Shahim was an outstanding tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Pamukkale and offered great suggestions for other activities. He was kind, patient, and provided clear guidance to the group. As for the food, it could use some improvement— it was cold, and there wasn’t much variety in the meat options. Also, a bit more time to explore Pamukkale would be appreciated, as 3 hours felt a bit short, especially if you want to visit Cleopatra's Pool. Overall, it was a trip we’d happily do again.

I have a few pros and cons about the excursion. The price is great for the entire day, including the balloon ride and lunch. The guide was also very friendly, which was nice. However, my day started poorly as I had to wait alone for almost 45 minutes at night because the driver was very late. Since I was traveling solo and it was very dark, I had to walk for a few minutes from my hotel in the old town. I would have appreciated more punctuality. Also, I had to wait 6 hours before we stopped for a bathroom break, which was tough. Keep in mind that there are no stops until after the balloon ride. Another downside was the sales pitches during some parts of the trip, which I didn’t enjoy. On the positive side, the lunch was delicious, although drinks weren’t included, but that wasn’t a big deal. The entrance fee to Hierapolis was quite expensive. While the site is large, the terraces and swimming pools were mostly dry and very crowded.

Helpful? Yes

A very enjoyable excursion from start to finish! You don’t need to worry about planning, as the transfer picks you up directly from your hotel (or nearby). Mete was a super friendly guide, full of knowledge, and eager to share it with us. We had a great time throughout the visit. The tour covers everything—exploring the impressive ruins of Hierapolis and the stunning beauty of Pamukkale, perfect for photos. By the end of the day, everyone was happy. A big thanks to Mete and the driving team!

Biggest tourist rip-off ???????????????? first you wait for others for an hour until they fly in a balloon ???????? then they drive into a shop buy buy buy ???????????? So the price doesn't include anything, if you want to swim it's 10 € ????‍♂️ if you want to go in and look at everything it's 40 € ???? everything's extra. You're not allowed to take photos in the water if you call a photographer it's 100 € ???? unfortunately this only applies to women in Instagram who take photos, the best example is on TikTok, Instagram vs reality. The food is ok, buffet you can get whatever you want but the drinks are a rip-off again ???????? #touristtrap #overpriced #disappointed #instagramvsreality

The experience was amazing! ✨ The flight lasted about 30 minutes, and there were no issues. The height wasn’t scary at all. The trip was definitely worth it, even though not all the pools in Pamukkale were full. Our hot air balloon didn’t get as close as some others, but the photos speak for themselves. After the flight, we visited a pottery and jewelry shop, which felt more commercial than anything else. Our guide, Ilayda Öykü, offered a visit to Cleopatra's Pool (30€ extra). I chose to head straight back to my hotel with others, while some of my group went to the pool.

Helpful? Yes

The van ride to Pamukkale was a bit uncomfortable, and the journey felt quite long. Additionally, the driver drove very fast. However, the balloon flight and the guide were excellent. It's worth mentioning that we left our backpack with our wallet in the van while we were flying, and when we returned, some money was missing from the wallet…

It was a wonderful experience for me and my two boys, aged 6 and 9. I highly recommend it! We had plenty of time to explore everything at our own pace.

Overall, it was a great experience, and everything was on time. The guide was very helpful with everything. I noticed some comments mentioning that other guides pressured people to buy things at the stops, but I didn’t experience that. Our guide was polite, kind, and never asked us to purchase anything. So, don’t let those comments hold you back—go ahead and enjoy the trip and the balloon ride, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

We didn’t get to see Pamukkale at all! The balloon was late, so we missed the sunrise. Due to the winds, we ended up flying over a horse farm instead. It was really disappointing, especially since other balloons took off on time and flew over the scenic spots.

