Great trip - Lovely tour guide, very helpful and organised. No waiting around in queues or at entry points. Long day and completely worth. Our hotel wasn’t listed on the pick up points and when I rang up there was no problem to get collected right outside our hotel, very accommodating.

Pamukkale tour - The guide was very friendly & informative. The breakfast & lunch were descent too. The Pamukkale view is amazing. Experience at cleopatra pool, Heriapolis is great. The tour also took to local factories to market their local produce of gems/rocks/jewelleries & wine/turkish-delights. I need to mention that these were no cheap & priced like UK highstreet shops - need to be caution there. The same eatables & some products were foubd at half the factory price in a store at tea-break stop. Otherwise the trip is excellent.

Super!)) - Drove from Pegasus, took a tour with my husband, everything really liked) in the region of 3000 per person, but it is worth it. The trip took about 3 hours there, breakfast and lunch, and back 3 hours))

Day trip with Arbek travel, would recommend their services. - Coach, driver, guide and meals excellent .
Just disappointed that Cleopatra 's pool shut for renovation at the time of our visit and the water flow over into the calcified pools seems very little compared to previous visits, although haven't visited for many years perhaps this is now normal or due to the very hot summer in Turkiye this year.

Tour good, food not. - Ancient City Hierapolis, Pamukkale and Cleopatra Pool. Worth the hours of travelling. The ancient city Hierapolis, Pamukkale make the time spent travelling well worth it. Have a dip in Cleopatra pool - so don't forget the swim suites. Breakfast is Turkish presented in a box, so take your own if necessary as there is nothing to purchase. Lunch we did not touch as the flies had got there first!! The restuarant and toilets were dirty.

Great trip for couples and families - Pamukkale is awesome. I advice you to visit it first when you travel around Turkey. It's a great place to take a lot of photos:)
Just one drawback for me: you should be careful when swimming in the Cleopatra Pool because there are a lot of stones at the pool bottom and it's easy to twist leg

Good but could have been much better - Beste was a great guide and very knowledgable. No complaints about her. There are however issues with the logistics.
1. The bus was hot. The AC was running all the time but it was inadequate.
2. The stopovers at the Shops (Wine, Stone) was forced. I know it’s mentioned in the itinerary but these disrupts the flow of the journey and the overall trip could have been cut short by another 2 hours if these were avoided.
3. The place that served lunch was awful! Dirty, loud and many of the dishes were already finished.
4. Someone on the bus was constantly vaping. Unfortunately there were multiple families travelling with kids (including the smoker). I would have expected the guide to step in and stop it, but nothing of that sort happened.
So overall, this could have been a much better experience if the logistics were better.

Very poor spa experience - The spa falls are not what is advertised it is big white cliff with milk like water in about two spa baths and there are hundreds of people there the food is to spaced out so take snacks with u the breakfast was two boiled eggs bread cucumber had dinner was nice chips and drinks are extra and had to pay extra when we were there for admission and to swim in one of the lakes and ended up in a leather factory watching a leather cat walk at the end I was not impressed for the price we paid the host was amazing he was lovely but it definitely is not what the pictures look like and would not make the time out of my holiday to go again sorry but I was really disappointed

Not worth it - The tour guides were fantastic, and the actual city itself. This excursion is overpriced transport and mediocre lunch that doesn't even include drinks. The restaurant you're taken to is completely in the middle of nowhere so they deem acceptable to overcharge for drinks. Hire private transport so you can go at your own time. 3 hours for the site is not enough time.
