My wife and I booked this experience as part of our visit to Florence. Originally we booked the flight that was supposed to go over parts of the city and then go to the countryside, but the wind conditions didn't allow flying over the city so we ended up flying over the Chianti valley. The company was completely fair, in allowing us to cancel due to the change in plan, and once we decided to still go, refunded the difference in prices between the two experiences, which are priced differently. They also arranged a pick-up from our hotel (inside the Florence ZTL) to the take-off field (and back).
The flight itself was lots of fun. Some amazing views of the countryside at dawn, and the crew and pilot were very experienced and professional. I was impressed by how organized everything was, how safe it felt, and how they did everything efficiently while still being very warm and friendly.
This was our first balloon ride and it was wonderful. I'd happily recommend the experience and the company to others.

Fantastic Experience
Fantastic experience made with my family (including the two 8-year-old twins).
An experience absolutely worth doing at least once in a lifetime, the fantastic staff from the welcome to the final goodbyes, always ready to give you a smile and convey joy.
Congratulations to all the staff, a special shout-out to the always courteous Renato, punctual in assistance, kind and smiling, and also to our super pilot "Tommy" who made our flight a fantastic experience with unforgettable simplicity and care. If two 8-year-old girls could do it, anyone can do it. Thank you all!!

Sadly cancelled because of wind
unfortunately, because of wind, the Florence Balloon ride was cancelled. Will have to try again on my next Florence visit. The refund was handled promptly. Correspondence on the trip and information was very timely and appreciated.

A carefree & fun emotion!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Not only for the location and favorable weather... you know, the balloon flight is beautiful, and in the valley of Chianti then! But a note of merit goes to all the staff, for the kindness, organization and above all the spirit with which he made us all live this adventure... we had a great time!
And they also organized a truly unique breakfast, with products of excellent quality!
Absolutely to repeat!

Amazing experience!
Amazing experience! The crew was passionate and very very friendly! The weather was phenomenal and we flew higher than we personally expected lol amazing views of the wine country, and Florence. Even the coast line off in the distance! Breakfast was beautifully set up, and absolutely delicious! The drone video they took was stunning and were really happy we were able to have that video (with pictures) as an amazing keepsake of the trip! Thank you guys so so much!!!

High altitude emotions
Hot air balloon experience just perfect.
Impeccable organization, extremely qualified staff and driver, professional and at the same time kind and helpful at all times. The flight over the Tuscan hills, in the area of San Casciano Val di Pesa, was something indescribable: breathtaking views, wonderful light and a truly unique feeling of peace and freedom.
To make everything even more special, a splendid breakfast on landing with local products, both sweet and savory, attention to detail.
An experience that I recommend without any doubt, to be lived at least once in a lifetime.

An authentic and “heavenly” experience
A true experience, in every sense.
I chose this company almost by chance, without knowing that it was the largest in Italy. I chose well.
The flight was postponed twice by wind — and each time the decision came without hesitation, without the gain weighing on the scales. For those with a background in aviation, like me, this is not a detail: it is the foundation.
I flew with my five-year-old girl, who dreamed of touching the sky. I saw her do it safely, alongside people — from first to last — exquisite, discreet, authentic. I was also lucky enough to exchange a few words with my fellow passengers, with all the people who played a decisive role in the experience, with the founder, present that day: the same measure and seriousness that is perceived throughout the organization.
At a time when finding true professionalism, honesty and human warmth in the same place is rare, this experience was a luxury. Not just for the sky above the Chianti Valley, but for the people who make you experience it.
Thank you all! See you soon 🌈
