This was easily one of the best experiences I’ve had in Turkey! The tour company sent detailed information beforehand, which was super helpful. I was picked up early from my hotel, with one quick stop to collect others. The driver/guide was incredibly friendly and kept us informed about the schedule. We got up close to the hot air balloons and captured some amazing shots, then headed to a higher vantage point for stunning panoramic views. The driver also took fantastic photos and videos for me, allowing plenty of time at both locations. A huge thank you for such an unforgettable experience! ????

This booking was perfect exactly what I wanted: watching the balloons take off. My driver picked me up from my hotel and took me to see the initial takeoff, then to various viewpoints for photos. He even kindly took photos of me and stopped to watch the balloons land again. Despite booking last minute, I got a quick confirmation. The region is stunning, and watching the takeoff is the next best thing to being on a balloon!
Helpful? Yes
The overall experience was great! The only area for improvement was that the guide didn’t speak English, so we didn’t receive instructions on how long we’d stay or where to meet. That said, it wasn’t a major issue and didn’t take away from the experience.

Helpful? Yes
Our driver, Faik, picked us up from the hotel and took us to three spots: the hot air balloon takeoff site before sunrise, the "Welcome to Göreme" photo spot, and a hill with a stunning view of the balloons flying against a beautiful sunrise backdrop. The car was an older sedan and a bit dusty, and the driver spoke limited English but was still very helpful throughout the trip.

Spontan haben wir uns gestern Abend für diese Tour entschieden, da das Angebot und der Preis unseres Reiseanbieters uns nicht zusagten. Und es war die beste Entscheidung überhaupt! Trotz der Kurzfristigkeit lief alles reibungslos. Wir wurden sofort über die Abholzeit informiert, und unser Guide Faik war nicht nur pünktlich, sondern auch unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Er führte uns zu großartigen Fotospots, gab uns immer ausreichend Zeit und machte sogar fantastische Fotos von uns. Vielen Dank dafür! Wir empfehlen diese Tour definitiv zu 100 Prozent!
