  3. David

    We had the pleasure of taking the two days Ephesus and Pamukkale tour from Istanbul with this excellent tour company, and I must say, it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, informative, and incredibly enjoyable. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke excellent English, making it easy for everyone in the group to understand the history and significance of each location we visited. The transportation was comfortable, and the accommodations were top-notch, with clean and comfortable rooms. The highlight of the tour, of course, was visiting the ancient city of Ephesus. Walking through the streets of this well-preserved city was like stepping back in time. Our guide provided fascinating insights into the history and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans who once called Ephesus home. The highlight of the day was seeing the Library of Celsus, one of the most iconic structures in Ephesus. The second day was spent exploring the natural wonder of Pamukkale, known for its terraced hot springs and beautiful travertine formations. Our guide gave us an in-depth explanation of how the travertine pools are formed and the significance of the hot springs in ancient times. We even had the chance to take a dip in the warm pools, which was a truly unique and relaxing experience. Finally, I highly recommend the two days Ephesus and Pamukkale tour from Istanbul. It’s an incredible way to see some of the most impressive historical and natural wonders of Turkey, all while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a well-organized tour.
