Excellent guide and driver !
Alperen was an exceptional guide- passionate about history and gave us an amazing experience . His knowledge was doled put perfectly (tons for the historian in our family, while still pointing out key interesting points for the teen). Even the ride was enjoyable- from timely and clean transportation from our driver Aykut. Expect Pammukale to not look as “hydrated as advertised pics” given the need for the municipality’s goal of evening out erosion.
Operator response

Pamukkale Experince
Our Pamukkale tour guide, Ekim, was truly outstanding! From start to finish, Ekim made the experience enjoyable, informative, and stress-free. He shared fascinating insights about the history of Hierapolis and the natural beauty of the travertine terraces, all in a very engaging and clear manner. Ekim was friendly, approachable, and always ready to help with photos or answer questions. He managed the group with professionalism and ensured everyone had enough time to explore and enjoy each spot. Thanks to Ekim, our visit to Pamukkale was not just a sightseeing trip but a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended guide!

Alperep rating 20/10
Everything was perfect!
Communication with the agency and Alperep our guide was very simple and clear from the previous day.
We started punctually and Mr. driver drove responsibly the whole journey, the bus journey did not feel heavy.
Alperep’s work was remarkable, he’s so friendly that he made us feel like he’s our friend for years.
The place exceeded my expectations for the beauty of the theater and the travertine pool.
Alperep 100% recommended, it was great!

The visit to the cotton castle!
The tour to Pamukkale is a must. Together with Erman’s company, today we again had the opportunity to learn more about Turkey and its history. We were picked up at the hotel and taken to Hierapolis first where we got to know a little bit about the civilization of that place and its route over the years. Then we passed through Pamukkale; there we were given enough time to get to know each other, take pictures and visit the museum. We had a very varied and complete lunch and then visited an Onix factory. We returned very happy to Izmir! Super recommended the tour with Erman that always had the best layout.
Operator response

Es un lugar realmente especial y es un placer poder compartir su historia y belleza con ustedes. Qué bueno que tuvieron tiempo para explorar, tomar fotos y conocer el museo. También nos alegra que hayan disfrutado del almuerzo y la visita a la fábrica de ónix. ¡Esperamos verlos nuevamente en otro tour por Turquía! ¡Un abrazo desde Esmirna!

Great Tour With Erman!
Great tour of Pamukkale and Hierapolis with Erman Uslu. There was a little snafu when it turns out I was the only English speaker out of the 11 guests (the other 10 spoke Spanish). Nonetheless, we made it work and Erman was very accommodating and it worked out great.
Erman is very knowledgeable and you can tell he’s passionate about his home country. It was great learning from someone who was so passionate, vs someone reading a script or something.
This is one of the two destinations you have to go to while in Izmir. The other being Ephesus. I highly recommend this tour!
Operator response
