Unprofessional
We had pre booked the Hot air balloon and the Green Tour . However the day before Viator cancelled the tour and the balloon ride and no reason was mentioned, the weather was good as all other companies were working on the said day. We had to waste our precious time looking for other tour operators when we reached Cappadocia ( which we didn't want to do therefore we pre booked our tour) . I thought that was very unprofessional of Viator, it being such a well established company I did not expect this.

Not as advertised.
Hot air balloon flight was amazing, and out tour guide (freelance) was quite good. However, the images and description on the site emphasized the river experience, and river restaurant which were not included. Not was the monastery tour. Instead, after a terrible lunch (not along a river), they took us around to overpriced stores to shop. Not in the description, not what we wanted, and certainly to get kickbacks from the store owners. Book a different tour, and make sure you do a balloon flight.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend, worth the money.
This was my second time doing this tour and I thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Handan, and seeing the incredible sites again. Handan was informative, fun and very accommodating and our driver, Murat, was excellent as well. Several of the places visited on this tour are quite a ways away from central hotel/pension areas so it is definitely worth the money to be able to check out some really amazing underground and above ground cities. The hike through Ilhara Valley is peaceful and not a strenuous walk (though very dusty!). Overall a great day and a great experience.

Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.
How much does Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Goreme usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Goreme is not rushed.
Is Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Goreme can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Goreme and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Goreme within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Goreme?
+
On Outty we rank every Goreme experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Red (North) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and tickets, Green (South) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and ticket, Cappadocia Green Tour - Classic Route (Popular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Goreme?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Goreme?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour?
+
Included: Sunrise Balloon Tour; Hotel pickup and drop-off; All taxes, fees and handling charges; Lunch; and Small-Group Green Tour. Not included: Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 854 listed pickup locations in and around Goreme. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Cappadocia Green Tour and Sunrise Balloon Tour offered in?
+
