Ein unvergesslicher Familientag – unsere Kinder waren begeistert, barfuß über die weißen Terrassen zu laufen, und Hierapolis hat selbst die Kleinsten in den Bann gezogen.
Der Reiseleiter war sehr gut, hätte aber ruhig noch etwas mehr auf die Kinder eingehen können.
Als Alleinreisender aus Deutschland war ich froh, mich einer organisierten Gruppe anzuschließen – unser englischsprachiger Guide war kompetent, humorvoll und hat die Geschichte von Hierapolis wirklich lebendig gemacht. Die weißen Travertinterrassen und das Amphitheater haben mich schlichtweg sprachlos gelassen.
Das Mittagsbuffet war in Ordnung, aber für den Preis hätte ich mir etwas mehr Qualität erhofft.
Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie unseren Guide und die Stätte so genossen haben. Ihren Hinweis zum Buffet nehmen wir gerne mit – wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, alle Aspekte der Tour zu verbessern. Herzliche Grüße, Book From Locals
