“We booked the hot air balloon sunrise trip for our first morning in Cappadocia. However the weather condition wasn’t allowed us to fly. We waited 3 days finally the government allowed the hot air balloon to go in the sky! Our schedules were rearranged 3 times and we were lucky enough to catch the flight on our last day in Cappadocia. The flight was totally amazing and it’s a must do thing in Cappadocia. The morning light breakfast and after flight toast were nicely arranged. This activity is highly recommended! The pilot and guide were awesome! Great job!”

The pilot showed incredible skills flying us through the valley. We did not give a 5 star rating as the ride only lasted for 35 minutes, not the hour we hoped for and then once we landed the crew did not communicate clearly what was happening.”
