Hot Air Balloon Rides in Istanbul

It was a beautiful experience. The valley was so calm and the view amazing. Great pilot and the landing was perfect. I highly recommend.

I really, really, really enjoyed the tour. They picked us up right on time. Many similar tours have 28 participants, but this one was advertised for up to 16, and there were actually only 12—it was very comfortable, and no one got in anyone else’s way. Before the flight, we were served gözleme with tea. We watched the balloons being inflated—that was also very interesting. The flight started through the gorge with a story about the ancient city; 12 balloons took off almost simultaneously, flying close to the terrain—a unique experience full of excitement and photo opportunities. Then we ascended to an altitude of about 1,000 meters; the gorge was visible from above, and some of the surrounding mountains were even covered in snow. All of this took place at dawn, just as described in the tour itinerary. After landing, we stayed in the baskets while they were loaded onto a trailer for transport, and they showed us how they deflate the balloon. Then everyone was given a personalized certificate of participation in the flight, and we all drank non-alcoholic champagne. We were dropped off at our hotels. Everything was top-notch—vivid emotions and memories! Thank you so much)))

An experience I would repeat without hesitation. Feeling the breeze as you take off in the hot-air balloon during the gorgeous Cappadocia sunrise, with hundreds of balloons lifting off almost in unison as the first rays of sunlight appear and reveal this lovely city's beautiful landscape, is truly unforgettable. Thanks to Osman and the whole team. Regards.

It was an extraordinary experience. Unique in the world. I want to thank Abdulah, our pilot, and his crew for an unforgettable trip @marceloenviaje

The pickup was unfortunately a bit chaotic - the bus arrived about half an hour late and the drive was quite long. But the hot air balloon ride itself was absolutely breathtaking 😍 The view was unforgettable, and I felt safe the entire time. The driver and his crew were also extremely friendly and created a great atmosphere throughout the experience. Overall, definitely an experience worth doing!
