It takes a newbie a year of training to become a ballon pilot. And this company is the best.

Excellent service and great trip. This balloon company certainly goes the extra mile to give a superb all round experience. Tolga is also a superb pilot - very funny and informative

The staff of royal balloon are licensed pilots. With 200 usd, u get free pickup from hotel in the early morning, breakfast near take off point, some explanation on natural geoligical formations u see from above, medal, choco dipped strawberry and orange juice after landing. Of course, u can choose to fly with cheaper ballon company. But the treatment from royal balloon staff was good. I highly recommend them.

Once in a lifetime experience. We took the King package. The tour was very well arranged. We were picked up at our hotel in Uchisar on time and taken to the office. A buffet breakfast was arranged there and we were transferred to our vans to take us to the balloon. The balloon ride was quite long and we were one of the last balloons to land. But I made the mistake of booking the tour on their website. You can easily save more than 50 euros by booking through other websites like Viator, etc.

Not cheap but it went smoothly, they picked us at the time that they said they would. 2 out of 3 of us were late but they waited for us. We were then able to wake up over a buffet breakfast before doing the hot air balloon. This was finished off with local sparkling wine and snacks. Great way to start the morning in Cappadocia!

I planned this trip as a birthday surprise for my husband, as he's always wanted to fly over Cappadocia in a hot air balloon. Normally it's him that plans all of our travels (he's addicted), so for once it was his turn to be surprised!

I chose Royal Balloon over the others in the area based on their exceptional rating here on TripAdvisor, and it could not have been more deserved! Throughout the entire process, from first communication to the flight itself, they were quick to respond, friendly, and informative. There was some concern that the flight may not go ahead, as Turkey had suffered from severe snowstorms and high winds in the days immediately prior to our flight, and this had caused other balloon flights to be cancelled. Royal Balloon provided regular email updates with expected weather conditions for the day.

We were booked to fly on the 'Royal King' flight. This is a 90-minute flight rather than the standard 'Royal Queen', which is only 60 minutes. Additionally, the Royal King is limited to 10 passengers where the Royal Queen is up to 25 passengers. This was slightly more expensive, but worth every cent! Seriously, if you're planning a balloon ride, then spend the extra money on the King flight. You will *not* be disappointed!

On the morning of the flight, we were picked up from our hotel (Aydinli Cave Hotel - also excellent) by Royal Balloon's coach and proceeded to pick up other passengers for that morning's flight from hotels around town. It was a bitterly cold (-22°C [-8°F]) clear morning, but with no wind! We arrived at Royal Balloon's offices, paid our fee, and enjoyed a light breakfast in the 30 minutes before being directed to our coach.

We drove past the other balloons as the sky was beginning to lighten before sunrise, up to a hilly plateau looking down on the other balloons. It was a stunning scene, watching the balloons light up from their butane burners in the pre-dawn light. We boarded to balloon basket and were introduced to our fantastic pilot, Tolga! We were all briefed on the safety procedures for the flight, including emergency actions, and then took off just as the sun was rising over the mountains in the distance.

Over the next 90+ minutes, we floated high and low over the Cappadocian Hoodoos and valleys, sometimes close enough that the basket could touch trees in the vineyards, or soaring many hundreds of metres above the ground. Throughout the whole flight, Tolga entertained and informed us. He was a great pilot, and a very funny guy! His humour and knowledge added to what was already an incredible flight.

On finally landing on a remote plateau, the ground crew appeared and set up a table with drinks and desserts (chocolate-dipped strawberries, chocolate chip cookies, etc.), and we were each presented with a medal for completing the flight. Then a crew member appeared with a surprise birthday cake for my husband, complete with candles and sparklers! We all sang 'Happy Birthday' and enjoyed the cake. This addition was a wonderful touch, and made the day all the more special.

We once again boarded the waiting coach and were driven back to our respective hotels. We were the last to be dropped off, and were presented with Royal Balloon polo shirts (the were unfortunately too small for us, but it was still a welcome gesture).

I really can't recommend Royal Balloon highly enough, and you should certainly book with them when planning your balloon flight in Cappadocia.

We actually saw a thief trying to break into our window during our stay. This is OK and such things happen. What did not make me feel good is the attitude of the staff when he listened to our complaints. Feel not really respected.

I had a pleasant stay here. My room was pretty big and the air conditioning worked well. I appreciated that they left some fruit in the lobby every afternoon for the guests. The price was very reasonable.
