“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…”

“It was a nice experience, good driver, friendly balloon pilot,… Cat Valley is not the same as Gorëme, because there are not many balloons flying, but it’s a nice green and quiet view. If you would like to see something different, it’s nice. Otherwise you would be disappointed.”

“DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! They will claim that they have to cancel due to bad weather while all other companies operate only because they charge higher ticket prices and when they are overbooked they cancel last minute with lower price tickets. Then leave you stranded last minute and ignore all contact you try to make to reschedule.”

6.Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Flight ( Cat Valley )

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 26 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $84

Fly over Cappadocia’s quieter Çat Valley rather than central Göreme, with hotel pickup, an English-speaking operation, a basket for up to 18 people, non-alcoholic bubbly, insurance, and a flight certificate. Expect about two to three hours in total.

“A truly amazing experience with a friendly pilot. Basket held around 15 people. Picked up and dropped off at hotel on time. Flew over **Çat Valley** - note this balloon flight does NOT fly over Göreme (i.e. the fairy chimneys with the numerous other balloons). However, it was priced cheaper than those in the centre and was a very peaceful and enjoyable experience. Non-alcoholic ‘bubbly’ and certificate after flight to celebrate.”
