“What an amazing journey in the sky! Thankful for weather and our competent pilot Furkan, this experience was surreal. The basket didn't move unexpectedly at all (comfort flight) and it was so calm that you can even do yoga in the sky. Today is November 26, but we weren't cold at all. It was absolutely serene in the air. We were also impressed with the light snack before the flight. Turkish friends always feed us well. Thank you for this unforgettable morning that now I will be disappointed to look at back in my house on the ground.”

Rise before sunrise for a roughly one-hour hot air balloon flight over Göreme’s valleys and rock formations. Rainbow Balloons chooses the launch site by wind direction, provides hotel transfers, a snack box, safety briefing, certificate, and a non-alcoholic sparkling toast after landing.

“Overall it was excellent experience in every detail! The day we booked - flight was cancelled due to bad weather and no one was flying, so you can be sure about the safety, they check everything in advance. So we had our flight the next day and we were changed for standard 32-person cabin instead of comfort that we booked initially because they had too many people for that day. Sadly the cost difference wasn't refund, but we were ok with it because we had no choice for other day or other company. Anyway the price in low season is affordable. Our flight took honest one hour. We were lucky…”

“Lord Balloons flies over solangli valley, about one hour drive from Nevsehir. After signing up a month before for $94 each, we found it is easy to Book for $100 each in the much more scenic valley near Cavusin. We were glad, in retrospect, that the trip was canceled by Aviation authority after finishing their basic breakfast. The breakfast place seemed primitive and sloppy. For a few bucks more, we went the next day in Goreme and that was awesome”
