We highly recommend this adventure! It was a perfect morning. We met wonderful people and the weather was so perfect we landed without a bump before the ground crew even caught up with us.

We were scheduled to take a hot air balloon flight and I was so excited to surprise my husband, and unfortunately needed to cancel at the last minute. The Balloon team was so kind and understanding and luckily I was able to get a full refund. Thank you again, we look forward to booking again and actually taking a tour another time!

What a beautiful experience! It was a first time for each of us and at the end, we swore it wouldn't be a last! The team was extremely professional, thorough and made us all feel safe and comfortable. The communication was excellent, our balloon pilot explained every step, procedure and even what and why of what he was doing with the balloon and controlling the direction. Sunrise over the Tuscan hillside was an experience that shouldn't be missed and doing it from the air in a peaceful balloon was a trip of a life time. We had a smooth landing and watched the ground crew work with such precision to pack up the balloon, load up the basket all while eating a selection of pastries, meats and cheeses with prosecco. The entire experience was amazing!

The guides were warm, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The most memorable time in the balloon was floating above the fluffy clouds.

Zachary_Y

Do it!!! Hands down one of the coolest experiences I’ve done. I rank this up there with skydiving in the Swiss Alps. 100% worth the money!

Julia_A

Booked this and was absolutely the most memorable part of the whole trip. Went with my husband, mother and sister. We felt so safe during the whole process. If you can do it, I highly recommend you do!
