This is an amazing tour and recommend it to anyone visiting Antatalya. We had a great time, visiting the pools, historical ruins and the museum. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made it the more interesting with her history knowledge and facts.

Interesting experience! The lunch is great and the length of visit is good. The guide is informative. Although the fee of tour is not that cheap, it’s still worth to come once.

I just did the Pamukkale & Hierapolis tour, and it was amazing. The travertine pools are unreal in person, and the ruins behind them were way more interesting than I expected. Our guide, Dilek, totally made the experience... super friendly, funny, and full of really cool historical info without ever overwhelming us. She gave us time to explore on our own, take photos, and actually enjoy the views instead of rushing. Honestly, one of my favorite days in Turkey ... highly recommend this tour (and definitely ask for Dilek!

The Pamukkale tour was amazing! The breathtaking scenery, the well-organized schedule, and most importantly, our tour guide Dilek made it an unforgettable experience. Dilek was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and full of positive energy. She explained every detail with great care, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. She answered all our questions sincerely and took the time to engage with everyone in the group. It was truly a wonderful experience—many thanks to everyone involved, especially to Dilek for her effort and kindness. I highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to visit Pamukkale! 🌿💙

During our family vacation in Antalya, we booked all our daily tours with Solymos Travel. The Pamukkale and city tours were really enjoyable. Both the guides and the agency staff were very attentive. It was a great experience for us, and we’ll definitely come back for them again.

Had a relaxing day on the Pamukkale tour with Khan. The tour was interesting and fun. Lunch was included and so healthy that I’m pretty sure I gained vitamins instead of calories. If you’re thinking about booking, stop thinking and just do it!
