Just Wonderful! - What a wonderful experience for our honeymoon! We actually ended up taking off from Florence due to weather, but I think it was even better than what we originally booked. Seeing Florence like that was breathtaking. Highly recommend this!!!

Birthday gift - I booked this experience to give an alternative birthday present to my sister. Everything was fabulous, the gentle departure and landing, the view, the breakfast after landing, our pilot Guido of unparalleled skill and competence, who took care to explain to us the functions of use of the hot air balloon in every step. . An experience undoubtedly worth repeating in a group or as a couple, not at all dangerous and very pleasant. Furthermore, as the icing on the cake, they take videos and photos with the drone which can be purchased at the end of the experience. Highly recommended.

Poor service from local tour operator! - There was zero communications from the local tour operator regarding pickup and location of the tour starting point, and we never went on the tour due to the complete lack of communication!! Balloon Team Italia is not a responsible and good tour operator!
