Great price, last minute booking and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Simple WhatsApp... communication, booked, paid deposit, picked up at 5:45am from our hotel and we were the first drop off after, so we were back before 8:30.I was a bit ho-hum about the ballooning but wow, it’s something I’d say ‘you have to do it’ to anyone who comes here.The pilot was great and the driver and team were always there to help people in and out of the basket. Champagne at the end was non-alcoholic. Tasted great and EVERYONE could have it.Really happy with the service and the experience.read more

You can choose from several balloon companies through a Turkish balloon agency. Initially, I was... worried because it wasn't a booking site like getyourguide, but communication via WhatsApp was smooth, and I was able to get a better price for the balloon ride than what my accommodation quoted!*Payment involves a deposit paid by credit card after a provisional booking, with the remaining balance paid locally. (A 10% surcharge is added if you pay the remaining balance by credit card, so cash payment (Turkish Lira, Euro, or US Dollar) is recommended.)read more

We just had the most incredible experience with Hot Air Balloon Goreme! what a truly magical... experience!Gökhan and the whole team were absolutely magnificent, professional, charismatic, funny, and so welcoming. We had such a laugh while taking in the breathtaking views. Floating above Love Valley was simply stunning, and the entire ride was smooth and comfortable, with a wonderfully graceful landing.I would highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about experiencing a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organised. Booking online was super easy, and the team were always at the end of the phone or WhatsApp whenever we needed them.The little finishing touches were lovely too snacks and drinks before take off and we both received a certificate and a glass of bubbles to celebrate at the end.The transfer was right on time, comfortable, and our driver was friendly and helpful throughout.Absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end. 10/10 we couldn’t recommend Hot Air Balloon Goreme highly enough!read more

A truly positive experience from start to finish, from the prompt and timely hotel pickup to the... flight. The pilot was excellent; he skimmed all the chimneys. We flew mainly over the Valley of Love, but from above, you can see the entire area between Goreme and Uchisar. The price is €70 per person, but the price depends on the weather. Two days earlier, it was €130 per person, and the next day, €55.read more
