Overall the tour was great and the tour guide very knowledgeable. The hotel in Pamukkale was a let down. A poorly managed hotel. The guide would have done well to remember that some of the group were quite old and not as agile or fast on their feet as others, and not relied on some of us on the tour to look out for those people while he was paying attention to the younger, single women in the group.Show more
