A very pleasant experience, well organised for a reasonable price. We liked especially the balloon ride, which was lots of fun. The temples we visited were amazing and the guide always provided a brief introduction and gave us lots of free time for ourselves to explore and take pictures. However, it would have been nice to have more insights from the guide about each temple and not just a short 10 minutes intro. The cruise boat was kind of old and they didn’t have a double bed so we had to merge two single ones together, which was not very comfy. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and welcoming and the food was quite nice.

This was easily the most disappointing part of our trip. The cruise is absolutely not 5-star by any standard—everything felt cheap, chaotic, and poorly managed. Our guide, Mustafa, was rude, unhelpful, and clearly didn’t care about our experience. After three days together, he still couldn’t remember we were part of his group, his English wasn’t up to scratch, and he provided zero useful information. He made us feel like a burden rather than welcomed guests. The itinerary wasn’t followed properly, and no compensation was offered for the hot air balloon being cancelled last minute. Would not recommend this experience unless serious improvements are made.
