This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Goreme National Park, Goreme 50180 Turkiye

Your flight: Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gokcen Airport 01:05 am - Kayseri airport (ASR) 02:40 am  

You will receive your PNR code after reservation.

You will be met at the Kayseri airport with your name written on a paper.

You will enjoy the breakfast when the balloon is being inflated which takes 20 minute then take off for the breathtaking balloon ride.

It is a privilege to witness the sunrise in the air in Cappadocia. Pass through the most beautiful valleys of Cappadocia just like a bird. Fly over the fairy chimneys as your pilot is informing you about the region. The tour route covers the most spectacular views of Cappadocia.

After this approx. 60 min. tour, your professional pilot, with the help of the ground team, will land.

And finally, after the landing, a celebration with refreshing drinks (non-alcoholic) is waiting for you. On the spot where you land we deliver your flight certificate specially made for your name and continue to celebrate our successful flight.

Then finish your tour at 8:00 am with a transfer to your Cappadocia hotel, Kayseri airport or Nevsehir airport

Optional: Full-Day tour with lunch in Cappadocia after balloon flight.

Start the day visiting Devrent Valley, also known as “Imagination Valley”, this is the most surreal-looking landscape. Your next stop will be Pashabagi also called the Monks Valley because Christian hermits chose to locate hermit cells and churches in these three-headed pinnacles symbolic of the Holy Trinity, it is possible to see all the stages in the formation of fairy chimneys at this spot.

Proceed to Avanos (Venessa) the pottery centre of Cappadocia, this village is set on the banks of the Kizilirmak/Red River. The river gets its name from the red clay it deposits. You can watch the potters at work using kick wheels, the technique which has remained unchanged for generations.

You will have lunch in a local restaurant before continuing to Goreme Open Air Museum. The world’s most important Byzantine cave churches are found in these once remote valleys where monks and nuns pursued monastic life from the 3rd century on. Here you can see the best preserved Byzantine cave wall paintings and frescos from the Iconoclastic period through to the end of Seljuk rule. Icons with scenes from the Old Testament and the New Testament above portraits of Church Fathers and saints depict the structure of the Byzantine universe.

Panoramic view point Esentepe. With a spectacular view over Goreme, see the complete view of Goreme valley and Goreme village: fairy chimneys, rock formations and cave houses. End your day with Uchisar Castle. This tall rock, the highest point of the Goreme region.

Tour company arranged all details very well, we had a blast and everything was on time. Only company we could find that makes a day trio to Cappadocia possible with a balloon ride included. Loved every min of it.Thank you.

Whilst the tour itself was 4 stars in my opinion, this company deserves less than 1 star for the service and also the description provided for this tour. Following booking this tour we received the flight confirmation details from Enka Travel. Our flight time was 00:10 departing from Istanbul Airport. The fare had been booked by them through a third party website. On the afternoon of our flight I received a message from the tour operator stating that our flight had changed and was now at 21:20. We had already made plans for that evening which now clashed with this booking time. I asked why we had only just been notified the flight had been changed. They told me that she had only been notified by the airline that morning the flight had been cancelled and had rebooked on our behalf. I contacted Turkish Airlines who informed me that the flight had actually been cancelled a month earlier. When I raised this with Enka they told me that it was my responsibility to ensure my flight hadn't been cancelled. They hadn't provided my contact details on the original flight booking. Had this been the case I would've received a notification when it was cancelled and could've made other arrangements. Enka then continued to blame me and made out like they'd done me a favour and weren't liable to rebook the fare according to La Vacanza Travel rules (even though it was provided as part of the package they'd sold). They even told me how lucky I was to even be going on the balloon tour as spots that day had been selling or over 400 euros on the 'black market'. The manner this was handled was very unprofessional and I did appreciate being blamed for something which was largely out of my control and should be included in the list of services a travel company provides. Due to our flight being 3 hours earlier than scheduled we were dropped off at a hotel and allowed to stay in their reception area for 5 hours until our pickup. I felt this was very unprofessional. Upon speaking to another couple on our tour it came to light that they had in fact realised the flight had been cancelled and notified Enka, Enka had not even realised prior to that. In addition to this the following are incorrect about the description: Lunch was not a buffet and the restaurant tried to charge us for lunch. Breakfast is crackers and tea/coffee. Return airport transfer had not been organised. The pottery is a demonstration and you don't get to try it yourself. Balloon ride was 45 minutes.

Although due to climatic reasons, it was not possible to take the hot air balloon flight, my overall experience was excellent! The cave boutique hotel was unexpectedly pleasant, the enchanting assistance from their personal, and the dedication of the tourist guide made us to feel an unforgettable trip to Capadoccia.

I booked the tour and ready to go till 6 hours before the tour process start i got tour cancellation via Whatapp during waiting the plane at Istanbul Airport!Understandable because of weather conditions but information i got that is really wrong!At my text in whatapp said that i will get refund from my balloon tour and they will arrange "Free Hotel" to continue day tour! The Day Tour!!!Carefully check this tour because in my group tour they put together with English Speaking, Turkish Speaking and Spanish Speaking together so during all the place you have been you need to wait the guide tour all step that you need to know!!! And other group speaking so it take a bit time during wind and cold!!!The guide also didnt seem active much during first spot that we need to wait the guide sitting and drink their morning coffee!!!So all spot you need to see you need to standing to wait the guide explains each speaking first and then is your turn!! Kind of unprofessional in my opinion!After the trip that for drop off!!!They drop me in some hotel lobby since 16.30 until 18.30, 2 hours in some eat place of the hotel to wait someone pic me up to drop me back to airport!!! That are so bad services!!! 2 hours in someplace that not even anyone give any information because i try to ask hotel reception he didnt know any information about pic up!!! Good luck have someone came to pic me!!!After the trip!!!I got refund 120 euros and i try to ask the tour via whatapp and she said TripAdvisor took the rest of money for Hotel, Transportation, Food, Services, Ticket!!!But at the beginning they didnt inform that i need to pay!!! Because i dont wanna just fly to Kayseri to make a day tour! I took the tour because i fly balloon then just take a rest of the time during waiting night flight to take tour!So I am not sure right now who are try to cheat me about the tour between TripAdvisor-La Vacanza Travel or travel agent!!!I went to Brazil - Peru and used La Vacanza Travel and kind of impress it so much but now i need to consider again to use this services!!! Because after the trip i try to contact them it seem quite difficult bc in Q&A have only company completed answer that is not really true information!!!Because i wanna ask and inform them manything but seem quite difficult to contact!!!So Carefully about La Vacanza Travel Tours if you have the problem you will get confused between who will respond the failed thing between La Vacanza Travel or Travel Agent!!!