I thought the pickup was on time, and Gözde was really nice. Areas for improvement: The activity cost should’ve included the ticket to Pamukkale. Also, the transportation was in a van, and at times, especially on the way back in the heat, the van was too hot. With 12 people in the van, the A/C should definitely be used.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable hot air balloon experience, flying with Kadir in Pamukkale is a must! From start to finish, the journey was smooth, breathtaking, and truly magical. Kadir is an excellent pilot—knowledgeable, friendly, and always focused on safety. The views of Pamukkale’s white terraces and the surrounding landscape at dawn were mesmerizing, and floating through the sky was a peaceful, otherworldly experience. Kadir’s insights into the region’s history and geography added so much depth to the beauty we were witnessing. Watching the sunrise from the balloon was absolutely stunning, and it was the perfect way to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The whole experience felt incredibly personal and well-organized. If you're in Pamukkale, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you can't miss!

Yesterday, we had an incredible day on a hot air balloon trip in Pamukkale. Our guide, Apo, is a wonderful young guy who took us through the history of Pamukkale and helped us make the most of our 3 hours there, ensuring we had enough time to see everything. The highlight of the day was definitely the balloon flight. Seeing Pamukkale from the air and the sensation of flying was truly my best experience so far. It’s something you absolutely shouldn’t miss!

One of the best experiences in Turkey, I totally recommend it, then you can take the Pamukkale excursion, it costs 30 euros but it's worth it and then the thermal bath is great because you come out feeling like new and I still remember it so for 10 euros more it's worth it,

We highly recommend Gozde s a guide and the whole experience as a whole. Please book it, you won't regret it.

Helpful? Yes

The balloon experience was incredible. However, we found the communication with the guide to be lacking, and we didn’t appreciate having to pay a fee in advance to the guide (who could have easily kept the money ????), especially since the fee wasn’t mentioned upfront. We also had to switch buses several times, and there was constant pressure for tips. For a trip that costs a lot and takes up so many hours, they could have at least provided some water, but there was none. In Pamukkale, apart from the beautiful thermal pools, everything else has an extra charge, and you can’t even rent a locker unless you pay for the Cleopatra pool. The included lunch didn’t even come with a single bottle of water. Maybe this is common in the country, as it happened on all the tours, but it was a first for me. Since this tour requires waking up at 1 AM and can leave you sleep-deprived, it would’ve been nice if they’d made it a little more enjoyable. The 3 stars are really just for the balloon ride.

Helpful? Yes

The hot air balloon experience was amazing. However, the tour guide kept mentioning we’d need to pay €30 to enter Pamukkale and another €10 for the Cleopatra Antique Pool, which would have been useful to know in advance. He also rushed us throughout the tour, saying it was to ensure we’d return on time so he could get home early. It would’ve been helpful to know that the video of the experience would have an extra cost. The lunch was average, and the cost of drinks felt overpriced. The van seats were cramped as they prioritized aesthetics over comfort, reducing window seat space. The guide promised a restroom break on the way back, but they didn’t stop and didn’t check if anyone needed to use the restroom. Additionally, they made an unnecessary stop at an Onyx factory, trying to get us to buy things, which cut into our time to properly explore Pamukkale.

Helpful? Yes

The balloon trip itself was incredibly well-organized, and the pilot, Ömar, was a fantastic entertainer, making it a truly memorable experience. However, I expected the "certificates" to be more personalized, considering they had all the passenger details in advance. The transfer, on the other hand, was less impressive. While the bus had a modern and fancy interior, the air conditioning was clearly inadequate, and the bus was uncomfortably overheated throughout the trip. As for the visit to the Pamukkale fields, the guide framed it as a “voluntary option,” but it really felt like a paid necessity. If you opted out, you were left in a rundown village for hours, with the promise of a pickup 4 hours later.

The hot air balloon experience was magnificent! Our flight lasted an hour, which is longer than the usual 45 minutes. The journey was long and exhausting, but absolutely worth it. The entrance to Pamukkale/Hierapolis is €30, and the landscape was stunning. We had 3 hours of free time, though it would have been great if the guide was with us during that time to provide more information.

