“Our guide Dilek was very cheerful and made the tour a lot of fun. The site itself, Pamukkale, was also very attractive and the lunch was well worth it. However, the communication regarding the pick-up time for the tour was very late and we were concerned that the tour would actually go ahead. It was after 21:00 the day before when we were finally informed of the time. I think this should be improved.”
