Traveler reviews
Avoid this tour – a complete waste of time and money!
Avoid this tour – a complete waste of time and money! While Pamukkale and ancient Hierapolis themselves are incredible and well worth seeing, this specific tour was a total nightmare. Terrible Food Quality: The breakfast and lunch were by far the worst meals I have ever been served in my life. Feeding something of this quality to paying guests is completely unacceptable. Aggressive Tourist Trap: Instead of spending proper time at the main attractions, we were dragged to two unannounced detours - a stone/jewelry shop and a wine tasting. It is a pure scam designed to push overpriced goods onto tourists. Trying to sell a bottle of wine for €37 that wouldn't cost more than €2-3 back home is ridiculous. Dismal Tour Guide: The guide did the bare minimum, offering only brief, basic announcements without any real history or enthusiasm. The beauty of Hierapolis has zero to do with her efforts. Overall, poor organization, awful food, and wasted time at forced shopping stops. Highly recommend avoiding this company.
Scam
The trip takes you to a stone masons avoid at all cost, we were not informed until you get on the bus. This is a scam, avoid buying anything from this place extortionate prices for glass jewelry. Massive tourist trap along with another place they take you to a pomegranate factory again another scam they trap you in a room and bombard you with products. Avoid going into the two detours. Pammukle is nice once you finally get there.
Excellent tour, even better guide.
Excellent tour! Long day but totally worth it. Comfortable drive with stops in between, breakfast and lunch were great and well-needed. Our guide, Nur, was exceptional. Extremely informative about the history, well spoken, pleasant and friendly. Made the tour that much better. Highly recommend you follow her suggestion on the order of what to see to best manage your time. Overall, 10/10 and great bang for your buck. Can’t go wrong selecting this tour and I would definitely do this again as long as Nur is still doing the guide.
Memorable experience
