A long day but 100% worth it. Pamukkale is like another planet. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. The Deals Card saved us £16 each.

Bucket list ticked! Walking on those white terraces barefoot was magical. Hierapolis theatre is enormous and impressive.

Great tour but very long drive. Bring a neck pillow. Pamukkale itself was stunning — unlike anywhere else.
