Special cultural experience in Pamukkale - Impressive and Mesmerizing experience that we will remember for years to come. I've heard and watched shows about it and wanted to see first hand for a personal mystical experience. Bartu has helped us organizing it, and made it very smooth by communicating thoughout the booking process. Highly recommend. They do not allow video and photo during the ceremony, but have a special time for a photo opportunity.

Nice Türkish traditional dance - I always wanted to see this traditional Türkish dance and finally made my dream came true. It’s nice to been there once to see it by yourself! Thank you again to Yusuf, the great yet professional staff from Excursion Mania to help me arranged this great show. We actually was going to view it by a night before but they were out of electricity. Yusuf had tried to help me to solve the pick up problem ASAP. I think it’s very important to have an agent which he could be reached all the time when you are in the situation. He even apologized to me but I told him not to, because things happened and it wasn’t his fault anyway. He helped us solved the problem right away and we got picked up by the next day instead. I like how the person sang on that evening which it was so relaxing, soothing that my son fell asleep right before the show!🤣 But that’s alright, under 12 is free and he could view through my videos later.😃. Nice experience and highly recommended. Ppl were nice over there to provide their traditional drink right after the show, and you got the chance to view their souvenir products but you don’t have to buy if you don’t want to. 😉👍🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻(PS. You won’t allow to film during their performance BUT they’ll allowed you to film right after the show with the lights on.)
