I wasn't sure what to expect from the tour, but it was fantastic! Hotel pick-up was smooth, and the kids had so much fun exploring the Cotton Castle and its thermal pools. Meals included were delicious and made things easier. A perfect day trip for families.

Great experience for the entire family! The pampering thermal pools of Pamukkale were so relaxing while Salda Lake's sandy shores provided a perfect play area for our kiddos. Booking this tour was a great decision!

Wow, what an amazing journey! Our whole family had a blast exploring Salda Lake and Pamukkale. The turquoise waters really do make you feel like you are in the Maldives! My kids loved running around the Ancient Hierapolis ruins, pretending to be little archaeologists!
