Nos encantó la experiencia del vuelo en globo. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado desde el inicio y el recorrido fue espectacular. Ver Capadocia desde el aire, con todos los globos alrededor y los paisajes al amanecer, fue una experiencia realmente inolvidable. El equipo fue muy profesional y nos sentimos seguros durante todo el vuelo. Sin duda, una de las mejores experiencias de nuestro viaje y totalmente recomendada. Translate this opinion into English.

We absolutely loved the hot air balloon flight. Everything was very well organized from the start, and the route was spectacular. Seeing Cappadocia from the air, with all the balloons around and the sunrise landscapes, was a truly unforgettable experience. The team was very professional, and we felt safe throughout the flight. Without a doubt, one of the best experiences of our trip and highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Por una parte bien, por otra no tan bien. Nos recogieron puntualmente, nos diero un cafe muy rico y la experiencia fue muy bonita. En el aspecto negativo hay que decir que el chofer no sabía bien el camino, se equivocó en 2 ocasiones, llegamos (creo yo) tarde y para cuando subimos ya habia amanecido, que era para lo que habíamos ido. Precio muy elevado, otras empresas son más economicas y el paseo es el mismo. A mejorar.

On the one hand, it was good; on the other, not so good. They picked us up on time, gave us a delicious coffee, and the experience was lovely. On the negative side, the driver didn't know the way well, got lost twice, and we arrived (I think) late. By the time we got on, it was already dawn, which was the reason we'd gone. The price was very high; other companies are cheaper, and the tour is the same. They need to improve.

Fueron puntuales. Hubo dos grandes inconvenientes que para una familia de 5 uno de nosotros tuvo que ponerse en otro cajón con mala visibilidad. Hicieron un vídeo 360 y nos pidieron 5 euros por cada miembro de la familia por pasar el vídeo en Air Drop sin ninguna rebaja. Nos pareció un abuso. La próxima vez haremos la reserva de cada miembro por separado pero no me parece. Creo que esta práctica no queda elegante dado que ya se paga bastante por la actividad.

They were punctual. There were two major drawbacks: for a family of five, one of us had to sit in a different box with poor visibility. They made a 360-degree video and charged us €5 per family member to play it on Air Drop without any discount. We felt this was outrageous. Next time, we'll book for each person separately, but I don't think this practice is appropriate, given how much we already pay for the activity.

Siamo stati presi e riportati in albergo, come ad orario concordato il giorno prima dell'attività. Ci è stata offerta la colazione prima e il brindisi finale con il certificato di volo. Il pilota è stato bravissimo, siamo atterrati lievemente direttamente sul carrello che riporta indietro i cesti della mongolfiera. Il servizio è stato splendido e anche la mattinata, non c'era vento, il volo è stato emozionante. Siamo saliti ad 1.5km ed il pilota ci ha fatto sorvolare tutte e 5le valley. Top! Translate this opinion into English.

We were picked up and taken back to the hotel, as scheduled the day before the activity. We were treated to breakfast beforehand and a final toast with our flight certificate. The pilot was excellent; we landed gently, directly on the cart that carries the balloon baskets back. The service was splendid, and even the morning, with no wind, made the flight thrilling. We climbed to 1.5 km, and the pilot took us over all five valleys. Top! Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos pasaron a buscar a la hora acordada. La actividad realmente merece la pena ya que se disfruta mucho desde el minuto 1. És espectacular. El único inconveniente, el precio. Si lo hubiéramos comprado 2 días antes de realizar la actividad, en lugar de meses antes, nos hubiéramos ahorrado MUCHÍSSIMO dinero.... Translate this opinion into English.

They picked us up at the agreed time. The activity is definitely worth it, as you enjoy it from the very first minute. It's spectacular. The only downside is the price. If we had bought it two days before the activity, instead of months in advance, we would have saved a LOT of money. Opinion translated. Show original.

Los conductores del globo son excelentes Y muy amables Pero si fue un inicio muy deplorable Desde las 3:40 pasaron por nosotros y hasta las 5;15 llegamos a donde apenas estaban inflando el globo Antes de llegar a ese punto El conductor paró en 3 puntos diferentes y se notaba que no tenía ni idea de donde iba a ser el punto de reunión. Mi opinión es, por lo menos una persona que está a cargo del grupo debería hablar el inglés y tener la decencia de explicar que es lo que está pasando.

The balloon drivers are excellent and very friendly, but the start was quite poor. They picked us up at 3:40 and it wasn't until 5:15 that we arrived, where they were just starting to inflate the balloon. Before reaching that point, the driver stopped at three different locations, and it was clear he had no idea where the meeting point was going to be. In my opinion, at least one person in charge of the group should speak English and have the decency to explain what was happening.

Hermosa experiencia, recomiendo reservarse con antelación para encontrar un mejor precio! Recomiendo no perdérselo. Lo malo fue que nos tuvieron parados en un estacionamiento casi una hora, sin llevarnos a la zona de los globos, perdiéndonos así la vista de amanecer.

A wonderful experience! I recommend booking in advance to get a better price! I highly recommend it. The only downside was that we were left standing in a parking lot for almost an hour without being taken to the balloon area, so we missed the sunrise.

Muy bien una experiencia que dí o sí hay que hacer , por suerte que tenía el nombre del operador y con él me mantuve en contacto ; al ser un tour de 7 días con Civitatis y el paseo en globo comprado con antelación a Uds deberían proporcionar esa información al guía y que esté al pendiente como lo está del resto de turistas que compran el tour acá en el momento , uno se siente como aparte , pero en general bien Translate this opinion into English.

It was a great experience, and one you absolutely must have. Luckily, I had the tour operator's name and stayed in touch with them. Since it was a 7-day tour with Civitatis and the hot air balloon ride was booked in advance, you should provide that information to the guide and have them keep an eye on things, just like they do with the other tourists who buy the tour here on the spot. You feel a bit isolated, but overall it was good. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien, el madrugon vale la pena. Es todo un espectáculo y lo tienen todo muy bien organizado. Se canceló en la fecha prevista pero gracias a q me comentaron otros turistas(no la propia agencia) la posibilidad de hacer la excursión al día sgte, me puse en contacto con la agencia q lo realizaba y finalmte se pudo pasar al día sgte, a pesar d haber unas equivocaciones en cuanto a la hora de recogida que no me cuadraba con la ruta de viaje que tenia q emprender ese día.

Very good, getting up early is worth it. It's quite a spectacle and they have everything very well organized. It was cancelled on the scheduled date, but thanks to other tourists (not the agency itself) who told me about the possibility of doing the excursion the following day, I contacted the agency that ran it and it was finally possible to reschedule it for the next day, despite some mistakes regarding the pick-up time which didn't fit with the travel route I had to take that day.
