Is there an opportunity to go on a balloon ride in Cappadocia?

Im sorry there is no opportunity to do the balloon ride in Cappadocia unless you are happy to miss out on the morning activity. You tour CEO would need to help you toorganise this whilst on the trip.

wonder what the size of the group will be

Our maximum group size is 16 travellers

Are your charged extra for one person per bedroom, compare and contrast best price please. Is there a difference in price due to the time of year, compare and contrast, best price please. Attractions: are they all open at the correlations of my booking choices above. Temperatures in Turkey are cold in your advertised times. Can you find the best temperature times with the information above taken into consideration? Airports, I live in the North West, Morecambe, can you please find best price and times at airports near by: if possible Manchester. Do you have a door to Airport service price applicable to the airport chosen?

Prices are based on Per Person, rather than Per Room. Prices can vary depending on the time of the year you are planning on travelling, as peak seasons are traditionally more expensive. We don't offer flights however, so this would be arranged by yourself.

  If we choose to do the Balloon ride in Capaddocia, what activity will we miss?
- National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
  On day 11 you may miss the 'Göreme Open Air Museum Guided Tour' however most of the time travellers are able to fit in a sunrise balloon ride and still meet back with the group for the Göreme Open Air Museum tour. If you would like to do this we recommend reaching out to your CEO (tour leader) at the Welcome Meeting on day one so they can help make a booking that will work with the planned activities so nothing is missed!

  What does an outage mean in relationship to cancellation of a potential holiday? In your terms and conditions are you covered by ABTA? Do you have a cancellation policy? Are there no flights on all your holidays?
- National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024
  The outage meant that we were unable to access bookings and create new bookings. No bookings have been cancelled that were already created and yes, our tours are ABTA protected. Our tours do not include flights and these would need to be booked independently.
