Very convenient way to visit the Cappadocia if you're short on time - Unfortunately our balloon ride was cancelled due to bad weather, but we were aware of this possibility and got the partial refund. If you really want the balloon ride and have time for it, you should stay longer in Cappadocia to retry every morning until weather is good, otherwise you'll need to be very lucky if you have only one shot. However, if you're short on time like I was, it's still worth going to Cappadocia even without the balloon ride, and this tour makes that very convenient! The views are amazing, the Cappadocia Hotel is awesome and has a delicious breakfast, and the camel ride is very fun. The only downside is that our tour guide was not the best we had and the van was too tight and a bit hot sometimes (the AC was not working well), but I still give it 5 stars because everything else makes up for it!

Different itinerary provided than advertised - The itinerary I got before the tour started was not the one advertised & I had to pay out of pocket for a new flight back to Istanbul & missed parts of the tour because they picked me up late. I did not get refunded for any of this. There are plenty of tour operators in Cappadocia that all offer the same tours. I would not recommend using this one.
