It was a perfect flight,...

It was a perfect flight, with a very calm takeoff and landing thanks to Francesco's expertise. Feeling suspended over those valleys without any noise, and only hearing in the distance the sound of the bells from a flock of sheep. Stunning!!!

Such a special experience that is hard to put into words. Our pilot Francesco was entertaining and very knowledgeable of the area. The breakfast was such a nice touch with a spread of delicious local food and prosecco. The Tuscan countryside made for a beautiful backdrop to a once in a lifetime experience, cannot recommend this enough.

Tuscany Balloon Private Tour

From start to finish, the experience was pure magic. Imagine gently floating above the stunning Tuscany, with vineyards, green fields, mountains, the sun rising and other balloons. The views were straight out of a postcard, and I loved every second of it. The guide was really friendly and also took a lot of great photos! The landing was smooth, and we ended the adventure with a delightful toast of Prosecco and some local snacks. It was the perfect end to an unforgettable morning.

Private Balloon Ride Val d'Orcia

Wonderful experience. Beautiful, peaceful private balloon flight across the Val d'Orcia from Pienza to Montepulciano. The whole team was very professional. The picnic breakfast at the landing spot was also very nice. Would highly recommend.
