Don't hesitate! It was an incredible experience. Our pilot Rafael was very kind and attentive; he speaks English, French, and Italian.
A wonderful experience. Our pilot Rafael was super friendly and professional, as was the entire team that accompanied us. Thanks also to Andrea for the warm welcome. Highly recommended.
We had so much fun, and we really enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Even though the wake-up call is very early, it is worth trying at least once in a lifetime.

Fantastic experience! The entire team was professional and welcoming. Pascal piloted our hot air balloon, giving us a pleasant and exciting experience together. Awesome!
Fantastic experience, I celebrated my birthday in a hot air balloon 😅, experience suitable for those like me who suffer from dizziness. The staff is super qualified and very helpful, a round of applause to our driver Guido took us to over 3000m high!!. A complete experience from start to finish, to close a great breakfast with local products and a beautiful drone video. Highly recommended
A wonderful experience to have at least once in a lifetime... it feels like flying together with the clouds. Staff very organized and very kind. The driver, Guido was impeccable both in answering our every question and also to put us at ease. Once the flight ended, a hearty local breakfast with typical Tuscan products to taste waited for us! Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommended 🤩
