Everything is lovely!! Thanks so much for Mustafa who helped us with the booking. No upfront and hidden fees. Very transparent, honest and flexible. We initially booked for Side Alanya full tour but changed our mind last minute to go to Pamukkale. Mustafa was very kind and helpful to arrange everything so it wont ba a hassle to us. We were picked up from our hotel then rode the tour bus which is very clean and nice. Our tour guide speaks english and is also polite and interactive. We didnt get bored with Kadir. He makes sure we would get to our itineraries safely and on time. Then we were brought back to the hotel in this awesome private car transfer like celebrities (follow their IG: esg vip transfer). To sum it up, everything that was written on their page was spot on and everything exceeded our expectations. Will definitely book with Side excursions again next time.

Great tour with a great guide. Mr Mehmet was very friendly, informative and helpful. He kept us entertained and we’ve got lots of interesting information about the region from him throughout the tour. We had lovely time at this wonderful place and took tons of photos.
I can definitely recommend this trip to anyone staying in Side.

Pamukkkale is an incredible place and I highly recommend going there. It’s a long way from Side, but it worths every minute. They let you walk on the white steps barefoot. It can be slippery, so be careful there. Cleopatra’s pool is a nice and relaxing place, but a bit busy. The view from theatre in ancient city is amazing. The site is huge and lots to do but time is limited. We spent about 4 hours on the site but I wish we had more. A great trip overall, you won’t regret it.
