Hot Air Ballons

Benny_H, Nov 2025

We bought this tour to see the hot air ballons. The tour company kept me updated well on when they were picking us up. They took us to the site has planned, but the ballons did not take off due to weather. The tour company is giving me a prompt refund. They were very good with keeping me informed. I definitely recommend using this tour company.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback on our Cappadocia Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Watching Tour. We’re glad to hear that our team kept you well informed and handled the unexpected weather situation promptly and professionally. While it’s unfortunate the balloons couldn’t take off, we appreciate your understanding and kind recommendation. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for another Tourmania experience soon — hopefully under perfect ballooning weather next time! Warm regards, The Tourmania Team

It would have been really...

Feleandra_T, Oct 2025

It would have been really great if we have more time to spend in each places. The 2 hrs on the ticket includes the travel time and we end up only being 10 mins in one place and 30 mins on the other place. Another place was 15 mins only. To be able to capture everything it needs more time. The other downside on this tour was the driver smokes inside the van. The car smells cigarette. He should smoke outside and not inside because the smell stays in the upholstery. Not unless if the windows were open.

Do not book here, no one picked us up

MarianAlysa_T, Oct 2025

Do not book here. They never picked us up. They informed pick up is 5:50-6am, but when no one came at 6am, we tried to call them from 6-6:50am but no answer. We filed complaint via Viator app admin and are waiting for refund resolution.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Guest, We are very sorry to read about your experience and sincerely apologize for the distress and inconvenience caused. A missed pickup for a sunrise balloon-watching tour is unacceptable, especially after providing a pickup window and then being unreachable when you tried to contact us. This is not the level of reliability or communication we aim to provide. Your feedback has been escalated internally to review our pickup coordination and emergency contact procedures to ensure guests receive timely support, particularly for early-morning tours. We truly regret that this experience did not meet expectations and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. Kind regards, Tourmania

Great way to experience the balloons!

AUDREYANN_P, Sep 2025

We went to the departure point to see the balloons prepare and then we went to a beautiful viewpoint. We could see the balloons from very close! A must do for those who don’t want to fly!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Cappadocia Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Watching Tour and got to see the balloons up close from a beautiful viewpoint. It’s wonderful that you recommend this tour for those who prefer to watch rather than fly. We hope to welcome you on another memorable experience soon! Best regards, The Tourmania Team

The whole experience was...

Hernando_M, Sep 2025

The whole experience was good but the information is misleading in wich it says that is a ride "in a hot balloon", great views and also the guides were helpful and attentive to answer questions quicky

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the views and found our guides helpful and attentive. We would also like to clarify that this tour is a balloon watching experience and not a hot air balloon flight. We will review our wording to ensure it is clearer for future guests. Your comments are truly appreciated. Sincerely, The Tourmania Team

Perfection in every where, the most reasonable price!

Desury_P, Sep 2024

Amazing experience! The communication from this tour prior to it was excellent. The pick up from our hotel was on time, and the first location we ended up at was awesome. So much to see (balloons being inflated, car cruise lining up for pictures, balloons taking off). After a while our driver gathered us and took us to Lovers Valley to experience what we expect of Cappadociad Balloons greatness. We got there at a perfect time, catching the sunrise, perfect location and a stunning view. Really grateful of this experience, and of course the reasonable price. I have 0 complaints, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
