Great ride with our pilot, Fleming! Went on time and Fleming was very good, flying just feet above the tops of hills at times. Breakfast wasn't that great, but that's not one of the reasons to go on a balloon. Very safe at all times.

After flights in Kenya(2009) & Albuquerque(2011 Balloon Fiesta), couldn't believe that I still can have such a stunning balloon flight experience in my life. Our pilot was just so awesome who took us up and down flying among the volcanic cones and floating above valleys, that was just so like a dream of flying in the sky.

It was my first experience on hot air balloon and was fun and memorable ride although we have to wake up early morning. We had a great time from begining till the end. Our pilot, Suat is very professional and knowledgeable, and he is very informative of the area and about ballooning. Felt completely safe throughout. Breakfast was served differently... More

We were supposed to have a hot air balloon ride April 19th, 2012. We were only scheduled to stay one day in Cappadocia and on the 18th when we arrived in the evening, it was very windy. The pilot of the air balloon called us that evening to see if we could reschedule until April 20th, but unfortunately we couldn't.... More

It was fun. We landed three times before we got on the trailer. We should have liked one and a half hours balloom ride, not just one hour. Greetings from Norway.

Based on the recommendation of our hotel staff, we booked a flight with Royal Balloon. What a great ride, super pilot and wonderful sights. Pilot skill demonstated by landing basket on the truck trailer and low level passes over embankments. Great ride as only 8 passengers per balloon compared to 12 or more with the competition. It was worth the... More

The wind was more than a bit scary. It was the early morning before Turkey's first cyclone. Our Swediah pilot knew exactly how to maneuver the balloon up the face of fairy chimneys and into gorgeous canyons. Other balloonists sailed too high and were blown far off course. The views of the valleys and mountains were truly inspiring. And our... More

There aren't enough words to describe the experience. Royal Balloons was great. Very organized and professional. The pick-up at our hotel at 5:10am was right on time and the buffet breakfast was great. Words can't describe the flight. We chose the deluxe flight and joined ten others on our 90 minute flight. From the gentle lift-off and through the flight,... More

I visited Turkey with my husband this month. We booked Royal online after reading great reviews on TA and the company's credentials in terms of balloons and pilots. We booked Queen flight(12-20 people) , but were pleasantly surprised to see that we were put in a small basket with 12 people. The Pilot gave good commentary about various valleys and... More
