Excellent adventure! - Driver picked us up from our hotel on time. Lots of fun! May be a bit difficult to climb into balloon basket for Somme but the ride is very smooth.

Divine - What a wonderful experience from start to finish!! We were picked up on time and transferred to the take off spot where we watched the hive of activity while balloons were inflated and taking off, we got airborne a little later than most and I was a little cross that everyone else was going up while we were waiting! 🫣 as it happens, they probably do that on purpose because you get to see all the drama and get fantastic pictures, then you climb in and soar up through the balloons, some of which were already descending, and for the end of our flight we travelled along pigeon valley and had it all to ourselves!! It was magical, he was an amazing pilot! I had no idea that there was so much control possible, he even landed on the trailer at the end! No negatives, the whole thing was perfect and everything I could have dreamed it would be! ❤️

Super - It It was superb. The whole team is very experienced and lovely. Safe and pleasant. Really recommend them. Price was 185 pounds for me. But it was definitely worth it. Their pick-up and drop-off were on time.

Worth it. - The experience of flying in the air and witnessing Goreme from above was amazing. I wish there was a little more communication during booking around expectations for the morning of. There was a lot of waiting around for such an early pick up. We came to realize that our flight crew was waiting for the go ahead to fly before we departed to the launch place, however we did not know this in the moment and it left us with a feeling of “why did we leave so early if all we are doing is waiting”, Again, it would have helped us to understand what we were doing if it was presented in the welcome email.

Indispensable experience - It is very worth it and was economical compared to other companies. We weren’t sure about it because we get a little vertigo heights, but we were encouraged and it was the best decision we made.

One of the most magical and unique experiences of my life! - Having been cancelled 3 times due to weather, we managed to get airborne on our last morning in Cappadocia!!! It was absolutely magical to see so many balloons (~100) in the air around us - all hovering over the spectacular landscape of the Cappadocia's fairy chimneys and valleys. The staff were extremely well trained and very professional. We felt totally safe, they had it all under control. The basket was full (~20pers) but you can see everything as the pilot turns in all directions. We went very low in the valleys and could almost touch the rocks! Amazinng! and we went high too and could see the tall mountains in the distance. Really special and highly worth the not inconsiderable cost! The office staff were fantastic at keeping in touch and responding to my queries - really appreciated.

Cappadoccia Trip - Göreme is a district of the Nevşehir Province in Turkey. After the eruption of Mount Erciyes about 2.6 million years ago, ash and lava formed soft rocks in the Cappadocia region, covering an area of about 20,000 square kilometres . The softer rock was eroded by wind and water, leaving the hard cap rock on top of pillars, forming the present-day fairy chimneys. People of Göreme, at the heart of the Cappadocia region, realized that these soft rocks could be easily carved out to form houses, churches, and monasteries. These Christian sanctuaries contain many examples of Byzantine art from the post-iconoclastic period. These frescoes are a unique artistic achievement from this period. In the 4th century, small anchorite communities began to form in the region, acting on the instruction of Saint Basil of Caesarea. They carved cells in the soft rock. New churches were dug into the rocks, and they were richly decorated with colourful frescoes. Visited these few places - Avanos, Uchisar, Goreme, Cavusin and Nevsehir. Cappadocia, in Türkiye’s Central Anatolia region, is famous for 2 industries - agriculture and tourism. Agriculture covers farming and livestock breeding. Tourism is popular because in Cappadocia region,it has its ancient cave dwellings, rock-hewn buildings, and entire underground cities. Its lunar-like valleys are dotted by otherworldly rock formations, known as “fairy chimneys,” that have been created by volcanic ash and lava flows and sculpted by wind and water erosion over millions of years.
