Unreal experience from start to finish. The balloon ride over Cappadocia was incredible and... something we’ll never forget - the views at sunrise were breathtaking. The customer service was also fantastic. When the forecast changed, they went above and beyond to help us rearrange our flight and get us onto the First Ascent flight. We really appreciated how accommodating they were and responsive on WhatsApp. Would highly recommend!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
