Full-Day Pamukkale Tour From Bodrum w/ Lunch & Hotel Transfer

It experience started with them changing the pick up time from an already early 6am, to an even earlier 4:40am, the night before the tour. We didn’t arrive at our Bodrum hotel from Cappadocia until 11:30pm the day before the tour, so an even earlier start was not ideal. The pick up was on time and we began the long ride to Pamukkale. We finally met the guide about a hour before we got to Pamukkale. However her time was split between the mini van we were on (about 10 people) and a large bus. The first stop was at a jewelry place. The guide didn’t set any time to be back and people were just confused. We spent well over an hour at this one site. Next we went to Pamukkale. Finally arriving over 7 hours after we set off. The site is well worth visiting, but not on this tour. We had about 2:45 at the site. Not really enough time to see everything we wanted to. We were back on the bus at 14:30, ready to get some lunch, but no, the next stop was wine tasting. Most of the group I was in didn’t drink and the wines were very sweet and not to my taste. For me, another waste of time. We finally got lunch around 4pm, if you can still call it lunch. It was ok. After that we headed back Bodrum non-stop, arriving at my hotel around 9:30pm. A very long day, of which 2:45 was worth it. The guide was very nice, but she was at times herding cats. The tour could be greatly improved with a better scheduling and better communication about how long to spend at each place and a guide that stayed with the group.

He brought me from Bodrum to Pamukkale, far away, and I was able to see the spectacular scenery. I don't think we can get there on our own...

Pamukkale looks different in the pictures than in real life, but it was still a nice memory.

Amazing experience!! Everything very organized, the guide she’s a such lovely lady and explained every to us . The food was also amazing .

The travertines look as good in person as they do in pictures. Nur, the guide, gave a great explanation about the city and the history. You’re given 3 hours to do what you like in the area. You pay the admissions fee on the way to the city which covers visiting the museum, walking up to the theatre, and walking through the travertines. There is an extra fee to visit the Cleopatra pools but the trip is still enjoyable without it. The experience requires an early start but better to visit when there are fewer visitors to get nice pictures and less traffic in the travertines.

Highly recommend this experience! The trip itself was amazing, but what really makes a difference on tours like this is the guide you get. We were incredibly lucky to have Nur as our guide. She was so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring throughout the whole day. She explained everything with passion, made everyone feel comfortable, and created such a great atmosphere for the group. Thanks to her, the entire experience was on another level. Nur truly made this trip special and unforgettable. Thank you again!

Nur is our DIVA of Pamukkale. Shes thoughtful, amazing, interactive, and ultimately helpful.

Very good and professional tour guide called Nur. The tour guide was very informative and entertaining plus gave personal opinions on were to visit first. Overall I enjoyed the tour.

Beautiful place but too crowded, making it impossible to enjoy the location... It was a long day, so be sure to wear good walking shoes and bring water.

Loved the historical side of this trip, Nuri was very knowledgeable and taught us lots about the buildings and site, absolutely loved the celopatrica pool, well worth it.
