Great experience to fly over Tuscany! We watched the sunrise in the sky. After a magical flight; we ate breakfast. This is a once in a lifetime experience!
Het was in één woord fantastisch, zo genoten met de opkomende zon. Over alle landschappen en wijngaarden. De gids legt verschillende dingen uit, welke stadjes iets over de wijnstreek ect. Aan het einde kun je foto’s bekijken en kopen mocht je geïnteresseerd zijn. Echt een ervaring die je bij blijft!
Duidelijke uitleg. Hele vriendelijke instructeurs! Onwijs gave ervaring!
The best thing we’ve ever done and my favourite part of my whole holiday by far! Everyone was so lovely & welcoming, our pilot was called Rafa and he was very funny making people feel calm, including myself who was a little nervous at first! Truly breathtaking views - to do this at sunrise just made the whole experience that much more incredible. We ended with champagne and breakfast with the group and the pilots which was lovely to all relax together. Drone also goes round so could purchase the photos and videos of your Flight which I did - amazing pictures to cherish forever! I would recommend this to anyone and one day I will definitely do it again I hope!
Great excursion and a wonderful morning with our pilot Rafael and the rest of the team! For awareness, the taxi was quite expensive (approx 80 Euros) and the Balloon company offered us a ride back to Florence for 60 Euros. Aside from these hidden costs, the entire experience was 10/10 as it was very safe and professional throughout. The breakfast afterward was also very good and had lots of fresh local ingredients. Would highly recommend and fly with them again!
A wonderful experience!!! Many thanks to the entire crew for the preparation, the great flight, and the breakfast afterwards. Really very professional and absolutely recommendable!!!
Definitely recommend to anyone traveling in Florence. The people are so kind and explain everything to you. I felt comfortable and was able to see such incredible views. Breakfast was delicious and transportation was easy. Incredible experience.
It was an unforgettable experience in every way! Clear briefing in advance, via email, and expectations. Upon arrival, we registered and received an explanation about the balloon flight. Once in the gondola, we received a thorough explanation from the balloon pilot, Pascal. He explained about the balloon and, in particular, how to position ourselves for landing. During the 'flight', we enjoyed the view and the ease with which the hot air balloon was 'steered'. After landing, we were driven back to the starting point and were treated to a delicious Italian-style breakfast. In short, highly recommended!
