This is a must-do activity in Capadoccia. Royal Balloons was professional, safe, and incredibly organized! It can be tough trying to choose a balloon company for this once in a lifetime experience, but I am so happy we chose Royal!
The booking process was extremely easy with frequent and prompt communication from the company. The flight itself was smooth and Umit, the well-trained pilot, was extremely nice and funny. Our entire group, including the kids (ranging in age from 6 to 16), had a great time.
Royal Balloons picked us up from our hotel at the scheduled time in a comfortable luxury van. We then drove to a nice indoor meeting place, where there was a light buffet breakfast, tables to sit and relax, and bathrooms. After a short time, they drove us to the parachute site and got us situated in the balloon. We didn’t have to do anything- the tour company did it all.
During the flight, the instructor Umit talked to us and answered all of our questions while expertly handling the balloon. He was very experienced and we felt perfectly safe throughout the flight. He also made us laugh (a lot.) Our whole group is still in awe of Umit’s wonderful personality, commitment to safety, and professionalism.
Of course, the view was absolutely gorgeous. One of the most stunning views I’ve ever seen.
At the end of the flight, we landed in a grassy field, where staff members were waiting to receive us and help us out of the balloon. They had set up a cute table with drinks, medals, and chocolate covered strawberries! They were such a great crew and overall it was an amazing experience. Would 100% do this again. Thank you Umit, and thank you Royal Balloon!
