We had a wonderful morning on the Cappadocia Balloon watching tour! Our guide Balin was punctual, friendly, and took us to the best locations to view the balloons. The tour is exactly as described, first you can watch them being inflated and begin to rise from the ground (pretty impressive due to the size of the fleet), then we went to a panoramic overlook with lots of great viewpoints to capture the balloons in the sky as the sun rises. Overall we enjoyed our experience and it was exactly what Id hoped for.
