The stated total duration is 10–11 hours. The balloon portion takes around 3 hours and includes an approximately 60-minute flight.

Does the tour take place in Pamukkale or Cappadocia?
Almost the entire description concerns Cappadocia, although the URL and one isolated stop mention Pamukkale. Viator should clarify this discrepancy before booking.
