Cappadocia Tours

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)))

Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful experience. We got up very early, but it was well worth it. A 45-minute hot-air balloon ride over the plateaus and valleys of Cappadocia—it’s a shame it didn’t last at least an hour. Excellent service and flawless organization, with staff who were extremely kind and never intrusive. The shuttle service was right on time; they picked us up and dropped us off in front of the hotel before taking us to the launch site, about 60 km away. Breakfast was very light—burek and hot tea—but still very welcome given the freezing temperatures during the night. As soon as we boarded, we received the few necessary instructions for landing, where the rest of the team was waiting for us to make a toast and take the customary photo with the presentation of the certificate. You absolutely must try this if you go to Cappadocia. A+++ Thanks to the entire organization for the wonderful experience. We woke up very early, but it was worth it.

I had a very experienced guide in what he was doing and it was a very good experience, I highly recommend it, the route was very good and I enjoyed a good view .

One of the most important things to do in Capadocia. Our guide and pilot, Söyler, made sure that we will remember with pleasure our trip. Really a professional guide and pilot. The take off and landing was so smooth you feel like you are on a feather. He told us small history about the places we saw from balloon. The experience was amazing.

The tour was informative and easy. We have a knowledgeable tour guide who meticulously explained every details of the area, its history and background. Nice van with perfect heating device that balances the winter cold of the day. The only downside of the tour was the food at lunch time, the soup served were a bit mushy while the rice was a little bit uncooked. The testi kebab served was alright but could have been better.

Derinkuyu Underground City: A fascinating experience. The walk down to the seventh level is a journey in itself and a great workout for your legs. Salime Monastery: An absolutely amazing site. Its unique architecture and landscape genuinely felt like a setting from Star Wars. The Ihlara Valley offered a wonderfully calming walk along the riverbank. For food, the fish casserole was excellent, and I highly recommend the tomato dip if you don't mind a bit of spice. Finally, a special thanks to our guide, Hakan, and our driver, Bilal. They were friendly, resourceful and helpful, truly deserve a 5-star rating.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
