What people are saying about Kayseri

Great experience overall. The drive to the airport was in time, the flight was decent. But the Cappadocia part was at another level. The sights and guiding were great, fulfilling and well organized. Hot air balloon flight at soganli valley wasn't a rush, it was very calm and had a unique taste. Especially the cave hotel was amazing. We had a slight delay on our return flight but this is not about the agency, so it's all good. Everything you'd like to do in Cappadocia is all here. Definitely recommended.

Very good experience! We booked a balloon flight but due to weather conditions we could not do it. They rescheduled us to the following day and we did the flight. Very happy with the experience and the team, they spoke fluent English and were very nice. The area of the flight is not too busy (only 3 other balloons) so if you want the typical picture with all the balloons you should try other area. In any case, our area was beautiful. Totally recommended for the price paid.

This was a must for us! One of the best activity from our a trip as it was a life long experience. We had a small breakfast before the ride. We went as a high as 1000km at a steady pace & the views were breathtaking . The fact that every hot ballon ride will be unique as it moves with the wind makes this experience even more memorable. We popped champagne to celebrate after landing safely. Pickup & drop off from the hotel was timely.

This experience was very well organised, the crew is absolutely helpful and very very nice. They offered us a little breakfast and champagne at the end of the flight. The flight is stunning and really interesting. I definitely recommend this experience Thanks a lot to everyone for being so friendly

Loved this tour. It’s a bit tiring but Cappadocia is a must in everyone’s bucket list. It’s amazing so the trip was worth it. The transfers, arrangement and guide were all superb! Big shout out to Shukria, our guide she is the Queen! Really knowledgeable and very kind mannered. Money well spent.
