Unique experience!

Torsten_T, Sep 2026

Everything was prepared by an experienced team. The start takes place relatively quickly.First the journey goes via Florence and then via green Tuscany.😃 Ivan the pilot is always available to answer any questions you may have. He knows the area very well. The team takes photos and videos from the start, which are then provided. It was a great experience.😃👍🏻

Amazing way to see Florence

Terrific experience. Beautiful ride over the amazing countryside and all of Florence. We had beautiful weather. Well worth the trip! The after flight prosecco and light snacks were just perfect!

Great family experience!...

Great family experience! I'm glad I picked this hot air balloons ride over others since it flew over both Florence and the Tuscan countryside and it was wonderful flying over both. Ivan is very nice and experienced. My family including two children ages 5 and 11 all had a great time. I would recommend this excursion to anyone.

Do it!

Just do it! This was a life experience and was spectacular! I am terrified of heights but the flight was great and I would do it again. Ivan was our pilot and his family served us so well. He knew I was scared so Ivan flew lower and it was amazing. The take off from Florence was fantastic and flight to the countryside was breath taking. Ivan is the best! My wife loved the experience and said this takes the cake on experiences that we have had together. Your entire family will love it. Do it!

🎵 All the way up 🎵