The trip was a success, and we opted for the balloon flight. Keep in mind that the departure is around 1:00-1:30 AM. There are additional fees of €30 for entrance to Pamukkale and Hierapolis, and 340 TRY for access to Cleopatra's Pool. Abby was a great guide, though she could have shared more details about the theater or travertines in Pamukkale. I highly recommend the balloon ride experience!

The flight was disappointing: the balloon had several tears and looked unappealing and intimidating. At the end of the trip, the basket struggled to be loaded onto the trailer for a long time and nearly tipped over with us inside. The towing process also took much longer than expected. These issues really took away from the overall experience.

The trip was fantastic. We opted for a private transfer and were welcomed by a lovely woman named Oznur, who accompanied us throughout the tour. She showed us the sights that interested us most and shared insights about life in Turkey. Thank you, Oznur, for such an engaging and informative experience! We highly recommend her as a personal driver. And of course, the hot air balloon ride is a must-do!

The trip started very early at 1:40 AM, and the journey took about 4 hours. If you're looking to catch a beautiful sunrise, it's definitely worth it. The guide was excellent, but do keep in mind that you'll need to pay an additional €30 to enter Hierapolis. Lunch was decent, but not extraordinary.

The journey is made convenient with pick-up close to the hotel. The hot air balloon ride is an incredible experience.

Overall, it's a great value for the money.

I'm sorry to hear that your experience didn't live up to expectations. It can be frustrating when things don't go as planned, especially when you were hoping for a particular view and experience. It's unfortunate that the location for balloon watching wasn't as advertised and that the guide didn't provide the level of support you expected. It also sounds like the breakfast situation left a lot to be desired. Still, I'm glad to hear that despite the setbacks, Pamukkale's beauty made up for some of the disappointment.

The drive is about three hours each way, but there are stops along the way (breakfast not included). A couple of things we didn't like: - The €30 entrance fee for Hierapolis (1050TL) should be more clearly stated and paid in cash. - Swimming costs an additional 200TL each. - The info should mention to bring swimwear, as most of the group didn’t know and would’ve loved to swim. - The wine stop felt unnecessary; we'd have preferred more time at Hierapolis.

The balloon ride was nice, and the entry fee for Pamukkale and Hierapolis was €30, collected after the balloon ride. It was definitely worth the visit, with plenty of free time to explore. The driver made regular stops for breaks, and lunch was fantastic with a superb buffet. Ahmet also took us to try local items like wine, sauce, and tea, which was a great experience.

We had a great day with the group and our guide Ahmet. However, it was a bit disappointing that we were only informed about the €30 entrance fee to Pamukkale at the last minute. It would have been helpful to know about this beforehand so we could plan accordingly. That said, the landscape was stunning, and it's definitely an experience worth having at least once in a lifetime.

It was a great experience with Ahmet as our guide. We visited many places in one day, and we even got an unexpected wine tasting, which was a nice bonus. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is due to some hidden fees. I expected the only extra cost to be the balloon ride, so I’d recommend including all additional fees in the tour description to avoid surprises for future guests.

Helpful? Yes

The balloon flight was a truly unique experience, and the ancient city of Hierapolis was also fascinating. I’d recommend bringing a swimsuit if you plan to swim in Cleopatra’s Pool. Our guide, Ahmet, shared some captivating stories about the city’s history. Highly recommended!

Overall, it was a fantastic day. Our guide Ahmet and driver Engin were both friendly and accommodating, keeping their energy up throughout the long day. The only letdown was the hot air balloon ride, which was outsourced to another company. Most of the flight was over farmland, with just a brief view of the white terraces and none of Hierapolis, even though we saw other balloons in those areas. It was still beautiful, but not the experience I was hoping for. That said, the rest of the day was great, and much more efficient and relaxing than doing everything on your own.

Such an amazing experience. Apo was an amazing tour guide!

