I first started my communications with Bulut Brothers even before my arrival to Kusadasi!
From the very first communication everything was flawless. I was kept informed throughout of pick up times , changes , itineraries etc.
We will start with the airport transfer on our arrival. Our driver was waiting right outside the door for us with our name on a board whilst Gökhan in the office kept me updated via WhatsApp. The transfer really was VIP! Private, comfortable and a high quality vehicle even with WiFi. Our driver was so polite , taking our cases we felt like celebrities. We drove past the coach ques and we were happy to be leaving the jet2 transfer behind! We arrived to our hotel a good hour before the others on our flight!
Our first Excursion was the Hot Air balloon to see sunrise over pammukale, with a private tour afterwards. Wow, we were lost for words. We were collected by our driver at 2am who was an absolute gem! He told us a little bit about the plan for the day then let us have a snooze during the 3 hour journey. He made some pit stops and even bought us a coffee.
The hot air balloon was amazing. We took off around 5.30am and was floating over Pammukale thermal pools at sunrise. The experience was breath taking and we recommend anyone to do it if they have the chance.
Landing we were treated to champagne and toasted to the morning.
Our driver then wisked us away to a hotel for breakfast.
After breakfast we made our way to Heiropolis picking up our tour guide en-route. Our private tour guide spend hours taking us around each and every site, explaining and showing us things we would never have seen without a guide. Oh my god, Cleopatra pool is amazing. You must try it.
After our tour we went to another hotel for lunch- nice buffet style with chicken donner.
We were then offered to go to a textile factory but by this time we were tired from our early start so opted to go back to our hotel.
Our driver dutifully obliged again giving us extra bits of information as we made the journey home. Our driver stopped at the side of the road to buy us some strawberries which was not only so friendly but the strawberries were the sweetest I've ever tasted.
Our second adventure with the Bulut brothers was the jeep safari. I have left a separate review for them individually but I will say this is an amazing Excursion! In the Bulut style we were informed of the pick up time and Gökhan was only a WhatsApp away if needed. Get out on the jeep safari is such a good day and brilliant value!
At the very last minute we decided we wanted to do a Sirince tour. I whatsapped Bulut Bros at 10am asking if possible to go the same day, of course they accommodated and sent a car for 12.30pm. Huran Bulut himself came to be our driver for the day what was an amazing time we had. Sirince is a beautiful village, the wine is amazing and there's plenty to taste! Huran offered to show us around Sirince but we opted to discover it ourselves so Huran waiting in his car for approx 3 hours whilst we explored- we were never rushed. Again he was only a WhatsApp away if we needed. After Sirince we went to the zip wire which was amazing. Best 150TL we have spent! 100% recommend! The view from the ziplines are fantastic.
Huran wasn't done there, he then took us up to the mosque, and old turkish bath and even the place where they make all of the ceramics. Telling us about each place as we went. Huran really went over and obove and we got to see so much more of selçuk which we were grateful for.
Our final day trip was the horse safari. Again collection from our hotel was smooth, the trip was perfectly planned and was throughly enjoyable. The views from horseback are breathtaking. This is 100% an Excursion we would like to repeat. LAREN safari Park do an excellent job, there horses are so well looked after and it was a pleasure to spend the morning with them.
The sad part is, we go home tomorrow after what has been an amazing 2 weeks! We still have our final VIP airport transfer but we have no reservations it will be just as flawless.
Bulut Brothers, you are going an amazing job! Thank you for making our holiday so amazing
