Review of the Pamukkale small-group tour from Kusadasi, covering the thermal terraces, Hierapolis, lunch, costs, timing, and cruise return.

“The tour was super well organised and our guide Cem was super insightful, kind and honestly just a pleasure to listen to. I would personally recommend this tour if you’re visiting during the peak season, as it’s quite busy and walking during 35 degrees can be a bit exhausting. But nonetheless it was worth it and I would definitely recommend booking with Peron Tour. Thank you, Cem!”

Review of the Antalya to Pamukkale hot air balloon tour, including sunrise flight, transport, lunch, costs, delays, and practical tips.

“The balloon ride gets 5 stars. The rest of our day was a total waste. We did NOT want a visit to an onyx factory, we did NOT want to spend another €30 each and over 3 hours in Heirapolis although we were practically forced to. We declined and sat for those 3hrs in a small cafe!!!!!! We had paid a lot of money already and it should have been more explicit and upfront about this extra cost! Also, we were picked up at 2.35am from our hotel and yet there was no food stop for breakfast , only lunch at 1,00. Our food was sub average! Our transport on…”

Review of the Pamukkale and Hierapolis tour from Kusadasi, covering transport, sights, lunch, costs, timing, and the closed Cleopatra’s Pool.

“Although the guide was great, the trip was a little bit of a let down, they told us a day before that cleopatra’s pool would be closed for renovation and could not go, this however was not the case, I asked for a refund as this was a deciding factor in picking this trip, I asked for a refund, did not get one, contacted Viator who was no help either, they said this was an added extra, even through this is advertised, they did give us extra time at the other attraction but once you have seen one stone block you have seen them all, the cliffs were nice but…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 36 reviews · 10 hours · from $103

Visit Pamukkale’s white travertines and ancient Hierapolis from Kusadasi, with lunch, entry tickets, transport, and time for the thermal pools.

“Enjoyable day, guide was very good and knowledgeable. Kept well informed right up to the trip and punctual pick up and drop off. Would have liked more than 1 hour at Pamukkale- it was a bit rushed for us. Lunch was poor quality at a local venue and together with about a zillion other tour operators grabbing food like it was feeding time at the zoo. Stop off at Onyx factory was a waste of time for us but understandable that business is needed for the local community. We just didn’t like the pressure of having to purchase something we didn’t want.”
