Wonderful and charming experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Guido and Renato were responsive and kept communication open from the time we booked the hot air balloon to the evening before, to keep us updated on the weather forecast and provide exact coordinates. On the day itself, all of the crew members were friendly and helpful. I did the hot air balloon with my sister and 2 other friends, and since it was their first time, they were initially a little afraid but the safety briefing provided by the pilot Gigi (Guido?) made them feel at ease and they enjoyed the whole experience a lot. Views were extremely breathtaking, and we were thankful to be able to take many wonderful pictures against the sunshine and blue sky. The mini breakfast that was provided after consisted of tuscan bread, cheese, prosciutto ham and cheese with champagne (there's OJ for those who do not take alcohol) was definitely a nice touch to the end of the experience. All in all, a very smooth and pleasant experience. Will definitely recommend to anyone thinking of taking a hot air balloon ride in Tuscany!

Magnificent flight

Published on Jan, 2025

The whole experience was great. I booked the option to pick up from my hotel. The driver was on time and friendly. We got to the field to take off. They did pre-flight and scouted the area for fog. After a short wait for the fog to burn off, we were a go. Seeing Tuscany from a balloon is serene. The landscape is magnificent. They event for drone videos of our flight. The quality is very good.

Unique Excursion

Published on Nov, 2024

We were very nervous doing this experience, as it was our first time riding in a hot air balloon. However the staff was very warm and friendly and made us comfortable. It's a one in a lifetime adventure. The ride was smooth and surprisingly the landing wasn't bad either. Nice breakfast afterwards and I opted for the video and pictures which was helpful in case you are worried about losing your phone in the air. Overall, great excursion.

Amazing
