Fantastic experience and no fear factor at all. The whole experience is well worth it. The captain was an entertainer. The hardest part was getting in and out of the basket.
Thank you for your great review! We're so glad you had a fantastic time and felt completely at ease during the experience. It’s wonderful to hear the captain added some fun with his entertaining personality! And yes, getting in and out of the basket can be the trickiest part—but we’re happy the rest made it all worth it.
We had done a balloon ride in Soganli as the ones in Cappadocia were all fully booked. it was beautiful and the scenery amazing, although not as magical as it is in Cappadocia. it is also much cheaper, so if you do want to experience the balloon rides but not spend as much, then this is the option.
The views were absolutely stunning. The pilot and tour guides were amazing. I would highly recommend!

We booked our tickets months in advance for them to cancel on us a week before reselling our tickets for a higher price and then lying saying they are no longer operating when you can clearly see our tickets back up at double the price

We booked our balloon trip months ago after we planned our road trip around Türkiye. Three days ago, we received an email to say that the trip had been cancelled. No explanation, nothing. Just that we would receive a refund. The refund is about the only thing they've done right. I've been trying to contact TourMania since our trip was cancelled with zero explanation and they have ignored every form of contact from me. WhatsApp messages have been read and ignored. They read my messages quicker when I write in Turkish 😂 But the messages are still ignored! My emails are ignored too. This company are an absolute sham. Such a shame because we chose them initially as they had such good reviews and they seemed reliable. Absolutely not the case and I'd recommend that you pick someone else otherwise you'll be left as disappointed as us. A simple explanation would have gone a long way here rather than reading and ignoring my messages.

It was amazing, very good experience! She was very friendly and very good driver, at the end they gave us a glass of champagne and a little piece of cake for the birthday of my lady and another member, very concerned. I recommend it 100%.

It was an amazing experience, I will never forget. Murat helped us with everything and also gave us good tips such as bringing a coat because it gets chilly. The landing was wry smooth and we were not afraid.
