          I had the worst experience that I hope no one has to go through... The #enkatravel agency was the worst... Due to the weather the balloon could not be made and the agency moved it to Ihlara which is 85km, more than 1 hour from Capadoccia and is a canyon What people told us is not worth it, we paid €250 per person, I was traveling with older adults and the transfer was very difficult, they did not return any of the money to us because in their closure it indicates that there is no refund if the balloon cannot be made If not, it is moved to another location, what it does not say is that it is so far away and that it is not worth it because it is a closed canyon, the price is not the same. On the tours ALL the people told us that they DID get their money back, of course none of them were with Enka Travel. Don't put your money at risk, most agencies do return your money and indicate it in their clause. — me siento decepcionada.

          Great quality of services and very reliable.
          Great services including the transfers, the boutique hotel Ncs and his owner Emir who was so pleasant and personable. The drivers so skilled to drive and very polite. The tour guides very knowledgeable and as they were local, we could experience Capadoccia through their eues. The ballon tour was stunning and the team knew exactly what to do- always felt we were in expert hands. Last but not least, Berka who was my go-to counselor via whattsapp and was there throughout out journey, always timely in making sure we were doing fine.

          Horrible
          I am sorry to say that I was not satisfied at all, our tour was arranged for Tuesday, but they changed it a day before for Wednesday and it was not at all as written, we had a transfer, they did not come and pick us up in the morning and did not leave us in front of the hotel in the evening, they dropped us off in the middle of the road and moreover, there was no air conditioning. You can arrange the cruise tour I did for a cheaper price here, definitely do not buy from here.

          Scammer - avoid at all costs
          The tour was entirely not as described - we went to some valleys and caves but they were not the most significant sites described (eg itinerary said Kaymakli, tour went to Ozkonak) and at many locations we only got a view from a distance of the area, rather than going to the area itself (eg the Uchisar castle stop was not going to the castle where they’d have had to pay an entry fee, but just looking at it from some distance). The longest part of the tour was spent at scammer locations where we were dropped off for extended periods of time to be harassed by pressure sales tactics into buying hugely overpriced fake goods - we would have in no way have booked this tour if these “shopping” activities were booked. We contacted the provider in writing to complain after complaining directly to the tour guide and he was rude and strident in saying they would do nothing to change the tour or how they falsely describe it online. Finally - note the minibus was in a state of disrepair, lots of cracks/tears in the seats and the bus was very hot.

          Tour Canceled Last Minute
          These people are horrible! 1st no communication! I had to have my hotel call them because they would not confirm. An hour before the tour my hotel got ahold of them, and they confirmed, only for them to cancel 20 min later. We missed out on other tours in our short time in cappadocia. 2nd Canceled 10 min before our schedualed time. What a disappointment for my family as now all other tours have departed. Please do yourself a favor and do not rely on these lousy people

          Untrustworthy, book direct.
          Unprofessional and dishonest. Simply put, confirmed a hot air balloon tour in Goreme through this agency with the standard going price. The tours the day prior to our flight were cancelled, and as a result we were told that we would have to pay €50 euro more per person. The agency simply hold spots on balloon tours and as such were taking advantage of the limited availability to find another tour at such short notice. Book direct.

          I can only recommend it!
          The tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained very well all the main points on the tour. He could also answer all of our questions and was very open to answering difficult questions at any point. The tour guide went very smoothly and we had enough time to visit all the sites, walk around them, and enjoy the scenic views. Definitely recommend it for anyone travelling around Cappadocia!

          I don’t recommend booking this tour
          They canceled my trip after a week of booking without any reasons given. I just looked and they weee still available for booking but with double the price. Now I have to pay a lot more money for new booking somewhere else because it’s last minute. Don’t book with them, they are scam and they will ruin your vacation plans.

          Ruined trip
          We purchased a small group hot air balloon trip which said had a maximum of 16 people. Had spent lots of time choosing what we thought was the right trip but sadly not. When it came to the trip it actually was a 28 people hot air balloon. This was booked through getyourguide , kaya balloons with enkatravel. Personally not impressed by this at all. Definitely felt like our once in a lifetime trip was ruined. Would not recommend.

        I don't even know where to start!!

        Usually dirty30's are supposed to be well thought and booked greatly in advance. last month I researched best places to travel in July, and there it was! Turkey was on the top 20 list which was the closest to Dubai and most affordable in my opinion.

        I stumbled across Enka Travel on TripAdvisor where I saw the 2 day Cappadocia Tour which I had to book right there and then. We booked the tour including the Hot Air Balloon ride; which I highlight, by far the most memorable experience I've ever had in my life so far. Gracefully floating in the air with the breath taking views of nature!!!! along side tons of other balloons in the air, warmth of the sun rise, with the presence of your love next to you... What more could you ask for! <3

        First of all we would like to thank MUSTAFA, our guide for the two days. Very knowledgeable, laid back, made us feel very comfortable and not exaggerating like other tour guides can be. He was a natural.

        Secondly, the hot air balloon ride. You so can't skip this when you are in Cappadocia. it is a MUST indeed. Made me fall in love with Turkey more and more. Honestly words can't explain how great the whole experience was. Our pilot was also a lady!!! Kudos to her :)

        Third, the cave hotel they had booked us in, called Nostalgi, such a warm and friendly atmosphere overall. I can't highlight one person honestly, the whole team was amazing. They deserve more exposure!!!

        Lastly, I was amazed on how Time Management was somehow strict in Turkey in general. When they say 0430, expect them to be earlier or on the dot. I loved how professionally everything was dealt with. You can't get this much in other countries!!

        Kudos to Enka Travel and the team!! You've made my 30th Birthday my most memorable. <3
