Surprising and incredible - It was the most insane and incredible adventure I've ever done. Cappadocia is enchanting, charming, romantic and inspiring. The Butterfly team is sensational, super attentive and prepared for the tour. Our pilot Gunal was so kind, which turned the already incredible feeling into an unforgettable ride.

Go Butterfly Balloons - Best trip ever Felt safe and supported. An early start more than worth. Very highly regulated so some people miss out if the wind is not right

A top 10 experience!! - I spent a lot of time researching companies for the balloon ride, of which there are many in Cappadocia, but several had bad reviews, and my choice couldn't have been better. It exceeded my expectations in every way. It was very worth it. Feeling of safety, skill, humor and disposition of the pilot as well as the ground team, helpful, kind and fun. 1 hour flight, I had a lot to enjoy. We were lucky with the weather and the wind too. At the end champagne, toast mug, medal, certificate and we purchased a pen drive with images of our trip. We were picked up at the hotel at 4am, we left for a brief breakfast in a covered place with people who were going to fly with other companies, we watched the balloon inflate, we saw the view with the sunrise on the ground (starting) and then in the sky . At 6am we landed and in no time we were back at the hotel for breakfast at the hotel. Everything organized and punctual. It was wonderful! Congratulations Butterfly Balloons team and pilot Gokhan Aydin - 10! and Thank you for an unforgettable experience. And look, we flew in a balloon in Bagan (Myanmar), and I questioned whether to take this trip or not, because it's really quite expensive. During our time, we paid 300 euros per person for a balloon with 16 people plus the pilot, with plenty of comfortable space to move around in the basket, switching sides with the other couple who were in the same space as us, in order to capture the best images.

Fantastic flight over incredible scenery. - Butterfly Tours were simply fantastic - very well organised from the start with an early pick up from our hotel (Mak's Cave in Uchisar) and a terrific pre-flight breakfast. The "boarding procedure" for getting to the ballons was simple and effective. The flight experience, with pilot Mehmet AK in charge, was breathtaking as we took to the pre-dawn skies with at least another hundred ballons. The sunrise was spectacular and the cruise over the unusual Cappadocian countryside was out of this world. The landing was exciting and carried out with pinpoint accuracy. Mehmet's photographs, available during the post flight celebrations, were exceptional. A wonderful experience all round. A dream come true.
