Excursión de día completo a Pamukkale y Hierápolis desde Izmir

It's fabulous but there just isn’t enough time to do everything considering the long drive from Izmir. The guide was knowledgeable and personable. I did enjoy seeing the countryside on the drive. The travertine pools are treacherously slippery. Cleopatra's pool was the highlight for me. It was a busy day so had to wait in line before and after swimming to use one of the limited changing rooms. I chose to pay for a golf cart ride to the theatre instead of walking. It was well worth paying for in order to have more swimming time. I got a round trip ticket and when we got to the top the driver said I had 15 minutes to take pictures. I hadn't noticed any signage informing me of this detail. Unless you are really into museums I would say skip it. The Buffet lunch was good. Be aware that there is always a "shopping experience " included with a tour.

There is other tours with later start date that might be better, avoid this one, a normal drive to pamukkale would take 3 hours but with this operator it turns into a 5 hour ordeal, you start in a van with not many people then you make 1 random stop, then another stop to join a bus with 25 other people (they join people from different citiies) then on the way to pamukkale expect many other small stops, once there (we arrived around 11 am) you are given 1.5 hours of free time to enjoy the travertines, museum and swim... Honestly if it wasn't because it became a huge group it might have gone more smoothly. The worst part is that as it was not enough to to cut time at the place, you get forced to go to an onyx stone store... those 45 min I would have rather had at the archeological site. It feels rushed, like they are trying to save money and very tiring

Rafael was an absolutely incredible tour guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about every detail of the experience. He made the tour unforgettable with his energy, humour, and personal touch, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing and memorable adventure!

There were 4 couples and Rafael was tour guide. He was excellent in his knowledge and very kind, considerate and leading us through all the sites. We enjoyed the tour tremendously and will recommend this tour to our family and friends.

Amazing experience! The trip was perfectly organized, and everything exceeded expectations. The information provided throughout the tour was clear, detailed, and very helpful, making it easy to understand the history, significance, and everything we were visiting. It really added so much value to the experience. A special thank you to Mustafa for the kindness, professionalism, and for making the day even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Pamukkale!

We had a great trip to Hierapolis and Pamukkale. Mustafa was a great guide. He provided great history and gave us ample time to take pictures. The ruins are fantastic. The Taverines of Pamukkale are beautiful. Our pickup from the Izmir hotel was on time and the ride was very smooth.

I’ve been on a few tours in my time but this one definitely blows all the rest away. From start to pick up me and my wife felt self and secure on the road with our top notch driver Nazif. The road trip was smooth and un-eventful, just the way I like it. He made our 2 hour+ drive as comfortable as possible. Our guide, Rafael, was next level. His knowledge of Hierapolis was both profound and insightful. I wasn’t just was blown away by his encyclopedic knowledge of Anatolia and Greek mythology but by the way he was able to spin that knowledge into a great story that had all of us hanging on the edge of our seats. Both Rafael and Nazif were friendly and personable and our group had an absolute blast. Trust me, if you’re going to take one of these tours, you’ll be doing yourself a great disservice if you don’t ask for Rafael by name. All together from booking to tours end, this experience has exceeded our expectations in every way!
