Amazing UNESCO site

A full-day trip from Marmaris on an organised tour with a big bus. I left early, around 6-7, to arrive 13h later and spend only about 3 hours at Pumakkale... That was the only disappointing part. First breakfast (included) stop, then shop some onyx. I got there for a tour with a guide and then some time to roam around and use the pools. Then time to gather at the bus to take a short drive to lunch (buffet) and then again back on the coach to some taste wine place. One last stop to use the toilet before getting back to Marmaris. Overall, Pamukkale is a must-visit place. If possible, take your own transport so you can enjoy the HUGE place, time around between ruins, deep the feet in the small pools, take a swim at the thermal pool (ticket on the side) and sit and relax in the amphitheatre with a capacity for 15,000. ATTENTION: shade is very limited, so if you go as I did on a hot summer day, ensure you take enough water, a hat and sun cream, as the heat can cook you. However, there are at least three cafes/restaurants, but if you are enjoying your walking in between ruins, those places can mean a 20-30min walk in the sun. Take appropriate shoes to walk up and down, and be prepared to be barefoot in the snow-white lakes of Pumakkale. The initial ticket for the trip includes the journey, breakfast, lunch and the entrance ticket (ruins and Pamukkale) but not the pool, which should be bought from the tour guide on site. Conclusion: a must-see once-in-a-lifetime place! If taking a tour, forget about time to dip in the thermal Cleopatra pool!

Pammukekale was good, no textile workshops though

Overall I enjoyed the day but was left disappointed. The trip was advertised as pamukkale and textile workshops. I booked solely for the workshops. Their was no workshops, instead their was a visit to onyx stones gift shop and a wine gift shop. Both gift shops was very expensive.

Trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis

Hi - a couple of points 1. They had too many passengers on the coach and took about an hour to decide who should get off and catch an alternative coach - delayed setting off from Marmaris 2. ⁠also meant that one of the two guides had to sit by me - all he did was go to sleep - put his seat into the passanger behind and coughing all the time 3. ⁠I don’t think the English of both tour guides was brilliant considering it was an English speaking tour (particularly the man) 4. The initial delay meant that we had less time than forecast at the destination 5. ⁠the coach driver was excellent 6. ⁠the breakfast didn’t live up to expectations - stale bread and no milk (just powder) in the hot drinks 7. ⁠the worse point was the lunch - we have been on tours all over the World over many years - this was by far the worst food - the salad was so old and was covered in flies. It really was inedible

Amazing Tour

The tour was fantastic, my husband and I had the best time with loads of great photos to look back on to remember our time here. Thank you!

Great Day Tour!

Lovely organised day tour to Pamukkale! Be sure to pack some snacks as it is quite a long day (12-13 hours). We were picked up promptly at 6.10 am and got back around 7pm - just in time for dinner. The tour includes a simple light breakfast (nothing fancy, so don’t expect too much!) which filled us up sufficiently, then on to Pamukkale - travertines, cleopatra’s pool and hierapolis. You get about 3 hours of free time so plenty to get around. There are some pit stops to shop/ factories but these were minimal and was a nice break from the road. I particularly appreciated the fact that they didn’t oblige you to purchase anything - we did bring home some lovely tea! Lunch was also included - this was more filling and buffet style. Make sure to bring cash as you will need to pay for entrance fees, they collect the money before arriving to make it efficient. Overall a fun day out, highly recommended.

Great tour and guide

Great guide. Was very knowledgeable of the area and explained things that I was unaware of even though I have visited many times before. Made the whole experience very enjoyable. Tour operator made the whole pickup and drop off process very easy. Would definitely book with this company again
