It was scary at first but the guides are so great that we got relaxed after few minutes in the activity. The 1 hour horse ride was definitely enough to explore the beautiful chimneys around us. They did not forced the people to buy the photos and give tip. The pick up and drop off at hotel were very efficient and on time too. I would definitely do it again, next time would be the sunset ride.”

This was my first time on a hot air balloon and it couldn’t have gone any better for me. The pilot was very skilled and friendly. The ride was incredibly smooth it almost didn’t feel like I was so high up. There were moments where the balloon dips and goes back up and even that was so smooth. The pick up from my hotel was on time, the take off was on time. The time between drop off and take off was really short…”

Review of Cappadocia’s hot air balloon ride over Göreme’s fairy chimneys, with sunrise views, hotel pickup, pricing, safety, and practical tips.

“This was so well organised, as soon as I booked it I received a confirmation from the company. We were then given an exact pick up time the afternoon before the ride. They picked us up 5 mins early!

We were put in a balloon with about 20 people, not squashed in. The ride lasted a full hour and the pilot was outstanding at guiding us through the valley and pointing things out. The experience was incredible. My only…”

Review of Cappadocia’s Cat Valley balloon ride, with fairy chimneys, hotel transfers, safety details, pricing, and honest advice before booking.

“This balloon ride was the absolute savor of our trip! Our original booking, the number one item on our Cappadocia bucket list, was canceled due to weather. With our flight home looming, our initial operator had no space, and all other last-minute options were outrageously expensive. My family was crushed. Then we found Pegas Balloons on Viator. The price was fantastic—even less than our original—but we were skeptical. The flight was over the lesser-known "Cat Valley," and frankly, the reviews were terrible. We had a choice: risk it or miss out entirely. We took the chance, and it was the best decision we could have made. The experience was FLAWLESS.…”
