For riders who would rather go out in daylight or cannot get an evening slot, with the same Sword, Love and Rose valley run, an English-speaking guide, helmets and hotel pick-up; refreshments and gratuities are extra.

The best-kitted ride of the six for the money, listing helmet, oil, gloves and mask plus an air-conditioned vehicle, and the one to take if you want the dust covered before you leave the hotel.

Built around photography rather than speed, with four photo stops at Rose and Red valleys, Sword Valley, the Çavuşin old villages and Love Valley, drifting prohibited, and hotel pick-up from Göreme and Çavuşin only, 30 minutes before the start.

Every ride on this page lasts 2 hours and goes out in the late afternoon, so the last stretch runs with the sun low over the tuff. The ground is the same country the balloons cross at dawn: Love Valley, Rose Valley and Red Valley, the Büyük and Küçük Kılıçlar valleys immediately north of the village, and the cave houses at Çavuşin, about 5 km north of Göreme. Distances are short, and most of the two hours goes on riding slowly between photo stops rather than covering kilometres.
Start times move with the date. Atv Sunset Tour in Cappadocia spells out the pattern the others follow: the ride begins almost two hours before sunset, and the hotel pick-up is 30 minutes before the tour starts. That means a mid-afternoon collection in December and an early-evening one in June, so check the exact hour for your date rather than assuming a fixed time.
Helmets come with all six. Cappadocia Sunset Guided ATV-QUAD Tours goes furthest on kit, listing helmet, oil, gloves and mask plus an air-conditioned vehicle, while Sunset ATV Tour in Cappadocia adds a raincoat and leaves gloves, bandana, glasses and photos off the list. Food and drinks are excluded everywhere here, and tips or gratuities are excluded on two of the tours.
The valleys are dusty and the dust goes on your face, your phone and whatever you are wearing. Bring a bandana or mask if your tour does not supply one, wear closed shoes with flat soles rather than sandals, and carry a layer for the ride back: the average daily minimum at the Nevşehir station is 5.1°C in April and 6.8°C in October, and the air cools quickly once the sun is off the rock.
An evening quad ride is also the standard fallback when the balloons do not go up. Balloons flew on 223 days in Cappadocia in 2025, which leaves roughly 140 days with no flights at all, and March and April are the windiest months and the weakest for take-off clearance. Two hours from $11 fills that gap without eating a whole day of your trip.
Staying in Ürgüp, Avanos or Uçhisar: take the Cappadocia 2-Hours Sunset ATV Quad Tour, from $40. It lists pick-up and drop-off from Cappadocia area hotels, a safety briefing and instruction session, an English-speaking guide and the full run past Swords Valley, Rose and Red valleys, Çavuşin and Love Valley, and it has by far the largest review count at 4.9 ★ (1447 reviews).
Watching the budget: the Sunset ATV ride through the valleys costs $11 for the same 2 hours, with an English-speaking guide, helmet and transfers. You are asked to arrive at Cappadocia Phoenix Travel in Göreme 15 minutes before your scheduled time for registration, so leave the hotel earlier than you would for a door-to-door pick-up.
Sleeping in Göreme or Çavuşin and shooting photos: Atv Sunset Tour in Cappadocia, from $30, picks up in those two areas only and builds the ride around four photo stops. Drifting is prohibited on this one because of the hills and rocks, which is the right call on those tracks.
Want the gear handled: Cappadocia Sunset Guided ATV-QUAD Tours, from $26 and rated 5.0 ★ (480 reviews), supplies helmet, oil, gloves and mask and moves you in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Evening slots full, or you simply prefer daylight: Cappadocia ATV Safari runs the Sword, Love and Rose valley route by day or at sunset, from $40, with an English-speaking guide, helmets and hotel pick-up.
Already in the centre of Göreme with no need for a transfer: Sunset ATV Tour in Cappadocia starts opposite Çiner Hotel, from $38, and includes a raincoat with the helmet.
