“Must do in Cappadocia. Upon check in light breakfasts available. One of the best Hot Air Balloon experiences we have had as a family. It was peaceful and surreal. The Goreme Valley was stunning at sunrise. Our pilot Furkan was funny and informative and he could maneuver the balloon like a pro. Definitely ask for him when booking. Upon landing, we had champagne, orange juice and chocolate cake with strawberries. Perfect ending. 10/10 highly recommend.”

“Amazing experience! We were picked up from our hotel promptly and got on the hot air balloon not long after we arrived on site. They gave us some snacks for breakfast as well.

After, we celebrated with some strawberry juice and received our first flight certificates! Thank you for a great experience!”

“What a cool experience! We were in great hands with our pilot Ali Riza, and it sounds like we were lucky to get up this time of year at all due to the weather. We cruised quite far and the coordination between the pilots and the ground team was amazing to witness. The whole crew was amazingly professional, kind, and very skilled. I felt safe and taken care of. I only gave 4 stars because for quite a bit if money (about $650 for 2 people in spring 2023) the breakfast was fairly lackluster and I would have liked a little more explanation of what we were seeing from the…”

Review of Lord Balloons’ Soganli Valley flight in Cappadocia, with sunrise views, hotel pickup, breakfast, champagne, pricing, and practical tips.
“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”
