Wowww! - Wonderful experience! I'll tell you, I booked it a while ago and luckily I had 5 days in Cappadocia because it was canceled a day before and we had to rebook for two days later (paying more around €40) but I think it's not the tour's fault operator. However, they are perfect, the captain is handsome and friendly and the tour is amazing. It starts through the Pigeon Valley and rises to 800 meters high. The whole thing lasts 2 hours (from collection to return to the hotel) at the end they give you a certificate of participation and offer you a glass of champagne (non-alcoholic) not very good but it was enough! However, I highly recommend both for the piece and for the experience! Sara and Elena

I felt very safe and the... - I felt very safe and the price of the balloon ride was very affordable. Unfortunately it is far away from the other balloons.

Unmotivated, I expected more for the price we were charged - They promise 2 beaches that you can not enter because it has high tide and many stones, is very removed the rooms of the restaurant and the pool is nice and large but very neglected the tiles are being thrown even a relative cut inside the pool and was not the only one and the employee of the reception told me that he could not leave the complaint because there was no one, that if he wanted to put the complaint out by this means very bad attention on his part, the dirty and neglected playroom

Disappointing experience - completely useless - This is an absolute waste of money. Do not book this because it is cheaper than the other options. The team was late and we missed the sunset. There were no other hot air balloons and we were stationary in the air for 20 mins without any movement. They dropped us after 35 mins and we did not get to see anything. I was extremely disappointed and it was a complete waste of money. This is just a scam

Worst experience - Actual mentioned ride was from cat valley but we were taken to valley which is 70km away and by the time we reached,it was already sunrise and ours is only one ballon which started in that location. Through out journey no one was informed why location is changed. Pilot was good but overall experience was worst. We started at 5am and reached back our room at 11:15am. I recommend every to opt for Goreme instead of cat or any other valley. Very disappointing experience. I request Viator to look into the issue and hope others will not have such experience. Also allocated travel guide was not responsive. After paying 405£ we expect customer service should be proper and responsive but here travel guide is not at all responsive.

Great ride but terrible experience - The balloon pilot was very professional and experienced, and we had an enjoyable ride. However, the overall experience was terrible. We were sold an experience of watching the sunrise over Cat valley just 30 minutes or so away from our hotel, but we were taken to Ihlara Valley over 1.5 hours away. No one informed us that the destination had changed. We kept driving and driving not knowing where we were going. We finally arrived after sunrise as we waited for the balloons to fill up. Even though the deal was to be back at the hotel by 8:00am, we didn't arrive back until after 10:00am.

Never book Cat Valley, there is nothing to see - Cat Valley (Cat vadisi) is about an hour from Göreme, where all the other 150 hot air balloons take off. We were taken to a field and a whole 3 balloons took off. Instead of the booked 40 - 70 minutes we landed again after 20 minutes, as we had started much too late. There's nothing to see in Cat Valley. The experience was pure disappointment. The operator Pegas Ballons also told us about nothing beforehand.

Bad experience and disappointment - We drove 600 kilometers to have the most beautiful experience of a lifetime to fly with a balloon in the Görem area. The reality was with Pegas balloons that we were dropped in an open field 40 kilometers away from the hotspot. We flew with only 1 other balloon in a small valley and mostly agriculture ground (grass fields). We paid 1200 euro’s for our family and this was a dissappointment. I would never recommend this company!!!

Unreliable , unprofessional and disgusting operator - Viator should stop doing business with this operator, the activity was cancelled in the last minutes due to a bad weather which is totally untrue, the sky was blue without any cloud and cero wind , but I realized that the main reason was the low price , resulting in chaos for us that force me to pay double the original price in the last few hours before the activity begins.this practice is totally unacceptable and Viator is full aware of this situation.if you think that you’re getting a deal forthcoming you’ll end paying more than double price due to this practices.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - I booked this activity weeks in advance, considering the high demand for balloon rides in Cappadocia and the positive reviews. I paid in full and was expecting to receive pick-up information as promised, but heard absolutely nothing by the day of the activity. Despite trying to contact the operator through multiple channels (Viator, email, messages, calls, WhatsApp), no one responded. Assuming the pick-up would be around 3:30–4:00 AM as activity said was starting at 4:00 AM, we waited outside our hotel, but no one ever showed up. After hours of waiting and trying to resolve the situation, we saw on the app—much later in the day—that the activity had been refunded. There was no prior communication, no apology, and no explanation from the operator about the cancellation. We later spoke to hotel staff, who informed us that on days when the balloons don’t fly, the prices for the following day often triple. It seems that operators cancel bookings like ours to resell the tickets at a much higher price to last-minute buyers. This practice feels deceptive, especially when no one had the courtesy to inform us about the cancellation or offer an explanation. We had traveled all day to get to Cappadocia and were eagerly looking forward to this activity. It’s beyond disappointing that no one had the decency to communicate with us. If you’re considering this experience, I highly recommend booking through your hotel or another local operator who can guarantee proper communication and timely refunds in case of any issues. I hope I will actually receive the refund as promised, but this entire experience was unacceptable. Save your money and avoid this operator.
