Amazing experience! If you’re not afraid of heights this is a must do! Very professional and genuinely friendly crew, very competent pilot (we had Manuk), and incredibly beautiful, peaceful experience. Breathtaking views!!! Definitely recommend!
It is not like you imagine - a flight with a balloon. After trying different activities, we can say that the balloon ride was truly pleasant. It was really well organized, with pickup, a sparkling glass and some fruit snacks at the end. We really loved it and recommend it, mentioning also that Manuknis a great professional. :)

Everything from first communication to the incredible adventure up in the sky was simply perfect. The communication via instagram was super easy, fast and kind. The organization and pick-up from the Skyball Team was planned perfectly and therefore everything went super smooth. We got a warm welcome from the Skyball Team once we arrived at the balloon. After a short safety briefing in English, our Pilot Manuk took us up in the air. We felt safe at all time and were impressed how he managed all of it. The view up in the sky and the whole balloon ride was simply breath-taking and we would recommend it to everyone who is looking for an unforgettable and super special experience. Up in the sky Manuk had a few surprises for us, which made everything even more special! (Come and find out ;)) The landing was super smooth and we didn't realize till then that an hour has passed already. There was another surprise waiting for us on the ground, totally unexpected but truly heartwarming. Overall the Skyball Team was so kind and thoughtful. This was a once in a lifetime adventure and we would recommend it to everyone. Book it today, you won't regret it!

The most unforgettable moments I have ever felt were created with the help of Skyball. Thanks a lot to the staff for being so attentive towards us, for creating such warm atmosphere, special thanks to instructor Vahe, who filled our flight with humor, for providing interesting facts about the flights and surroundings. We will undoubtedly revisit this place.

It was the most amazing experience we ever had in life not only due to baloon ride itself , but mostly about the service the guys are providing it’s just beyond all our expectations. Manuk our pilot organised everything so well every detail , he felt the mood of guests and adjust to make it memorable experience. Once we landed in the field the table with fruit platter champagne and refreshing drinks were there . Everything went so smooth so light, guys make atmosphere unforgettable. I can say I’m the most lazy person to write a reviews. But here I cannot skip it . If to rate it from 1-10 I would give 1000 for the service ! Thank you a lot a lot to make our birthday unforgettable ! You are absolutely amazing ! Special big thanks from heart to Manuk for being so sweet and joyful !
