Really great tour overall. The whole team was professional and on point. Our pilot Ihsan made the flight even better with his friendly and fun attitude. Everything was well planned, and the balloon ride felt so smooth it was like we were just gliding through the air.

Everything went smoothly, from the hotel pickup to the balloon landing. The staff explained everything clearly before the flight. The scenery was stunning with lots of balloons in the sky, and the views were really impressive. The landing was gentle, and the small champagne celebration at the end was a fun extra. The only slightly uncomfortable part was when tips were mentioned, but aside from that, I’d definitely recommend this experience.

It was a beautiful experience. I just think it would have been even better if we had taken off a bit earlier, before sunrise instead of right at dawn you miss some of the amazing early sky colors that way.

The welcome we got at the start was really warm, and the toast at the end of the balloon ride was a nice touch. The only downside was that we missed seeing the sunrise while we were up in the balloon.

It would have been better if the guide pointed out what we were seeing and gave us a bit more background. A little explanation would have made the experience more complete.

The hot air balloon ride was an unforgettable experience. We were picked up from our hotel in Avanos exactly on time. Watching the setup of the balloons was also really interesting. The only downside was that we didn’t get to enjoy a wide panoramic view, and our guide didn’t take us as high as some of the other balloons. After landing, they served us sparkling wine and sweets, and gave us flight certificates, which was a nice touch. We were dropped back at the hotel at 8:00.

Our driver showed up 40 minutes late, which was a bit frustrating, especially considering the price of the tour. Still, once things got going, the activity itself was really enjoyable. The team was friendly, and the balloon pilot was clearly very skilled, we had a very smooth landing. Despite the delay and cost, this is definitely one of those must-do experiences if you're in Cappadocia.

We had a lovely hot air balloon ride through a quieter, less crowded valley, which also came at a more reasonable price. It’s a great option for families our 6 year old son joined us and absolutely loved it!

Just a heads up, this isn't the well-known Göreme balloon ride. It takes place in Soganli Valley, which is quite a distance from Göreme, and there were only about 13 balloons in the sky. On top of that, our return transfer was delayed by an hour, which made us miss our next tour that was supposed to begin at 10 AM.
