 'Curly' who was entertaining, knowledgeable and looked after us well. It was obvious that he wanted to ensure we all had a good time. Breakfast and lunch were great. Even though we had already visited an Onyx factory on a previous tour we learnt even more about its production and of course it was a useful efreshment/toilet break. In Hierapolis there was plenty to explore - a little disappointed that the Pummakale pools are no longer fully immersed in water but understand the need to preserve the terrain and redirect water. We still had a paddle in the area that is available to tourists. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the white limestone pools and terraces, explored Hierapolis, its ancient ruins and the Roman Theatre. We chose not to swim in Cleopatra's pool but our fellow travellers did and thoroughly enjoyed the hot thermal water. A great and different day out.
Thank you for your detailed and kind feedback! We’re thrilled that Curly and the whole tour team helped make your day enjoyable and informative. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the meals and the extra insights at the Onyx factory. We understand your feelings about the Pamukkale pools, and we’re grateful for your understanding of the preservation efforts. It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring Hierapolis and the stunning terraces, and that others had a relaxing time in Cleopatra’s pool. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable experience!
We are generally wary of daytrips as one tends to spend more time on travel and shops, than at the actual site. We are pleasantly surprised with amount of time we got at the site. We got almost 4 hours, which is the best that can be expected in a day trip. Yalcin is a fantastic guide and full of energy. He kept the long drive informative and engaging.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad you appreciated the ample time at the site and that Yalcin’s energy and knowledge made the journey enjoyable. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again soon for another great experience!
Only the transfer took a long time, everything else was arranged well, our guide was a very funny and understanding person, he helped us a lot there.
"Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you had a great experience overall and that your guide made the trip enjoyable and helpful. We'll definitely look into improving the transfer time. Hope to see you again soon!"

This was the best day trip ever! The guide Yalcin was very knowledgeable about Pemukkale, Hierapolis and Türkiye’s history as a whole. His passion for Turkish history could be seen by the expressions from his face and the jokes and laughter he created. Yalcin gave fun facts about Turkish history and how it relates to present day, something I never would have known before meeting him. He made it a very fun and memorable day and gave us as much time as he could to be able to visit the whole site. It was a long 12-14 hour day but so worth it. Breakfast and lunch was included in the pricing and was very tasty. The driver was also amazing, having the energy and willpower to drive non stop for 3/4 hours each trip. I am so glad I attended this day trip and for sure, I would do it again in the future. I highly recommend this company for this day trip, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that Yalcin’s knowledge and passion made your day trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis so memorable and enjoyable. It sounds like you had a full and rewarding day, and we’re glad the meals and driver added to the great experience. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another adventure!
This was by far the best ever decision I made for my bday holiday, I am absolutely obsessed with pirates, so when I saw this excursion it was a no brainer! The thought of it being a party boat could put some off but it was an amazing experience, we danced to traditional Turkish music, had good flow of drinks served by the team, the entertainment was second to none, they really know how to party and enjoy life! We stopped off about 6 times to different coves and jumped off the boat into the beautiful crystal clear waters of turkiye! The views, can only be described as paradise! We had the chicken lunch which was so flavoursome and I only didn't eat it all as I didn't want to them swim straight after but wished I'd took it home 😁 As it was my birthday the team were constantly celebrating me and giving me shout-outs so I felt abit more special! Got to meet lots of cool people and definitely would do it again if I return to Oludeniz! Thank you All for an amazing experience!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear your birthday party on the pirate boat was such a memorable and joyful experience. It sounds like you had an incredible time with great music, beautiful views, and awesome company. We loved celebrating with you and hope to see you back in Ölüdeniz soon for another unforgettable adventure!
This is a very long trip but was totally worth it, our guide Yalcim (Curly) was so knowledgeable and fun he made the journey fly by. He gave us lots of information about the area when we arrived and even suggestions how to plan the day, then met us 40 mins before the end to show us the theatre and really brought it to life. He was also very courteous to a fellow traveller and assisted them up and down the hill. I thought four hours would be hard to spend there but I could have spent a lot longer! Food was basic but good, loved the addition of Cleopatras pool, so worth it! If you are thinking of it just go in will remember that magic day for a long long time
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We’re so happy Yalcin (Curly) made your trip enjoyable and memorable with his knowledge and kindness. It’s wonderful to hear you loved Cleopatra’s Pool and the overall experience. We hope to welcome you again for another magical day soon!
