Amazing hot air balloon experience near Sofia

We had a great experience with Sofun and the hot air balloon flight near Sofia. The team was very professional and communication with Tsvetan was excellent from start to finish. Our first flight had to be postponed because of the weather, but safety was clearly their priority and everything was handled very professionally. The flight itself was beautiful and peaceful, even if there was a bit of wind that made the landing a little hard. Still, it was an amazing experience with beautiful views and a great atmosphere. Thank you again to Tsvetan and the whole team — highly recommended if you are visiting Sofia!
