Pamukkale Tour from Izmir

1.Pamukkale Tour from Izmir

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 806 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $133Our pick

Travel from Izmir to Pamukkale in a small group of up to 18, with pickup, transport, lunch, entry fees, and an English-speaking guide. Spend three to four hours among the white travertines and Hierapolis ruins, then return to Izmir the same day. Guides may include Alperen, Erman, Selim, or Ekim.

“Our guide Alperen was great with his directions, history lessons and overall demeanour, making the site tour and bus ride enjoyable. A previous review is correct in that it would have been helpful to know that the Cleopatra pools were closed (also seems they have been closed for some time) and this should have been advised prior to the tour so that visitors could opt out if they wished. The other note, which is the main reason for the average review is the Onyx shop. It wasn't listed in the itinerary, and perhaps this is because the organiser knows this shop is a scam. Unfortunately, we fell for this scam…”

“It was a really great day, the driver was very nice, pick up on time, 2 hr drive into the area, & the tour guide was terrific, he explained everything with details and the information was great, the sights were incredible, the only disappointment was the Cleopatra swimming baths were under construction, so probably in a month they said it could be open again, so no swimming in the cleopatra baths, But still you have those waters where you can walk in, some up to your thighs if you like for healing properties it’s like 3 gigantic layers size pools, and you see the mountains of white, the tour guides…”

“Hello, the experience with that Tour was very bad. for me from Izmir the tour time was more than 12 hours, which I can understand because the distance was very long. What I cannot understand is that we have arrived at the historical site of interest, the reason for which I hired the Tour, around noon, and they have led us to waste more than two hours of time shopping sites that are not of interest to me , which were not included in the Tour program, and for which I did not pay. That meant we had less than three hours to tour hierapolis, pamukale. In addition, the guide…”

“sinceramente ci aspettavamo di più. quasi tutte le terazze erano asciutte ed anche la piscina di Cleooatra non era disponibile, causa lavori. inoltre da nostro albergo di Izmir, il tragitto è stato esageratamente lungo a causa di scelte di percorso discutibili. bisogna però dare atto alla Guida per la sua competenza. nel complesso, non siamo stati soddisfatti.”
