“I was picked up at 7:30 from my hotel in Kusadasi and was sitting in the minibus for 1:30 hours to pick up all the 18 passengers from all hotels. We Arrived on Pamukkale at 1:45pm in the hottest part of the day . And we had time just till 4:30 pm to explore the whole site!! and arrived back in my hotel at 8 pm. Too much time was wasted with this tour and not recommend this. advertising with small tour is misleading as I was expecting only 6-8 people not 18 people from various hotels.”
