This experience felt more like a tourist cash grab than a well-run tour. We had booked the package that included a hot air balloon ride. The day started with a long and uncomfortable four-hour drive. The driver was frequently on his phone and even ran a red light at one point, which didn’t inspire much confidence. The balloon ride itself lasted about 30 minutes and was genuinely enjoyable. After that, we were taken to a shop where we spent an hour, clearly intended for us to buy things. Then followed another four-hour return trip.

I wouldn’t recommend this tour. The journey each way took nearly five hours on an overcrowded minibus with barely any legroom and only one restroom stop. Once we finally arrived, we spent most of our time waiting in a souvenir shop they forced us into. The balloon ride was decent, but the rushed visit to Pamukkale felt more like a quick photo op than a proper tour.

Helpful? Yes

This was the worst trip I have ever taken. The driver was constantly on his phone. We arrived exhausted, only to discover that the guide had mistimed the timing and we only had 30 minutes at the travertine pools. To top it all off, lunch was served late in a cramped cafeteria.
