Everything went really great. Be wary of the hot air balloon rides offered by travel agencies (in our case, it was €300 per person), and with Headout, we did it on June 6 at 4:30 a.m., in the Göreme Valley, flying over the fairy chimneys for €59 per person. A huge difference for a top-notch service in terms of punctuality, friendliness, and quality. I’ll recommend this agency (I have to admit I was initially skeptical) because of the price difference, but having seen it firsthand, they handle everything brilliantly. They send you the tickets or code right away and then keep in touch via email and WhatsApp with hotel pickup times, etc. Keep up the good work and let’s do away with the exploitative middlemen (in our case, Grandvoyage), who do nothing but inflate prices and discourage tourists from taking many excursions due to their exorbitant rates.

It was a great experience. The pickup was on time with a comfortable van. The balloon was great as well and not over crowded. The pilot and assistant were lovely as well as super professional along with the ground staff. Ensured a safe flight and landing! He even made sure everyone could see all around by rotating the balloon 360 degrees. We had the time of our lives!

The flight was great. The driver arrived at the hotel on time. The flight captain was great. So was the photographer. And at the end, the whole group toasted, and we were given a certificate—everything went according to plan.

They pick you up before dawn, still dark outside. Breakfast while the balloon inflates — then the sun starts rising over the fairy chimneys and rock valleys, and your brain just stops working for a second. Nothing looks real. Hundreds of colorful balloons floating simultaneously over Göreme at golden hour looks like a screensaver, except you’re in it.

Overall a very good experience. We were picked from the hotel on time. Balloon crew was very professional and engaging. It finished up with landing in a field and being offered drinks and snacks. The views from the top were amazing and unforgettable. Highly recommended experience at least once in a lifetime.
