    Stay Away from This Company – Completely Unprofessional and Untrustworthy

    Stay Away from This Company – Completely Unprofessional and Untrustworthy I don’t usually write negative reviews, but the public deserves to know about our awful experience. We booked a balloon ride with this company for April 26 during our family vacation to Cappadocia — a once-in-a-lifetime trip we had planned carefully. Due to weather, they told us they would move our ride to April 27 and instructed us to wait rather than booking with anyone else. We trusted them. Well, now it’s April 27, and we are completely screwed. They never confirmed anything, and now we can’t find any available balloon rides. This company wasted our time, ruined an important part of our trip, and showed complete disregard for our plans. Their lack of professionalism is shocking. They strung us along, gave us false hope, and left us with no options. Companies like this should not be allowed to operate. Save yourself the heartbreak — book with someone else who actually values their customers.

    My trip travel & tourism agency, excellent service, on-time, best value for money.

    We had an incredible time in Cappadocia, thanks to My Trip Travel & Tourism Agency. From the moment we reached out to them with our requirements, they were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. Their extensive knowledge and expertise ensured that we received the best value for our money without compromising on quality. Moreover, their punctuality in handling all aspects of the booking, from airport transfer to arranging the hot-air balloon and ATV was truly impressive. I never had to worry about any aspect of my trip, thanks to their thorough planning and organization. Thank you for all your efforts.

    not even one hour! :-(

    The experience is great, however, our ballon was the last one to take off and the first one to get to the ground very short

    Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.

    How much does Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 Hot Air Balloon Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Hot Air 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 (4.7/5 across 21 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 Hot Air 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 Hot Air Balloon Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Tour?

    +

    Around 7 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cappadocia Hot Air 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.
