This is an excellent to discover Hierapolis Ancient city in the district of Pamukkale. I went this tour with my family. I mostly liked the swimming in the pool of Cleopatra. It was a great taste of the spring, feeling better now. The visiting of the Ancient city and the calcium terraces was great also. All the arrangements were good, thanks to Mr. Mehmet who helped us to have a geat day.
My wife and I have been in Istanbul several times and we have almost see all the things arround Istanbul. In our last vacation in Istanbul, we had a free day and decide to go out of Istanbul. We saw that travel bazaar is doing the day tour to pamukkale by flight. In a few minutes they arrange the tour and gave us all the details about the tour (flight tickets, transfers, tour deetails etc). Pamukkale is just amazing! tour guide (sorry couldnt rem the name of the guide) was really kind to us & transfers were on time. As a result, everything well smoothly without any trouble. Thank you all for the great service!
It is an excellent day with all organizations.
We went this tour from Istanbul with a great service of pick up on time and return was the same. The tour and tour guide were very good organized and tour guide was very knowledgeable and aswering all our questions and not pushing the group, it was nice, we had also time to swim in the mineral water swimming pool (It was not in the tour price 35tl). It was a great organization. Recommend this tour, if you do not have time for more to be there.
