4-5am pick up from hotels 30 minutes transfer to balloon base 1hr flight duration 30 minutes back to hotel 7-8am back to the hotel These are estimated times, please note it may be vary.

Is Grant Hyatt available for your pickup/drop off from hotel option? Please name some hotels in the hotel pick up/drop off available areas? A friend of mine is also interested in booking this, but we plan to book separately and want our single separate rooms. However, we want to be in the same group, is it possible? if yes, what should we do to make sure we are in the same group? Is there a discount we get for booking with a friend?

Grant Hyatt Harbiye is in the transfer zone. You and your friend can book this tour separately. We can include you in the same tour if you inform us. Unfortunately, there is no discount available.

If they book the tour now at the promotional rate, can they adjust the travel dates later once their flights are confirmed? What flexibility is available in this case?

Are these room configurations available: One room with two double beds, One double bed plus one single bed, Three single beds? What is the associated pricing? For the Superior Hotel Category, what is the package price per person?

Can we get extra luggage (23kg total) for the flights during the tour?

Yes the flights can be upgraded with an additional fee of 30 us dollars per person per flight.

Is it possible to arrange business class seats at an extra cost for the 3 flights on this tour.

On certain routes, depending on passenger demand, smaller aircraft may be used, while on others, larger planes equipped with Business Class seating are scheduled. If the flight you're booking operates with Business Class, we would, of course, be delighted to secure your reservation in that cabin.

Will we be able to see the hot air balloon from the hotel accommodation? Can we book our own accommodation for an extra night and rejoin the tour with a different group the next day?

We can't guarantee this. Some hotels has this view and some others doesn't have. You can. There is no problem for our side.

Would it be possible to have the adventure operated in German or Turkish? Or have a tanslation from the English-speaking tour guide? Also, could you advise which airline you use for the internal flights? On the last day of the adventure the travellers get back to Istanbul in the evening between 8:00 and 10:00 pm. Would you be able to book 1 of post accommodation for them?

1. We run our tours only in the English language. 2. The airline company depends on availability. Might be any available. 3. Unfortunately. Because this package doesn't include any accommodation in Istanbul.

How much would hot air balloon ride cost?

The Hot Air Balloon Ride is 300 USD per person.

Would like to know if we can customize this tour with Cappadocia 6th/7th Nov pammukule 6th/7th no and Istanbul on the last day 8th nov. Hot air balloon in Cappadocia. Dinner cruise in Istanbul. Please let me know the overall cost all.

Excellent friendly tour guides with good communication skills and very knowledgeable. The tour was very well organised with a diverse mix of activities. We paid for the budget option of accommodation and it exceeded our expectations. The meals included in two restaurants out of 3 was excellent and very tasty. However, instead of 4 courses maybe only 2 courses and a soft drink included would be a better option. We really enjoyed our tour and a lot of great memories made. Thank you for a fantastic trip!Show more

I would have enjoyed this tour more if I was given more free time, or time at Hierapolis, instead of being shuffled to pottery, jewelry or linen stores. PLEASE TourRadar, list these sale scams into the tour itinerary so those of us who appreciate places and adventures are not stuck with a shopping experience that we didn't ask for. Buffets are fine for included food, but would be nice if the food was less options and more time spent on something delicious or unique.Show more

There is a lot of travel time involved in this trip which makes it rather tiring, i.e. very early starts on day one 3.45am (was noted as 4.30am on our initial itinerary), late arrival at hotel on second night (2am) and early starts. The lunches were nice but it would of been good to include at least water for free with the meals. The change in flight arrival location on the final day a few weeks before our scheduled tour was inconvenient as we had booked our international flights and hotels based on the airport locations so we incurred additional costs and travel time.Show more

  Which day is the Turkish dinner experience in the Cappadocia cave restaurant? And I want to check if there is a Vegetarian dinner option, meaning everything in the dinner is vegetarian, not just one or two items.
- Iglesias Tour TurkeyOperator•Written January 2026
  It is usually taken in the first night in Cappadocia. It is not just 1-2 item. There is a vegeterian meal. But, can't provide a list of foods at the moment since it changes day by day.

  Two questions now when you say smaller plane are we still talking about commercial airlines and not light planes and as we are looking at booking in the next couple of weeks how do we find out the new tour price with business class seats. There will be two people after these seats and what leg of the trip will have business class seats.
- Iglesias Tour TurkeyOperator•Written September 2025
  It is still commercial big airplanes. First, you will book this tour. Then we will check the flights depending on your dates. And will inform you about the additional fee. If all fine, we will proceed with the bookings.
