“The museum was nice, the sights were great. The walk up the mountain was long and tiring. Our guide was quick on his feet. We spent 3 hours at the main attraction which was more than enough time. Not sure about others, but my feet killed me. The water pools were nice to look at, the stones to walk over really hurt your feet though, no shoes or socks allowed at the pools. The main pools are closed. But there are pools available to go into, but no swimming. Overall, 3-4 hour bus trip from Antalya there. 4 hours spent there (including walking there and back) then a lunch, then…”

“Let me start by saying, if you see any reviews claiming “this is the best tour,” they’re probably fake! This was definitely not the best, but let’s dive into the details. We were picked up from our hotel on time, which was a great start. Then, we were transferred to another van at a meeting point where the tour guide introduced herself, and we headed toward the hot air balloon site. The balloon ride itself was incredible—worth every penny and honestly the highlight of the entire tour. If the experience had ended there, I’d give it an easy 4.5 stars. But, unfortunately, it didn’t. After we landed, the hot air…”

She was amazing with both the older folk as well as our 7 yr old. Well organised and great value for money.”
