Tranquil & Mesmerising an absolute must !

Although afraid of heights, I decided to give this ago. Honestly, it was one of the most amazing experiences, tranquil and mesmerising. The pilot was cheerful and very professional and made us feel at complete ease. He also took photos and video which I highly recommend as a memory of your experience. Went with my partner and both of us were blown away ( pardon the pun! 😂 10/10 for sure !!!

Amazing hot air balloon. Terrible sales pitches

The hot air balloon was amazing, Pamukkale was good though you have to pay €30 separately for the ticket. Breakfast ok, pretsal with jam, honey, butter, chocolate spread and cheese. Lunch buffet was good. This alone would make take this a 4*+ trip. It would be over 5* for the balloon alone. That was an amazing experience The issue was that over 1.5 hours of the trip was spend in sales pitch locations, first was a Onxys shop and second was an oil shop. This was done under the guise of learning something cool about nature and a wine tasting. For how expencive this experience is, I don't expect to have my time wasted in sales pitched.

Miscommunication

Do not use this company they will take your money and provide nothing. Company is Payless Turizm Tour was supposed to start at 2am. Everything had been done by email A change was made but I was informed by WhatsApp and the pickup became 1am WiFi here is intermittent but I made sure I checked emails for any changes. I didn't check WhatsApp because it's not something I use so obviously I missed it. The company won't accept any responsibility and refuse to offer alternative date or refund. I would have happily taken a different date but they won't engage. Not answering the phone or WhatsApp massages with anything other than a flat no. This could still be resolved if it is I'll amend this review
