Seeing the sunrise in Tuscany from a balloon. Just Wow. And the helpful staff and lovely pilot Guido just made it exceptional. Thank you.

I had the privilege of lifting off in a Montgolfiere/ hot air balloon this morning over the Chianti region in Tuscany. I booked the flight online only to find that I was unable to provide my own transportation due to the hours the parking facilities were open. When I contacted the montgolfier company they made alternate arrangements to have me picked up. I was greeted early by a very friendly driver who graciously answered all my questions. At the launch site, I was able to see firsthand the operation from laying out the balloon material, attaching it to the basket, and the cool air fill followed by the jetted fires to heat the air an fully inflate the balloon. The passengers and I were invited into the basket and given a safety talk. At which time we wafted in the silent morning sky with the sun cresting the Tuscan hills. The jets of heat were the only noises to break the peaceful and serene calm with which the Montgolfier traversed the sky over the landscape. Guido and his Pilot helper were knowledgeable and answered all questions raised by the participants. To top off the flight, a continental breakfast was shared and a delightful Italian Prosecco was used to toast the adventure. The ground crew packed up the balloon, loaded the basket onto the trailer and we were escorted by our pilot and helpers back to the initial launch site. This was my first time in a Montgolfier and my questions and fears were totally alleviated by the professionalism and hospitality afforded us by Guido and his team. They planted in me rhe confidence and desire to try this type of adventure in the future.

Due to high winds our tour over Florence was moved to Tuscany. What a treat. They made every effort to make up for the last minute change of plans. They were fun and professional and I can’t recommend them and this whole experience enough. Special thanks to Jacob and Gigi

Amazing experience. The balloon flight breath-taking beautiful. This is a must do if you visit Florence. Just a quick note, be prepare to arrange for transportation because the weather can change but you can get any taxi to go to the meeting place. The staff was also amazing.

They canceled the trip because of weather conditions and rescheduled for the day after, but they canceled again and I’m still waiting for the refund 😩

This was an amazing experience. Our pilot Orlando was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. The flight was approximately 15-20km with breathtaking views. The trip felt incredibly safe and the prosecco and pastries in the field where we landed were a fitting touch to wrap this experience up.

This trip was magical!! So worth it. For planning purposes, know that it gets cancelled early morning if there’s fog or bad weather. We had to reschedule for the following day.
