The hot-air balloon flight was pleasant but I think it's a shame to advertise a breakfast when there really isn't one - it's a snack, it would be more honest to say that.Pratik

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.Marta
