Cost in all was £490 I’m yet to get my refund . One man said it was because of the weather another said not enough people had booked to make it worth their while. Terrible service, unpredictable as to whether they will show up or let u know in plenty of time of cancellation. Never book book this balloon ride you could be very disappointed.”

“The guide was super friendly, helpful and informative. The bus was very comfortable so the long journey didn’t feel bad at all. The tour inside was really interesting and the place was super beautiful. I felt like a little extra time to actually see sunset would have made this trip everything we dreamed of but apart from that we managed to see and do everything within the free time. The dinner was ok, but they didn’t put on the buffet so there was not as much food as I was expecting. Overall it is still worth the experience.”

“Hi - a couple of points 1. They had too many passengers on the coach and took about an hour to decide who should get off and catch an alternative coach - delayed setting off from Marmaris 2. ⁠also meant that one of the two guides had to sit by me - all he did was go to sleep - put his seat into the passanger behind and coughing all the time 3. ⁠I don’t think the English of both tour guides was brilliant considering it was an English speaking tour (particularly the man) 4. The initial delay meant that we had less time than forecast at the destination 5.…”