Helpful? Yes

The excursion with Apo was great! Just a heads up, it's an early start, so be sure to dress warmly (you can take layers off later). The view from the hot air balloon was stunning. However, keep in mind that the entrance fee for Pamukkale/Hierapolis and Cleopatra’s Pool are not included in the price. We had three hours to explore the main sites, which was enough for me. Overall, it was a beautiful day filled with unforgettable memories!

We also enjoyed the meal at the end, which was delicious and great value for the money. Our guide, Apo, was very kind and helpful, providing detailed explanations throughout the day. He even offered us the chance to swim in Cleopatra’s Pool! Overall, it was an amazing experience!

The transportation from our hotel to the activity location was excellent, and Apo took great care of us! We absolutely loved the hot air balloon ride—it was amazing and a huge item checked off my bucket list. We watched the sunrise at 8 am, then visited Hierapolis, where we saw Cleopatra's Pool and the remains of a standing colosseum. Afterward, we enjoyed a lovely lunch at a restaurant with a delicious open buffet included in the price. Overall, we highly recommend this trip! It’s a fantastic day filled with unforgettable experiences! ????

Although the hot air balloon ride was unfortunately canceled (which was definitely disappointing), our guide, Nurade, made sure we still had an amazing time! She was enthusiastic, cheerful, and shared lots of interesting information. As a thoughtful gesture for missing the balloon ride, she even gave each of us a mini treat. The Pamukkale travertines were absolutely breathtaking—definitely a must-see destination!

We were picked up promptly from our hotel, with our driver arriving early. As the balloon flight was for sunrise, be ready for an early pickup to get there on time, ours was 4am. The private travel was smooth and took 3 hours, with our driver allowing us for stops along the way. The views from the balloon was amazing - it was an unforgettable experience. We had some free time to walk around Pamukkale to explore the beautiful ancient city and thermal pools. The lunch buffet was included and there was a variety to choose from! All in all a wonderful and experience and thank you to our driver!

It was a fantastic way to celebrate my birthday! For the price, we got to go hot air ballooning at sunrise, swim in the natural warm waters, and enjoy lunch at a 5-star restaurant, all with transport to and from our hotel. Pamukkale is absolutely stunning. Our guide, Osman, was amazing—super friendly and even took photos of us in the baths for free, so I have lasting memories of the day.

Balloon ride and local tour

I had an amazing day! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Communication before departure was spot on, the driver was on time, and the trip went smoothly. Once we arrived, our guide was very friendly. Although he spoke only French, he used Google Translate to help us out. The hot air balloon ride was incredible, and the visit, along with the free time at Hierapolis, was fantastic. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. I highly recommend this—1000%! Well done to everyone!

Great communication with Mete! Although my hotel was outside the usual pickup area, they made special arrangements for us. The minibus was spotless and very comfortable. The balloon ride was amazing, with Harun as our pilot—he was fun and skilled! The ride was shorter than usual due to wind conditions, but that’s no one’s fault. Afterward, we had a tour with Suleiman around Hierapolis, Cleopatra’s pool, and the white terraces, plus free time to swim and explore. We made a few stops at gift shops (onyx, wine, etc.), then enjoyed a buffet lunch. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it. Just keep in mind it’s a full day, especially with the early pickup and sunrise balloon ride—so plan ahead!

The trip was amazing! We didn’t hear from them the day before, but after reaching out on WhatsApp, they got back to us and started coordinating. The pick-up went smoothly, and since it was just the two of us, we were able to sleep comfortably. The driver made several stops for toilet breaks. Upon arrival, there was a bit of confusion about where to go and which group to join, but the organizer took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. We prefer more independent trips, so the organizer arranged everything privately for us, which worked out great. Although we might have confused him a bit, he still made sure we had a wonderful experience. The trip was well-organized, and we just did everything as a pair. I highly recommend this tour—it was one of our best experiences from GetYourGuide, and we loved it. Just note that the entry fee for Pamukkale is 700 TL and the antique pool is 250 TL, but these are optional extras.
