    Asked on November 27th, 2025

    this 3 day tour has optional balloon ride included but in the itinerary there is no mention of when the balloon happens and the cost price involved. We hope to be there in mid October 2026

    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      The hot air balloon can be arranged as an extra activity, and since it is a sunrise flight, it will not affect your tour schedule. The price is 300 USD per person, including hotel pick-up and drop-off. It can be arranged for the morning of Day 2.

      We work with Kaya Balloon Company. All hot air balloon flights take place at sunrise. Hot air baloon is not included int he package price, it can be arranged after your booking.

    Nathan

    Asked on October 7th, 2025

    I would like to ask what happens with the dinner on the first and second day. Is it not included in the package? If so, can I have dinner at the hotel and could you give me an approximate menu price?

    Meals
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      Dinners are not included in the tour package. There are several restaurants near your hotel where you can have dinner according to your taste. It's difficult to give an exact price, as restaurant menus and prices vary, but you can expect to spend around 15–20 euros per person for a meal. You may also ask the hotel reception for restaurant recommendations nearby.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      Once you complete your package reservation, we can gladly arrange your hot air balloon booking and add it to your TourRadar account. If the flight is canceled due to weather conditions, the amount will be refunded directly to your card. The price is USD 300 per person, including hotel pick-up and drop-off. We always recommend booking the flight for your first morning, so that if it gets canceled due to weather, there may still be a chance to try again on the following day.

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      For now, we are not sure about our trip, So, we just want to know the availability in the morning of 16th of September. Can you tell me the availability? Also, we would like the balloon in the early morning. Can you arrange the early flight?

      We would like to spend some time in Istanbul on the day we leave for cappadocia. So, we would like to leave Istanbul some time afternoon. Is it possible? Can you tell me available times of flights from Istanbul to cappadocia?

    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      Normally, the flight to Cappadocia in this package is scheduled early in the morning on your first day. If you would like to arrive in Cappadocia one day earlier, an additional night's accommodation will be needed. There are also afternoon and evening flight options available.

      Lesley

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      if I book the tour on 15th of September, can I divide the payment? The credit card I have has a limit on how much I can use for one payment and it's about $2,000. So, it would be very convenient for me if I can pay for some deposit first, and the full amount later. Is that possible?

    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      For bookings in September, full payment will be required at the time of booking. Unfortunately, our system does not allow split payments for tours departing in less than 60 days. As an alternative, you may place two separate bookings - one for each of you.

    Would like to know if it's possible to arrange a Bedouin supper night meal in the desert

    Meals
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      There is no activity like a Bedouin-style desert dinner or supper night in Türkiye. You might be thinking of destinations such as Egypt, Dubai, or Abu Dhabi, where such experiences are common. Türkiye does not have desert landscapes.

Will we be able to watch the balloons one morning and take a balloon ride on another morning? 4. What time do all the activities finish and we return to the hotel?
