★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 124 reviews · 8 hours · from $45

Explore Selge, Eagle Canyon, Roman bridges, and aqueducts on an $45 day trip from Side with lunch by the Koprucay River.

“I wouldn’t recommend this trip. We were picked up and at the first stop we were placed at a table and told to wait. We kept asking what we were waiting for and how long and they just kept saying 5-10 min. It ended up being an hour which was obviously intended since we were apparently waiting for a group to finish their rafting activity. No one told us and it wasn’t mentioned anywhere. The car ride up the mountain has insanely loud music which was fun on the way there , on the way home I wouldn’t have minded if it wasn’t there anymore. The guide tried to shout…”

Review of Antalya's long Pamukkale day trip, with hotel pickup, meals, guide, white terraces, Hierapolis, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The worst experience! Started tour at 5am and ended at 10pm. This tour was mostly in bus ride majority of the time!! Many unnecessary stops and I was not informed that there would be extra costs such as entrance fees and to swim you had to pay fees! I purchased the tour through Viator in canada not knowing that this tour was longer than 15hrs. The main attraction was the Pamakkule thermal pools and we arrived around 1pm and had to be back on bus by 330pm. We toured mostly on bus ride for the rest of the duration. The thermal pools dont look anything like the l pictures on…”

15.Side Express Pamukkale &Hierapolis Day Trip w/Lunch & Pickup

Review of the Side to Pamukkale and Hierapolis day trip, with hotel pickup, lunch, guide, costs, long bus rides, and practical booking advice.

“The experience of Pamukkale and the site itself was lovely however the transit day was extremely uncomfortable as well as slightly dangerous. Our private transport picked us up from our hotel at 2:50 am and I have to say I feared for my life in the vehicle as the driver was driving extremely fast and dangerous. There was also another party on the transport who also felt the same, when we were looking for safety i.e. seatbelts they were not accessible which also made me even more fearful. After that initial drive we were then transferred onto another bus/vehicle which was extremely cramped and did not provide the best legroom.…”
