It was a wonderful experience. In the morning, we were picked up at the hotel and went to a cafe-like place for breakfast. After that, we drove to the venue where the balloon was to fly, and the balloon flew at sunrise. The guide steered it steadily, so it wasn't scary even though it was at a high altitude. The balloon went up and down during the flight, but it went lower than I expected, near the rock walls, so it was nice to be able to see the unique terrain of Cappadocia up close. After the balloon experience, we had a toast and received a certificate. The tip is placed in a box prepared by the balloon company at the right time, so there is no need to wait for the right timing. The scenery was more beautiful than I expected, and the plan I applied for was also fulfilling. This is a recommended activity.

We really enjoyed this trip! We had an amazing experience! Our guide Eda was amazing! She was so nice and explained all the places we visited very well. I would highly recommend doing this tour in summer tho. In winter is great but most places are very slippery due to the ice on the floor. But I can imagine how great it might be in summer! It was amazing! I loved it!!

The trip was great, very safe, and explained every area. The time spent was enough to enjoy this unbelievable experience. The only issue I had was, the driver didn’t drop me in front of my hotel instead a 6 minutes walk. I didn’t appreciate it.
