Is it possible to arrange transportation from the airport in Istanbul back to the hotel?

Certainly, that can be arranged. The price would be 120 USD - Including greeting service upon arrival.

Does the package in the hot air balloon costs. If not I want to know what the costs are for the hot air balloon. We definitely want to go on this ride. What time is the hotel pickup for the hot air balloon ride. How long is the hotel pickup air balloon ride. What time does the ride start and end. What happens after the ride has ended.

The Hot Air Balloon Ride is not included in the package. The price is 349 USD / Per Person at the moment. The pick-up is in the early morning, between 4 - 6 AM. The transfers take around 15-20 minutes per way, and the ride lasts about 45-50 minutes in the air. After the hot air balloon ride, you are served some appetizers and some champagne, and brought back to your hotel.

What time do I need to arrive on the first day to make it to the full day tour?

You would have to be in Istanbul one day prior to the tour for the pick-up, as you would be flying to Cappadocia very early in the morning on the 28th.

Is transport all included from the pick up hotel?

Hotel pick up and drop off is included with the tour package.

  I have asked the balloon association, unfortunately, all companies seem to be fully booked for the dates you are planning to travel in. If you wish, we could put you on a waiting list, however, it is top of the high season and availabilities are very unlikely to come up.
