I am always sceptical when operators get universal five-star reviews, but I think in this case it is warranted. Everything is done to a very professional level and all the balloon operators co-ordinate well. There are apparently some less good ones from talking to people at our hotel but these guys are definitely in the better category. Pricing is extremely volatile based on the time of year and whether it has been windy recently as a significant percentage of the time, flights are cancelled, so make sure you try your balloon ride at the start of your trip so there's a possibility to reschedule. The flight time will be between 50 minutes and an hour. There are options to have longer flights but to be honest 50 minutes is enough in my opinion

Itinerary
• Your adventure will start approximately 1 hour before sunrise when you are picked up from your hotel and taken to the launch area. Here you will watch the final stages of the balloon inflation before getting into the basket. • While you are driving to the launch area, the pilots are busy checking the weather conditions to determine the perfect launch points. (This is one of the things we do differently from others) • Once the green light is given by the Turkish Civil Aviation authority, your flight can lift off. • Back on the ground, enjoy a traditional champagne celebration and receive your flight certificate to remind you of your experience for years to come. Afterwards, you will be transferred to your hotel.

Our first hot air balloon ride was absolutely unforgettable! The weather was perfect, and the sunrise was simply marvellous. Pickup was right on time, even a few minutes early, and everything was well organised. Our pilot, Bekir, was fantastic! He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the flight. I’m afraid of heights, but he was so reassuring that I didn’t even realise we were already around 2,000 metres up in the air! He’s also very funny! The flight was breathtaking, and the lovely champagne celebration and flight certificates after landing were the perfect finishing touches. A huge thank you to Nazar Balloons and especially Bekir for such an incredible experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cappadocia!
AMAZING! It was really worth it. We were very lucky with the wind and we could fly up to 2000 meters and see the sunrise. I highly recommend the experience! Our pilot Bekir was great! Thanks!
Our hot air balloon ride was nothing short of magical, and I mean that sincerely. The views were incredible! It was a little cold, but the team did a great job of keeping us warm and provided snacks, which was a nice touch. Our pilot, Bekir was fantastic, friendly, informative, and clearly skilled. The crew was well prepared, and he did a great job with the landing. Overall, an unforgettable experience that I would absolutely recommend!

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Nazar Balloon for giving us such an incredible experience today in Göreme, Cappadocia! 🎈❤️ Our hot air balloon flight was absolutely amazing — an unforgettable experience that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! Everything was perfectly organized, and the breathtaking views and emotions were beyond words. We experienced this magical adventure with friends, and we are all incredibly excited and happy to have been part of it. A very special thank you to our pilot, Ali! He was extremely attentive, kind, and professional. He explained everything in detail throughout the flight, made sure we felt comfortable and safe, and made the entire experience even more special. Thank you to the whole Nazar team for your professionalism, care, and warm hospitality.

Our pilot Ali was entertaining and informative. We felt very safe, and the e scenery was beautiful and peaceful.
One of the most incredible experiences of my life. Absolutely worth it! Once in a lifetime time experience. Our pilot Bekir was very experienced, we flew very close to the faries chiminies and up high.l, about 1 h in the sky! Pick up at hotel was around 5.30 and drop off around 8.30, so you will have time to eat breakfast at your hotel. They provide a small snack before flight that we end up not eating it, and that really doesn't matter and don't impact in anyway the experience. The flight was espectacular, you HAVE to do it!
Bekir is a very experienced and professional pilot. He has made the whole experience very pleasant and fun. He's also very professional that he explained everything to us with good patience and politeness. We all love him very much.
Fab experience with out pilot Bekir and his co-pilot giving us a smooth and amazing flight
Amazing experience. Venue, the pilot, is extremely friendly and awesome pilot.
The experience exceeded my expectations! We took the flight after sunrise, but you still arrive early enough to watch the balloons being inflated and see others already floating in the sky. You feel safe and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend bringing warm clothes!
A brilliant experience! The staff were friendly; informative and so professional! We would highly recommend it to anyone
Excellent experience! Everything went smoothly from the pick up to the ride itself. A beautiful morning with a spectacular sunrise. Highly recommend this company many for its outstanding service! And, a huge thanks to our pilot, Bakir.
