This was hands down one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The company went out of its way to find a location to ensure more optimal weather for the ride. It was so serene to fly up and down and see Tuscany from air. The ride was incredibly smooth as was the landing. This was a bucket list experience for me and it delivered. Would absolutely recommend booking this ride.
From the very first moment, we knew this was going to be something truly special. The warm welcome at 5:30 a.m. immediately set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Every member of the team was exceptionally friendly, professional, welcoming, and full of good humor. They made everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and excited for what was to come. The balloon flight itself was simply breathtaking. Floating silently above the rolling Tuscan countryside as the sun slowly rose was one of the most beautiful and peaceful experiences we have ever had. The silence, the golden morning light, the spectacular views, and the feeling of gently drifting with the wind created a moment that is almost impossible to put into words. Our pilot was outstanding. Calm, highly skilled, experienced, and clearly passionate about what he does, he made the entire flight feel effortless and completely safe. From takeoff to landing, everything was absolutely flawless. After landing, we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast that was beautifully organized and the perfect ending to an already magical morning. Even the drive back to the launch site was fun and relaxing, filled with laughter, great conversations, great Italian music and the same genuine hospitality we had experienced from the very beginning. Every single detail was thoughtfully planned and executed with care. This was so much more than a hot air balloon ride, it was a complete experience. The warmth of the team❤️, the exceptional organization, the impeccable professionalism, and the unforgettable beauty of the flight came together to create something truly extraordinary. Thank you to the entire team for giving us memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Some experiences are beautiful, but this one was genuinely unforgettable. It exceeded every expectation we had. It was, without question, a perfect morning. Highly, highly recommended.
The entire staff thanks you so much. It was a pleasure meeting your family. Reviews like these fill us with joy and help us work even harder!
Thank you to the whole staff, What an experience, such a beautiful place and view, highly recommended
Terrific experience all around. We chose the pickup option, and our driver was already there when we arrived early in the morning. The ground crew were awesome, explaining everything as they prepared the balloon for our ride. There were twp balloons that day with 10 people in each. The ride itself was amazing! We were able to fly right over Siena because of the wind direction, which was very lucky! Our pilot was very competent and made us feel at ease for our first time. The scenery was breathtaking and I found the ride to be quite peaceful. The picnic breakfast was a lovely end to the experience! I would highly recommend this!
Our flight was rescheduled due to unexpected storms and safety concerns. The entire team handled the situation professionally and made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the process. They were extremely helpful and managed to get us in the air the very next day. The experience itself was amazing, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. To top it all off, the experience concluded with a delightful breakfast, making for a perfect ending to an unforgettable adventure.
Even though I wasn’t able to do my balloon ride due to inclement weather I would still very much like to pay my sincere compliments to the tour operator, Renato. He provided such excellent customer service…his genuine sense of caring and concern, his responsiveness and helpfulness all makes me definitely want to try to book another ride with him upon my return to Tuscany. Renato is a credit to Viator!
