Excursions to Pamukkale from local Turkish firms
Who went to Pamukalle from urban Turkish travel agencies. Parents are now in Turkey and are going to visit this excursion. Everyone knows that the price at the hotel from the representative of the operator is much higher, so there is a desire to go from the city travel agency. How safe is it. I ask you to specifically answer those who drive themselves from a local company, and not give advice on what is safer and more reliable from the operator, this is already clear.

We went to Pammukale in 2007 from locals, tourists from Pegasus rode with us in the same bus, I think this removes all questions !!
It is safe as well as from the operator.

A good "street" Turkish agency is Ginza Travel, there are many of their offices in all the villages of the coast. Guides are Russian-speaking.
For several years now we have simply rented a car and traveled everywhere ourselves, but when we took excursions at the agency for the last time, we noticed that there is the same tour at different prices - with a stop "at the factories" and without a stop. The second ones were more expensive (not by much)

We took excursions from Maxwell Tour. unpretentious. the guide spoke Russian. in any case, you need to discuss all the conditions with the anenism. usually they do not lie - what they promised will be. it is in their interests, if someone remains dissatisfied, they will ring the whole world. we were even dissuaded by the agency from going rafting with a 4-year-old child!

from the operator is not safer and not more reliable than from street workers, but three times more expensive for sure. I've been using their services for 4 years and have no complaints. Russian guide? originally from Russian guides there are only beautiful representatives with a blond mane and an absolutely stupid look. Turkish guide? Ethnic Turks do not work even more original in such a non-prestigious job, only people from the former republics from the Turkic group of languages

a month ago I went to Mira-Kekovo with a street agency. The bus is just super, there are a lot of places, the guide was such that at the end I could not resist, took the microphone and expressed my deep gratitude for such an excursion. All the tourists on the bus were clapping.
After 2 days, I went with my tour operator to Pammukale (it happened, although I did not want to). The tour is just awful. The guide immediately said that we should not touch her, because. she is already very tired of tourists this season. And if we touch her, she will generally shut up and not say a word more. The whole trip, instead of talking about the topic of the tour, she told what a great guide she was and what tours you can still buy (naturally for big money). For half a day, we generally just went shopping, because this is their income, and we were given only 3 hours to Pamukkale itself. And when we went to Mira-Kekova with a street agency, the guide asked: do you want to go shopping? But it's very expensive there. We said no.
And there was not a single (!) Shop, only a very extensive tour. I knew a lot about Turkey, but it was just something.
Conclusion: it all depends on the guide and only on him. And the tour operator's price is higher just to make money.

And further. The guide who was with us in Mira-Kekova used to work for Pegasus. He told how they were specially trained with special phrases to intimidate tourists so that they would not go with street agencies. He said: now I have nothing to fear, I no longer work there and I can tell the truth.

I even have their price list and phone number, but, unfortunately, not in the office. Although, in principle, there is not much difference from whom to buy, it all depends on the guide. There is only info about the agency through which my wife went 2 months ago. This is SER KON TOUR, tel. 00905347629947 Maya. The price for Pamukkale is $39. My wife said that everything is also at a high level. I can write to you about the agency through which I went, in the evening, but not the fact that you will get the same guide. His name is Ensar. He is Turkish, but speaks Russian better than some Russians.

Everyone has the right to choose from whom to buy a tour: on the street or from operators .... a few examples from practice - our tourists went to the yacht with a street agency, but more people were launched on the yacht than she could accept, drowned ... some died . More recently, tourists called us - they had an accident (all the same street agency) - but unfortunately, the operator is not responsible for this ... they called and asked for help. Further, for example, the rafting route, in the street. agencies, it is shorter and lunch is not included (not to mention the starkhovka). Then, DMK, it seems cheaper, but .... you have to pay extra for everything - for drinks on a yacht, for lunch, for entrance tickets, etc. ... I can give a lot of examples ... I work in Turkey.
Choose for yourself - and ... the miser pays twice
