I agree with all the positive things people say, it is a must do, once in a lifetime experience. And so safe...Although very windy the day we left, indeed the balloon had to be inflated twice before getting off, the pilot was wonderful and even though I am generally horrible in airplanes, I was totally relaxed and reassured and just...

This was indeed magical, not only rising above the spectacular scenery at sunrise, it's made even more fascinating doing it with 50 or so other balloons. Well worth it. But even if you can't take the trip, climb the SE hill in Goreme about 6am and watch - it's quite amazing. More

This is an amazing experience and I recommend it to every traveler who will be visiting Cappadoccia region. It is so-called "Contour Ballooning" it is exciting and worth every penny! More

I would highly recommend this activity if you are going to be in the area. The whole experience is wonderful (you even get a mimosa @ the end and a completion diploma). I was in awe the whole time. You are up in the air before sunrise with dozens of other hot air balloons and just seem to glide and... More

A must do activity when you visit Goreme. Our hotel gave us an early breakfast and a car picked us up from right outside our hotel and took us to the main office where we put into groups and piled back in to the vans. On arrival at the "take off" place we were able to watch and help with... More

The balloon hide in Cappadocia was one of the greatest experiences of our lives. And we certainly chose the best company to do that. They took us in our hotel, in Urgup, to go to Goreme at 5 a.m. When we entered in the shuttle, they gave us an identification with a code. A very nice breakfast was served in... More

Well, in reality, I was not lonely but floated over the breath-taking landscape of Cappadochia in a hot-air balloon. At dawn everything is enchanted : the fairy chimneys. the crisp air of an October morning. the crystal-clear sky illuminated by a rising sun. The price (150 euros) per person is a bit high but the experience is not to be... More

The company picked me up from the hotel at 5 am. We drove to their office, where I paid, $210 usd, and was served a light breakfast. This was followed by a short drive to the departure area, where I witnessed dozens of baloons under preparation. The flight lasted about one hour. Initially we went very hugh, then descended to...

Hot air balloon is something that should be done at least once in your life time. We were glad we experienced this in Cappadocia. Cappadocia is a great place to do this for couple of reasons: 1) Great unique view of the rock formations/valleys/hills. 2) There are literally at least 30 other balloons in the air which makes the view/experience...
