Exceptional kindness from the entire team, dedicated to providing us with this unique family experience! Away from the traffic near Goreme, there were only a few hot-air balloons, so the spirit was authentic and the team attentive: the incredible kindness of our driver with our 6-year-old, a passionate and brilliant pilot, guaranteed thrills, peace and gentleness in this breathtaking landscape, where the intimacy allows you to contemplate serenely and savor every second. We recommend a thousand times over to get away from Goreme to appreciate this authentic Cappadocia, even if you have to get up 1 hour earlier to get there, the experience is truly extraordinary.

An amazing experience, I would get up at 4/5 in the morning every day or to do it again 😄 The team super friendly and professional, we saw the whole process of preparing the balloon and the trip itself was an unforgettable experience with unparalleled views and scenery. The pilot talked to us about what he was doing to make us feel safe at all times. The breakfast before and the toast after were also a great detail. I recommend it 100% and I would definitely do it again.

Unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly organized, from the friendly and helpful staff to the safe and smooth flight. Flying over the landscapes at sunrise was magical: unique colors and breathtaking views. The soft landing and the little toast at the end made it even more special. Absolutely recommended!

    Great service and always on time. The whole team was incredible and it's such an unforgettable experience. It's totally worth it as the Sofa li valley is the second best location to fly in Cappadoccia. We felt always safe and the crew was very professional
