Nora our tour guide and the hot air balloons - This is an experience I definitely think anyone should try. It was amazing from start to finish. We got to see the hot air balloons inflate, take an hour ride, explore the area of Hierapolis, wine tasting (however I'm not sure of the wine as I dont drink but heard it was nice), Onyx stone factory (really quick information but then was followed around while I was looking but I did buy a ring) and lunch. It was such a good trip lead by Nora who was informative along the way and kept us up to date with everything. FYI The road journey is a bumpy from Marmaris and it was extremely hot walking around but other than that try it!

Amazing Hot Air Balloon Experience - Absolutely fantastic experience and would recommend to do whilst you're here! €115 for a full day excursion including visiting Pamukkale & Hierapolis, as well as the onyx stone factory and wine tasting experience (wasn't mentioned in the initial itinerary). Our guide, Nora, kept us well informed as well providing us with tidbits of history throughout each part of the experience. We were collected very early from our hotel at 01:35 to make it on time for the sunrise. Once we arrived, we got to watch the hot air balloons being set up and inflated, with opportunity to take plenty of videos and pictures. After the setup, we were off up into the air and what an amazing experience! Watching the sun rise over the mountains was breathtaking, it's just so stunning and very Instagram worthy. Just be aware that if you have mobility issues, climbing into & especially out of the basket, can be quite difficult as upon landing, the hot air balloon is placed onto a truck and you'll need to climb out of the basket & the truck. Also, as it is a hot air balloon, it gets VERY HOT when they use the gas fire so you definitely will not need a jumper/jacket, and I would advise to bring a cooling cloth with you. Once we landed, we were brought back to the initial meeting area where we then were taken to have our breakfast, which was a large Turkish bagel with various condiments to go with (cherry jam, Dairylea style soft cheese, chocolate spread, honey, and butter). We then went to the onyx stone factory and I'll be very frank and honest about this; it was the worst part of the experience. The sales woman spent 1 minute explaining the various types of stones they have before we were shuffled off to the shop where they have extremely expensive knick knacks, and where the sales people they proceeded to follow you around like a second shadow. After this, we then proceeded back to Pamukkale & Hierapolis for self-exploration. Our guide, Nora, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and provide a lot of interesting information, before we were left to our own devices. MAKE SURE TO BRING €30 CASH PER PERSON, FOR ENTRY as this isn't included in the price. We had 2 hours of exploration, and we managed to see the hot springs, the museum and the theatre. I would recommend a full day here to make the most of the entrance fee as there's a lot to see. Also, make sure to bring plenty of water as this isn't provided by the tour company, and an umbrella for shade as it's a vast open area with little shade in the sun. Once we finished here, we were taken to a wine tasting experience, which was a nice respite from the sun. Again, more chances to do some minor shopping for wines and oils after this bit, but nice overall. Finally, we were taken to have the buffet lunch (standard Turkish buffet), before beginning the 3 hour journey back to the hotel. Overall, absolutely 100% would recommend the experience and very worth the price (despite the small blip of the onyx stone factory). It's a must do for you trip to Marmaris as it's not something you get to do every day, especially being from the UK!

great experience worth to stay awake***** - We had an unforgettable experience in Pamukkale thanks to our amazing guide, Sunny. His knowledge about the history and geology of the area was impressive.

Excellent tour With balloons - Beautiful tour with balloons and excellent guide Amir,walked around the pamukkale all liked,the food is delicious 👍

Perfect times - The hot air balloon tour over Pamukkale was absolutely breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of the stunning white terraces from above. The view of the mineral-rich thermal waters and the surrounding landscape was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Pamukkale itself is a natural wonder, with its terraces formed by centuries of mineral deposits, creating a surreal, almost otherworldly sight. Our guide Sunny was exceptional—his knowledge of the area and its history brought the entire experience to life. He made sure we were comfortable, safe, and fully immersed in the beauty around us. Sunny’s energy and passion for Pamukkale made the trip even more enjoyable and memorable. This tour, combined with his excellent guidance, made for an unforgettable day in one of Turkey’s most iconic destinations.

Bright 2in1 tour - Great tour! We really wanted to go ballooning at dawn and go to Pamukkale. Convenient that you can combine everything in one tour) Amir - eye good guide, friendly, answered all our questions!

I believe i can fly - The hot air balloon ride over Pamukkale was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and having Sonny as our guide made it even more unforgettable. Watching the sunrise over the white travertines from above was simply magical. Sonny was incredibly organized, making sure everything ran smoothly from pickup to landing. He shared fascinating facts about the history and geology of Pamukkale with great enthusiasm. His positive attitude and sense of humor kept everyone smiling throughout the tour. You could tell he truly cares about giving guests a memorable experience. I would absolutely recommend this tour — and especially Sonny — to anyone visiting Turkey.

Such a cool experience - Such a cool experience, quite a long day so be prepared for that but otherwise amazing. Sonny was our guide and he was great!

Sensational - Excellent tour and wonderful process before climbing the globe It would be important for them to provide water during the journey as it is a long journey Another issue is coffee charging: the most expensive in the world. But outside that excellent everything and as a plus the c visit to the onyx factory and a small wine tasting, very good, make this tour a very good experience and punctuality in the schedules
