★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 297 reviews · 15 hours · from $59Our pick

Travel from Side to Pamukkale and Hierapolis in an air-conditioned bus, with a guide such as Kaan, Apo, Kadir, or Inci. Explore Roman ruins, walk across the white travertines, and swim at Cleopatra’s Pool for an added fee. Lunch, hotel transfers, and insurance are included.

“Kaan - our tour guide, was excellent he had lots of knowledge on the history of the area. The organisation of the trip was really good, lots of travelling but breaks are scheduled in to help break up the day. The Roman city was the highlight of our trip. The hot springs are also very scenic and great for photos”

“The tour was very complete and the tour guide was extraordinary. In my opinion we could have skipped the visit to the textile shop and, in its place, we could have visited Laodikea. But everything was fabulous. The travertines were a bit crowded and I think the water levels were low (but I believe it was because of the month we visited the place)”

6.From City of Side: Pamukkale & Hierapolis Day Tour w/ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 25 reviews · from $62

Travel from Side to Pamukkale and Hierapolis on a guided 15-hour day trip. Walk the white travertine terraces, explore the ancient city, swim in thermal water, and visit Cleopatra Pool. Lunch and hotel pickup are included, but entrance fees cost extra and the drive is long.

“Ogólnie Pamukkale i Hierapolis super, warto odwiedzić, ale cały zamysł wycieczki mógłby być lepszy. 60% czasu spędza się w autokarze, tylko 2h na miejscu i w mojej ocenie niepotrzebna strata czasu na przystanki w sklepach gdzie są zawyżone ceny. Osobiście wolałbym odpuścić te przystanki, a spędzić trochę więcej czasu na miejscu. Tak czy inaczej udany dzień. Posiłki ok, ale bez szału. Przewodnik bardzo w porządku.”

Travel from Guatemala City to Pacaya National Park with an English or Spanish-speaking guide. Hike about 60 minutes toward the crater, see volcanic rock and possible lava flows, then soak at Kawilal Hot Springs and enjoy lunch.

“The trip itself was good. However, it was poorly organized. Our driver forgot a group, delaying us over an hour. Then we were stuck in traffic for 2 hours,due a protest (out of their control). On the drop off, the driver got lost and dropped a group off somewhere random. The entire drive that evening the driver was erratic and aggressive. I understand it was a long day, but I wish he would have had better composure.”

“Absolutely a must see and experience when in Turkey. It’s a long day , recommend offering without lake visit if possible to fly back to Istanbul same day, 16 hour day is too much, also recommend to take a checkable case as wanted to buy wine and more but couldn’t carry it on flight”

“Our second tour guide was driving dangerously, speeding and driving against traffic almost causing multiple accidents, I had to stop the tour after the first 45 minutes as my partners safety became a legitimate issue. When I complained to the tour operator he did nothing to assist and basically absolved them of any wrongdoing based on their explanation of what occurred. Trang spoke broken English and did little to explain what we were looking at. This was the worst tour I've ever taken and highly recommend that people consider a more professional tour company.”
