      Great your, great guide. Seller misleading
      Tour guide Ilge really good. Most of the tour excellent. We were not told of the two shopping stops. And the transport failed to turn up on scheduled day so we had to go on the next day.

      Marvelous history lesson in Ephesus
      We had an amazing tour, saw a lot of interesting places. And the way Ceyda, our guide told about everything, brought your mind back in time. The day was ended before we noticed. We had a great day! Marcella & Ralf

      It's a Thumbs up from us
      This holiday was a special trip for me and my middle son for his 20th birthday, when we arrived we started perusing the trips, singling out the ones we wanted to go on., initially we thought we were going to get priced out this trip, and then we found it on viator, alas we could include it in our iteninary of things to do. Yes we were sceptical as it was so much cheaper than the other excursions, but thankfully we didn't need to worry. Eren our tour guide was exemplary, yes it was a long day, the travel time can be tedious and yes there were obvious Market stops before we got there, but Eren was always a joy..... On the journey there, Eren kept us up to date with information and facts of surrounding areas, once there,he was efficient in keeping us all organised, taking us around showing us where everything was, before setting us free to roam the wilds for ourself. The calcium pools were stunning, be warned though, it is very very slippy in places and can be uncomfortable under foot. But be brave and it's worth it. The museum is fantastic, we were both quite stunned at the age of some of the antiquities, we then walked up to the Theatre, honestly our jaws dropped,the pictures just do not do that place justice, truly truly stunning. The only gripe is, I wish we had longer. Over all a massive Thumbs Up to Eren and Viator for helping my son and me make Memories ❤️

      Pamukkale Tour
      Tour organisation via WhatsApp was nice and simple and instructions for the morning. Our guide Eren was friendly and chatty right from the start, he gave us some information as we drove starting with where we set off and some information about Pamukkale also which was interesting. He was very patient with some in our group, he deserves a shout out just for that! They were approx 15 minutes late for pick up, but no problem as we were one of the last. It was a small group for sure with 11 of us in a minibus which is much nicer than a large coach. The actual minibus itself was comfy and good air con. Upon embarking we were advised to pay for the Pamukkale entrance fee in cash…we didn’t have enough for both so I’d suggest this being advised prior to pick up. However on the flip side, it did make getting into the area a little faster. We had two breaks on the way as well as lunch. Lunch wasn’t great. Neither myself or partner liked this. It was Buffet style and was hot however not great. Once we got to Hieropolis I was expecting a bit more of a tour as suggested, rather than just walked to where the different view points were, so this was a bit disappointing as this part felt forgotten about as it was more of a point things out as we walked past. We were given 3 hours of free time (however this was more like 2 1/2 by the time we had gotten out of the car park/ all through ticket barrier etc. I think 4 hours would’ve been better if we were not to have the group guided tour. The actual time at Pamukkale was lovely, busy but not rammed. We then opted to pay to go in Cleopatra pool which was so lovely and warm. Not something I’d do again but a good experience.

      If you get a choice of guide, make sure you get Eren.
      Eren is a fabulous guide. He is very friendly, with a great sense of humour, and everyone on the minibus with us loved him. He has great knowledge of the history of the areas of that we passed through and told it in an easy to understand way. Unlike some guides who never stop talking, Eren gave just the right number of information at various places.

      Great Turkey Brief by EREN (Saint)
      Eren (our tour guide) briefed and explained in detail not just the Pamakule tour, but also about the entire Turkey region, its history, key places and local regional relevance The best guide experience we had in our entire tour of 8 days Arranged great Vegetarian food as well, which obviously we didn’t expect

      Day trip to Pamukkale from Kusadasi
      Our guide Eren was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The Hieropolis was really cool to see. The main upper parts of the travertine’s were full of water and made for some beautiful photos! Definitely worth taking the trip up to see this interesting place! Would highly recommend Eren and the Peron tour team!
