I recommend the tour and its staff. - The tour was excellent, as well as with the Oklar guide. Very friendly, with good knowledge and willingness. So is driver Caglar.
They did not further assist in coordinating the return of the hotel to Keyseri Airport the following day.

A one-day tour of the highlights of Cappadocia. - Convenient tour that allows you to visit the main attractions in a day. The guide, Onurcan, was a professional who spoke multiple languages and was attentive to participants. If you are going to stay for another day, I would recommend you to take a tour to the underground city south of Göreme in addition to this tour.

Absolutely amazing... - Absolutely amazing experience!
I wanted to offer the balloon flight to my mother as a birthday gift but I'm very afraid of heights and she doesn't speak English, so I spoke with Discovery Balloons and they allowed me to go with her as watcher (and later my dad was also able to come with us).
They picked us up at the hotel and then we went to the agency for breakfast and safety instruction. We then went to where the flight starts and stayed there till the balloon went up. My mother loved the flight! She said it's absolutely beautiful.
Me and my dad came back to the station and then the driver took us to the place where the balloon landed, where there was cake and champagne and the flight certificate was delivered.
I want to say thank you to Discovery Balloons, because they are always very nice and eager to help (we spoke a lot via WhatsApp) and this way I could give the gift I wanted to my mother!

Good but not great - Guide and driver did their jobs well. However I am disappointed the trip did not follow the itinerary and missed a few stops. I wish it could have been longer and hit all the stops. One of the stops was a scammy ceramics place that charged USD and overpriced their products which started chipping as soon as I returned to my home country. They also did not use the air conditioner in the van, only the fan, which made it unbearably hot inside the van during the day.

Guide and driver well, not quite according to the itinerary. - Mustafa guide super well, had a lot of knowledge of the region and answered all my questions. The driver also very well and prudent. What I didn’t like was that we were taken to a factory/leather jacket shop, which was a bit weird. They did a fashion show and then they took us to the store to sell us jeans that were really expensive. I think it was too much, and instead I would have liked to do something more cultural like the rest of the itinerary that was very interesting.
