misleading times

morning logistic was bad. Tour was booked to start at 4:30 am but just a night before we were told to be ready at 3:40 am otherwise it will be no show for us. Driver came at 3:30. Viatour could not help. We did not get hot tea or cofe, no audio. we had to wait for half an hour at the launch zone cause ballon wasn't ready.

So worth it! Book this company!

This was the most magical experience we’ve ever had! I am terrified of heights but felt incredibly safe the entire time. It is so much smoother than you expect it to be and the pilots are very skilled. The one thing with booking this is that the price is very deceiving and it would be nice if they put it down first. We got lucky and were able to go up first try! Could not recommend this tour more! This company also has a prettier ballon than most others.

Great booking

Great deal during this time. Picked up on time and dropped off at the end of the street. Good communication and great flight experience. Snacks before flight provided and champagne after

Operator response

Hi Kevin, Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear that you found the experience to be good value and that everything ran smoothly on the day. Reliable communication, punctual transfers, and a well-organized operation can make all the difference when you’re starting the day before sunrise. We’re also glad you enjoyed the little touches before and after the flight. Sometimes it’s those details, alongside the views from above, that help make the experience even more memorable. Thank you for choosing us, and we appreciate your recommendation. Best regards, Skyway Travel Team

Marvellous Experience

We were group of nine family members. The experience was wonderful starting from pick up at exact given time, watching the team inflating the balloon and the 1 hour marvellous flight. Would recommend certainly. A must do and excellent arrangements.

Operator response

Hi Muhammad, Thank you for your kind review. Travelling with family makes experiences even more memorable, so we’re delighted to hear that all nine of you enjoyed the adventure together. From the early morning pick-up to watching the balloon come to life before takeoff and then spending an hour above Cappadocia’s incredible landscape, it sounds like you experienced every part of the journey. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are pleased that the organization and arrangements met your expectations. Wishing you and your family many more wonderful travels together!

Afraid of heights? Book this ride!

This review is for people who would like to go but are concerned about safety. I was a bit nervous going into the ride. On top of everything else, I don’t like heights. I knew the views would be amazing, and they were. Amazing. But the most impressive part was the skill of our pilot who moved us up, down and across a sea of other balloons with ease and precision. We descended into Love Valley meters below the top and glided among the trees and between the canyon walls, getting exactly as close as the pilot desired. He and his assistant were in complete control of the equipment, in constant contact with others around us, and totally aware of our surroundings. After this experience, I would do it again without trepidation.

Operator response

Hi Molly, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We especially appreciate that you wrote this from the perspective of someone who was nervous about the experience. Many guests arrive with similar concerns, and it’s reassuring for future travelers to hear from someone who felt the same way. Ballooning may look adventurous from the ground, but behind every flight there is extensive training, careful planning, and constant communication. We’re delighted that the professionalism and precision of the flight crew helped you feel comfortable enough to simply enjoy the experience and take in the incredible scenery around you. The fact that you would happily do it again is perhaps the best compliment we could receive. Thank you for trusting us with this unforgettable experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Cappadocia someday. Warm regards, Skyway Travel Team

Skyway the best for the hot air balloon ride

An unmissable experience. The guys at SkyWay Travel are very well-prepared and extremely kind. The landing was perfect, almost like parking. A dream

Amazing balloon flight over Cappadocia

A simply incredible experience to drift over Cappadocia at sunrise. The hotel pickup and drop-off was seamless, the staff friendly and professional, and the scenery was simply breathtaking. I cannot recommend this enough.
