Kapadokya'ya gidipde balona binmeden dönülmez. Harika bir deneyim yaşadık. Buna sebep olan Vahit beye ve pilotumuz Nebi beye çok teşekkür ediyorum. Yükseklik korkum olduğu halde hiç korkmadım. Balonumuz o kadar güzel uçuruldu ki, hiç sarsılmadan uçtu ve indi. Tüm ekibe çooook teşekkür ediyorum.

Amazing experience! The pilot, Ceyhan, is really experienced and gave us multiple vantage points and moved the balloon in ways few others out there did on the day. If you want the best experience possible this is seriously the best option.
