You will sail at a height varying from 500 feet to 3000 feet, depending on the wind of that day. All this will allow you to admire the breathtaking landscape of Tuscany. You'll see gentle hills dotted with pretty Italian villages, cypress trees, dominant castles and abundant vineyards, olive groves and orchards. You will see all that nature will want to show you. It will be a real adventure. Upon landing, we will toast this experience with a glass of sparkling wine!

- dougwrightca0 contributionsGreat experienceWhat a great way to start the day in Tuscany. There were 4 balloons so you could see the balloons in action as you rose in yours. Champagne and breakfast at the end.Written 19 October 2024
- K1480UFsueg0 contributionsAmazing views and fabulous experience.Magnificent! What a wonderful morning. Pickup/return from hotel in Florence was easy to arrange and on time. Watching the balloons be prepared for flight as the sun rose over the valley was exciting. Our pilot Gigi skilfully guided our basket over the hillside and upwards to the most beautiful view of Tuscany. After landing we were given a champagne breakfast with the most amazing pastries 🥐. I highly recommend this adventure company as they are very efficient, excellent communication, reasonably priced and the pilot and support crew were amazing. 🤩Written 19 October 2024
- Grace L0 contributionsMost memorable hotair balloon ride!The ride flies over the scenic landscape in Siena region and the Piazza del Compo and the old town. The pilot is of terrific skills and very knowledgeable who makes our trip most memorable. It worths every cents we paid. Give a go if you have time.Written 27 August 2024
- C743IJjessicas0 contributionsAmazing Experience!! And Even more Amazing Proposal!!!This was on my bucket list and it truly was an amazing experience! The staff were incredible and made the entire experience extra special. Our Pilot was funny and professional, they did drone photography which was epic and they also arranged with my boyfriend to pull off a successful proposal that was just perfect!! They made an extra private picnic for us after that really topped it off! Thank you guys so much for everything, it was great having you all part of this experience for us to always remember!Written 7 July 2024
- petereD7661SU0 contributionsGorgeous ballonflight over Chianti regionWhat a perfect ballon experiment we had with Guido and his team. The morning flight was breathtaking. All was perfectly organised. We feld very save and comfortable. Not only the flight but also the prosecco and Tuscan bites served after the flight made it complete. Chapeau!!! GuidoWritten 4 July 2024
- Rolf_Alice0 contributionsHot Air Balloon Goreme is a MUSTFamous, they are - the balloon rides in/around Goreme. They cost something, as well and despite an historically low TR. But if you look at the organisation - and why should they reduce anyway - then, this all falls correct. We left our Hotel Manager to organize - and he chose well. Not too early (well, 4:40 a.m. but could have been worse 😉), we were picked up and brought to the start place. Breakfast served, while the crew and balloon rumbled in to get ready (took about half an hour + until - but as many others in the area in different stages, not a moment of boredom). Then boarding and soon being air borne. No clue, what time does to the balloon captains - we were not first and were not last in a vast amount of different balloons up, got up very high and had to opportunity to see lots of balloons diving into the Love Valley. We were getting worried, being in a balloon remainig high - when our captain Umit Ugur (brothersballoon.com) dove for it and showed his skills and the maneuverability of these hot air balloons. We could have jumped out at times, being so close to the ground, almost have touched the stones, observed birds living in the caves, ziggzacked through the pilons to finally lift over the observation platform ... and landed on the trolley attached to the off-roader pulling and positioning it, while the balloon still high. And while we climbed out and getting a proseco round, the balloon was taken down and stowed. Umit told us, we have had very good conditions, having allowed us not perfect views and rides, but also climbing unusually high and quick. Frankly a perfect trip - and definitely a MUST, being in Goreme (save money somewhere else, if ). We all greatly enjoyed the balloon trip.Written 15 June 2024
- Y468MUlauran0 contributionsThe views were AMAZING! The staff were friendly and attentive. The breakfast and toast afterwards was great also.This was our first balloon ride and we loved it!

Was absolutely breathtaking. So much more beautiful than I ever expected. We paid extra for the hotel pickup and drop off and I was glad for it because it was a bit farther drive than I was expecting (45 min) but the driver was friendly and got us there perfectly. The balloon flight was like nothing I’ve done before and the pilot was very knowledgeable and gave us a nice smooth ride. Would DEFINITELY recommend!!

This was our first balloon trip, and it was magical. In fact, the whole experience from booking, through to getting a ride back to our starting point was very pleasant.
I cannot say enough good things about our pilot Tommaso, who took us up in the air, varied the trip through different elevations and his textbook landing. I was also glad we opted to pay a little more to have less passengers on board.
Thank you, Tommaso and the entire Balloon Team Tuscany.

The World as I had never seen it!
The balloon really has a respectful, quiet and elegant way of passing over the valleys and meadows.
I thought I was scared but I never wanted to go down!
The Balloon Team staff is friendly and professional, a team of passionate and prepared boys and girls, we flew with Guido Montemurro multiple Italian champion. Una vera fortuna!
We all deserve to live such an experience!
Spero di poterla rifare presto!
ps. we are at dawn but I assure you that it is worth it!

Our Italia balloon team did an amazing job!
The perfect landing in the unaware farmers very very small area of his field was insanely cool!!
Another wish off my bucket list!!!!
The experience was breathtaking!
Never would have imagined we would float up through the clouds to over 3,000 feet… we were speechless! Then watching the next balloon pop up out of the clouds after us, there are no words!

It was a long time that I wanted to do this experience I finally found Baloon and what about fantastic. Perfect organization very nice and professional and flying in a hot air balloon is something that must be done at least once in a lifetime. Beautiful feelings... see the earth from above... see the sun rise... the endless fields below us..the streams...I recommend

Our pilot ( the x pharmacist) was hilarious and completely made our trip. The scenery was spectacular and the views to die for. If you’ve ever wondered how a hot air balloon lands book this experience.

What an amazing experience, I couldn’t believe it. It is a very surreal feeling floating above the beautiful landscape. The flight went incredibly smooth and so did our landing. A bottle of champagne and some pastries were provided after our trip. Highly recommend this experience, it’s absolutely wonderful.

We loved this experience! We were lucky to have wonderful weather and views. Although you need to get to the site really early, and the specific site will not be confirmed until the night before, it’s totally worth it!! The views are spectacular and the staff is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I am not a height person but the ride is so gentle and peaceful I would definitely do it again. The Prosecco and breakfast were very good! Chantilly bread super delicious. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes as landing can be in a surprise spot! Thanks to our guide Guido from Matera!
