1.Cappadocia Dream: 2-Days Tour from Istanbul & Balloon Ride Option

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 236 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $590Our pick

Cappadocia in two busy days from Istanbul, with cave hotel, ancient sites, flights, and an optional sunrise balloon ride.

“The trip to Capadocia and all the activities were 5 star! Our guide on Day 1 was also a 5 star, but the one on day 2 seemed to not want to be there and didn’t offer too much as far as explanations. My only serious issue is that I had to book the entire package for both my husband and I despite me telling the agent that only myself would be going on the balloon ride. He assured me that portion of the excursion would be refunded, but when I reached out to Viator they said they had no record of that and of course he wouldn’t give it…”

6.Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul 2 Days 1 Night by Plane included Balloon Ride

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 43 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $810

A fast-paced Cappadocia trip from Istanbul with flights, cave hotel, two guided tours, airport transfers, and a hot-air balloon ride.

“We could not do the flight in the air balloon because of weather reasons and that was our motivation to do this activity but, the worst was that they changed the time of our fllight and they did not consult us. Be careful with this because we arrived in Stambul at 2.00 a.m. They sell you that the returning flight is at 20.35 p.m. but it is not real, after they give you a cheaper flight that leaves from Capadocia iver 23.00 p.m.”

7.2 Day Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul with Optional Balloon ride

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 34 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $600

Review this 2-day Cappadocia tour from Istanbul, with cave hotel, major sights, meals, airport transfers, and an optional balloon ride.

“The guide’s knowledge was limited and at times frustrating. This was general consensus of group. Standard of accommodation was disappointing. After a big day in the heat would have been good to have shower facilities to freshen up for our 5hr wait for return flight. The garden courtyard was overgrown and toilet facilities near it hadn’t been cleaned for ages. Breakfast fine. Would have been good if they offered accommodation options. There were earlier flights available with Turkish Ailines but for some reason we were put on late flight with AJet.Flower balloon ride was fabulous. Would I recommend this tour through Viator, no I would not.”
