It was a great tour! However, a day trip is very short. Rather than allocating time for the ruins and the pools/terrace that I bought the tour for we had two stops at what I call “tourist traps.” They happen on lots of tours, but they’re places simply to shop because the tours get a commission of what you buy. One was simply an outlet store. Another was under the guise of learning about locals, but once again- just for shopping. We wasted between an hour and two at these places. This made other things quite rushed. Specifically we only had 10 minutes at the famous Pamukkale terrace, one of the main hilights of the tour. I understood the day would be rushed, but so much time could be saved if they did not try to make a further profit off of us when we had already paid a lot for the tour. The transfers from hotel to airport, trip, and then back were seamless.I took this one day trip from Istanbul to Pamukkale, and I have to say it was really good but unfortunately also really rushed.

I took this one day trip from Istanbul to Pamukkale, and I have to say it was really good but unfortunately also really rushed. The one thing that really made this worthwhile was the beauty of Pamukkale and the knowledgable and friendly tour guide, and phone access to the tour office. The flight left Istanbul at 8am which meant that I got picked up at my hotel at 5am. By the time I got was picked up from the airport and made it to Pamukkale it was a bit after 11am. However the departure flight from Pamukkale was at 5:40 and had to leave my tour early to make it back to the airport. This gave me only about 4:30 hours in Pamukkale which is just not enough time. I was also very disappointed that of the included things in the tour I was not able to visit the museum and I did not get to have lunch because of how rushed everything was. Having said that the beauty of Pamukkale's white water pools, the cristal clear water of the antique pools and the historic ruins was really worthwhile. This tour would really benefit from having a later departure time from Pamukkale. If you do not mind having to be rushed and possibly missing out on lunch and museum, then it is worth it. Would i do it over again? Yes 👍Historical cites in both Laodicea and Hierapolis were truly impressive. Unfortunately time to visit for both of these were too short and our tour guide had little information to share. Instead time was spent visiting Salda lake (not part of the original tour description) and two stops for stores...
Historical cites in both Laodicea and Hierapolis were truly impressive. Unfortunately time to visit for both of these were too short and our tour guide had little information to share. Instead time was spent visiting Salda lake (not part of the original tour description) and two stops for stores other one an outlet style selling clothing items and the other one a local rock/jewelry shop. Buy your own tickets to the pool in Hierapolis otherwise you are paying an inflated priceThe Guide and the Driver are carefully and very polite, and the agency realy understand the customer expextation. Thankful for all support.
