A wonderful experience
It was a truly extraordinary experience. A day cannot start any better. The organization was really top-notch!
Punctual pickup from the hotel, the small breakfast even exceeded my expectations, hot drinks, pastries, fruit, the transport to the balloons and the transfer back to the hotel. Everything perfectly organized.
The balloon ride itself was a dream, right past the fairy chimneys, so that they appeared within reach, then the wonderful view of the breathtakingly beautiful landscape, the sunrise, simply wow.
After a gentle landing, there was a champagne christening, cake, strawberries, and a certificate.
Since the trip took place on my birthday, there was even a bottle of sparkling wine given as a gift.
The team with the pilot Yahya was extremely friendly, perfectly organized. We felt completely comfortable.
Many thanks for this great experience!

An unforgettable experience with Royal Balloon and pilot Görkem
I had a wonderful hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia with Royal Balloon! Since I was traveling alone and was quite scared at first, I was a bit nervous. Thanks to our pilot Görkem, his professionalism, his calm and humorous manner, as well as his impressive skills, my fear was quickly dispelled, however. The ride was very pleasant, professional, and fun at the same time. I felt in the best of hands at all times.
It was also especially nice that I even received a bottle of champagne as a gift for my birthday.
I can really recommend that everyone fly with Royal Balloon and especially with Görkem. It was a great and unforgettable experience!

An unforgettable experience – absolutely recommended!
From the punctual pickup right to the minute to the return transfer, everything simply worked perfectly. The bus was clean, the breakfast good – even though we personally arrived a bit late and unfortunately didn't have that much time for it as a result.
The balloon ride itself was just mega! 😍 The Soğanlı Valley was the perfect decision for us. We were able to enjoy the beautiful landscape in a very relaxed way, without balloons being everywhere and the view being impaired. Plus a dreamlike sunrise – simply unforgettable! 🎈🌅

Definitely book it.
Butterfly is the best provider on site. Small baskets with a maximum of 20 people make the balloon ride a special experience. Everything is perfectly organized from the pickup to the flight. Pick-up is right on time with good minibuses. After breakfast, we continue to the departure point, which can be somewhere different every day depending on the weather. Clearance to fly comes from the government. We had a super experienced pilot in Mustafa, who proved his skills to us with great flight maneuvers. Thanks to the whole team, and especially Mustafa, for this "once in a lifetime" experience over the breathtaking landscape of Cappadocia. Depending on the weather, every day and every experience is unique - the Butterfly team does everything to ensure that customers go home happy. We can definitely highly recommend Butterfly.

You Gotta Do This
The sunrise balloon ride is a must do activity in Cappadocia. We had a fun group which added to the experience. The operators are very professional in all phases of the experience from morning pickup to preflight preparation to the flight, landing, and post-flight return.

Excellent Time In The Air!
A magical experience and definitely worth the money and patience! Flights were cancelled the first day and we rebooked the next day with fingers and toes crossed. Rainbows Colours crew were wonderful… from the time we got picked up from our hotel to the end. The view from above was incredible and surreal as well. Staff are well trained and very efficient. Never forget to tip at the end…it is a costly production and all deserve a reward at the end!

Normally afraid of heights but this is MAGICAL
This is a MUST when visiting Cappadocia!!! It’s simply magical. I’m actually afraid of heights but I was calm yet ecstatic the entire balloon ride. This crew wants you to have the most amazing experience and pulls out all of the stops to make it happen.

Perfect tour!
We purchased this tour one day before the tour. They sent us a message a few minutes later. The driver picked us up at the time we agreed on.
The balloon ride was fantastic! All the crew — the pilot and the workers — were amazing. Everything was perfect!
We had champagne and received a certificate to celebrate that we made it.
1000000/10. I definitely recommend them.

An Unforgettable Cultural Experience in Istanbul
On a whim, I decided to look for an evening activity, and I’m genuinely glad I found Istanbul Hodjapasha Rhythm of The Dance Show. It ended up being one of those travel surprises that stays with you long after it’s over.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻

The show is top notch and beautifully paced. It moves through folkloric dances from Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Caucasus, blended with oriental dance and modern choreography, and it never once drags. The structure keeps you engaged the entire time, and the costumes are incredible. The 360-degree projection effects add to the atmosphere without distracting from the performers.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻

Every dancer is impressive, but what really stands out is the passion behind it. You can feel that this isn’t just choreography they’re executing. It means something to them. Quite honestly, for the caliber of performance, I think they are undercharging.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻
⸻
Before the show, there’s also a small dance culture exhibition in the foyer, which is a nice touch and gives helpful context about what you’re about to see.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻
⸻
My only piece of advice is to make the booking process clearer: if you buy tickets online, you still need to pick up a physical ticket at the venue, and that’s when you’re assigned a seat.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻

One performer I have to call out specifically is the man who had a few solo performances, including one where he spun for nearly five minutes while using his clothing as a reflective prop. The way he married the music with his movements was beyond impressive, and I genuinely left that moment nearly speechless.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻

I highly recommend this show. It’s moving, energetic, and memorable in the best way.

Beautiful and touching views
The itinerary includes hot balloon shuttle to the hotel, a simple breakfast, a champagne at the end, a hot balloon certificate and an approximately one-hour flight time. It is worth the experience, you can see the special terrain of the whole picture as well as the sunrise. The driver rotates the hot balloon so that each side can see the surrounding view. Come here must experience once

Unforgettable Adventure — Zipline, ATVs & River Fun!
What an amazing experience! The zipline over the river was absolutely thrilling, and the ATV ride through the trails was pure fun and adrenaline. After that, we took a boat trip down the river with the funniest and most energetic captain ever - he made everyone laugh the whole way! Our whole group bonded on the boat, and by the end of the day we felt like one big team. Everything was perfectly organized, super fun, and full of great memories. Totally recommend this adventure to anyone who loves excitement and good vibes!
