A wonderful experience! They picked us up directly from our hotel and then we headed toward the hot air balloon. Once we arrived, they provided an excellent and hearty breakfast. There was a bit of everything, from omelets to fruit, tea, etc. Afterward, we had a safety briefing with Captain Bilal and then we took off into the sky—wow!!! A unique sensation. After nearly an hour of flight, we landed without any issues, where strawberries with chocolate, champagne, and participation medals were waiting for us. Everything was truly beautiful!!! Heartfelt thanks

The trip was well done! The guides were very professional. We were picked up from our hotel in Goreme on time, a filling breakfast was included in the itinerary at the baloon launch palce, and the ride itself was very good, and or baloon pilot was very professional and informative. I would definitely recommend Lord baloons as a reasonably priced hot air baloon experience.

Great experience at a much more affordable price compared to other companies. For about 100 euros each, we had a 50-minute flight in a 16-person hot air balloon. They picked us up from the hotel, offered a good breakfast, and treated us to champagne and strawberries upon landing. Our pilot Bilal was fantastic!

The organization, the punctuality, and the treatment by the guys who took us. But above all, going in a small basket with only 12 people allows you to see everything in 360°. It let us watch the sunrise from above. Spectacular. If I had to find a downside, I would have liked more balloons to take off from that valley.
