What a great experience! We had booked the ballon ride and it turned out to be a remarkableq¹1 experience, including a spectacular landing and a trailer that had to be turned by muscle power. All this was accompanied by a professional team and a professional boss, Peter. And then, a special compliment to the "Residenza del Pilota" where you can stay when you have a flight booked. We thought it would be a simple bed and breakfast but what we found was a beautiful and spacious apartment with a smashing pool. All this was accompanied by hospitality, friendliness and geneeo. Chapeau!!
A beautiful experience: very professional crew and an engaging pilot… and then seeing this landscape from a completely different perspective… great!
Sehr gut! Wir sind auch sehr glueklich. Vielen Dank! Ihr Pilot, Peter
Peter was our pilot, tour guide, comedian and host. He has a talented and capable crew to make this happen. I added the pickup and delivery service, our driver was early and ready to roll. We went up to 4500’ to get out of the wind shadow of the mountain and drifted across the valley. Beautiful trip, very scenic.
Yes, it is all true! While our Captain Peter is one of the most expereinced pilots in the world, he can also be quite funny...I am glad that you found our crew professional and well organised. See you next time!
An extraordinary experience! Such a wonderful way to see the beautiful landscape of Tuscany. Peter, the pilot, is so fun! And the breakfast and wines afterward were at a gorgeous winery with amazing views!!
While our Captain Peter is one of the most experienced pilots in the world, he can also be quite funny... By the way, we fly in Umbria, at Assisi (only a few miles from the Tuscany border), however many of our passengers in deed stay in Tuscany. Many thnaks for your wonderful comments!
The experience with the hot air balloon was very nice , nice and preracked staff and an exciting flight . me and my filgia were very happy. however communication with Viator was complicated we thought we would be picked up by Ballon staff directly at the farm but only by chance we found that the pick up was not provided in the price paid despite it was written on the voucher and we had to reorganize ourselves. advice to pay close attention to the information of viator
Sono felice che il volo in mongolfiera ti sia piaciuto! Mi dispiace per l'inconveniente con Viator. Sono un'agenzia che opera su commissione, quindi non abbiamo il pieno controllo sulle loro comunicazioni! Il trasporto non è mai incluso nel prezzo, a meno che non lo si richieda espressamente! Ci scusiamo ancora, ma non è stata colpa di Balloon Adventures Italy.
Excellent organized, the instructor Meiter is amazing!!! He is funny, smart and explaining, the breakfast was nice, the place was breathtaking.
Thank you for the glowing review! I shall share it with our Captain Peter
It was a truly unique gift. A trip to take at least once in a lifetime. The weather conditions were perfect! A beautiful sunrise with a unique panorama. We climbed very high equal to Monte Subasio. The excellent skill of the pilot Peter meant that the landing was perfect. The professionalism also of the very experienced and close-knit team. Very nice also the breakfast provided at the Dionigi Winery with excellent wines and excellent dishes. Advice.
Sono davvero felice che abbiate apprezzato così tanto l'intera esperienza. Sebbene la zona in cui voliamo sia meravigliosa, il vino e il cibo della Cantina Dionigi sono altrettanto squisiti. Speriamo di rivedervi presto!
Fantastic views of the Umbrian countryside and excellent pilot. The post ride breakfast and wine tasting was quite nice and a great surprise.
Thank you very much! Quite a few passengers told us that they were " surprised " by the breakfast and wine tasting that we provide after the flight. Obviously we have to put more emphasis on that part of the experience in our marketing! Umbria really is a great combination of wonderful sceenery and great food / wine.
From the booking with Alya to Peter picking us up from the train station, to making sure our accommodations were perfect to the best and most safe hot air balloon ride. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Truly 10 out of 10!!!!! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our experience.
Wow! 10 out of 10. We are really happy to hear that. Thank you.
Flying with Ballon Adventures was a truly perfect experience! The very nice pilot described in detail the operation of the balloon and everything we could admire from up there. He and the crew showed the utmost professionalism and were very precise in the organization. The weather gave us a day with maximum visibility and excellent wind. The actual flight lasted about an hour and upon landing we enjoyed a breakfast with wine tasting in the nearby winery. Also the stay at the Residence of the pilot was magnificent: brand new apartment, really equipped with everything and with pool outside the window. Highly recommended experience!!!
Ci impegniamo al massimo per avere un equipaggio coeso e professionale, perché crediamo che sia essenziale anche per la sicurezza! A proposito, il Capitano Peter è uno dei piloti più esperti al mondo, con 4500 voli all'attivo. La residenza del pilota si trova a pochi metri dal nostro sito di decollo, quindi potrete raggiungere la vostra mongolfiera a piedi la mattina. Grazie mille per l'ottima recensione!
