The balloon flight was a dream come true, and Pamukkale is truly unique. The only reason for 4 stars is that we didn’t have as much time as I’d have liked to explore the ancient ruins. Still, a fantastic experience overall

While the balloon flight was beautiful, the tour felt a bit rushed. We had very limited time to enjoy Pamukkale’s pools, and the transfer vehicle could have been more comfortable. It was good, but not exceptional.
