Our driver, picked us up right on time and took us to all the key spots the balloon launch area before sunrise, the Welcome Göreme sign, and a beautiful hill with a view of the balloons flying over the valley and sunrise in the background. The car was a bit old and dusty, and communication was limited since the driver only spoke a little English, but he was still helpful and made sure we had a good time. We managed to get some amazing photos and really enjoyed the overall experience!

This was a really interesting experience. You get to see the hot air balloons being prepared and taking off, then follow them from different viewpoints as they float over the valleys. It’s relaxed, no stress, and a great way to enjoy the scene without actually going up in a balloon. I really enjoyed it
