Bucket List Item Crossed Off - Our hot air balloon ride over the Tuscan countryside was stunning! We took a taxi from Florence out to a remote Tuscan meeting point. Met up with Carolina who picked us up and shuttled us to the hot air balloon location. Set up and orientation was quick and we we’re off the ground in no time. Luigi (perfect name btw for this supremely Italian experience) was our pilot with an expert ground crew following our balloon. We lucked out with weather….we had beautiful skies while floating over vineyards, olive groves, and charming villages. The flight was smooth and peaceful offering breathtaking panoramic views. Luigi was very professional and friendly. After about an hour, we landed in a large field just past a vineyard. Landing was soft and the ground crew found us within minutes of landing. They set us up with a table which had cold Prosecco and a tasty Italian home made breakfast overlooking the valley while waiting for the balloon to be packed up. All said and done; this was well worth the money…truly a once in a lifetime experience! Recommend to anyone considering. Gratzie to Luigi and the team for such a wonderful experience!

Wonderful and charming experience - Guido and Renato were responsive and kept communication open from the time we booked the hot air balloon to the evening before, to keep us updated on the weather forecast and provide exact coordinates. On the day itself, all of the crew members were friendly and helpful. I did the hot air balloon with my sister and 2 other friends, and since it was their first time, they were initially a little afraid but the safety briefing provided by the pilot Gigi (Guido?) made them feel at ease and they enjoyed the whole experience a lot. Views were extremely breathtaking, and we were thankful to be able to take many wonderful pictures against the sunshine and blue sky. The mini breakfast that was provided after consisted of tuscan bread, cheese, prosciutto ham and cheese with champagne (there's OJ for those who do not take alcohol) was definitely a nice touch to the end of the experience. All in all, a very smooth and pleasant experience. Will definitely recommend to anyone thinking of taking a hot air balloon ride in Tuscany!

Magnificent flight - The whole experience was great. I booked the option to pick up from my hotel. The driver was on time and friendly. We got to the field to take off. They did pre-flight and scouted the area for fog. After a short wait for the fog to burn off, we were a go. Seeing Tuscany from a balloon is serene. The landscape is magnificent. They event for drone videos of our flight. The quality is very good.

Unique Excursion - We were very nervous doing this experience, as it was our first time riding in a hot air balloon. However the staff was very warm and friendly and made us comfortable. It's a one in a lifetime adventure. The ride was smooth and surprisingly the landing wasn't bad either. Nice breakfast afterwards and I opted for the video and pictures which was helpful in case you are worried about losing your phone in the air. Overall, great excursion.

Great - The hot air balloon tour was great, no complaints; The view is breathtakingly beautiful comedy only drawback is that the Sun makes it so that you can't take great pictures & videos. But only for 30 minutes or so. After that it's smooth sailing.

Cancelled for weather when it was beautiful - We scheduled this excursion in advance and received a message from Renalto the day before our paid excursion, reporting the weather was bad and he had to cancel our balloon ride. However, the weather in Florence was beautiful today, with zero chance of precipitation and wind that was 4 mph from the southwest. When I reached out to Renalto to revisit our scheduled ballon ride, he did not respond to me. Neither have I been refunded for the $1200+ fee for 4 persons.
