Trip was very nice. Russian speaking guide was perfect he was telling us Turkey history, and that way how he was telling was very nice. English speaking guide was very good aswell, very funny man, telling some jokes and he didn’t gave us a minute to be bored, also he was singing songs, that was fun.
Total trip was great, Pamukkale and Kleaopatra pool, Herepolis and Salda was beautiful.
Only on our opinion, we not really enjoy all little shops on way to Pamukkale. And food was not really taste. But it’s just our opinion.
Thank you so much for everything! Pretty sure when we will came back to Turkey, we will text you for another trips. Because before we was bought trips from different companies and they lied a lot, but with your company was everything clear and good! Thanks a lot! ☺️
