Asked on April 21st, 2024Do we have time to take a balloon ride in Cappadocia? My husband might join me only 2 days, is that allowed? Any fee?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written April 2024
You may coordinate with the Travel Director on tour if there will be free time in Cappadocia to take a balloon ride. We do have an option to join the tour late but we do not recommend it if he will only join for 2 days as we have a policy that even if you join in the tour late you will still pay the full tour value.

Asked on February 19th, 2023Are there optional activities or excursions on this tour. If so, what are their estimated cost. I need to have a good understanding on the total cost of the trip.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2023
We appreciate you sharing your travel plans with us and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Optional excursions are not prebookable, they will be booked once you are on the trip with your Travel Director.

Asked on July 27th, 2022Does this tour allow a hotair balloon ride in Cappadocia?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written July 2022
You may opt in using the afternoon to take the optional we offer or you can chose to do anything else on your own. So if you are looking to do a hot air balloon ride you may do so during that evening but you would have to book it on your own.
