5.00The balloon ride was very well organized. Crew was great, explaining the mechanics of balloon flight. And we landed on a farmer’s plot and helped out in keeping the balloon and basket, which was an experience on its own. We celebrated the completion with champagne and certificates. Highly recommended if you want a unique experience.
What an amazing adventure.

5.00The fear of heights, immediately disappeared. We were made so comfortable from the minute we got to the site. We were a group of (older) Americans in a foreign country, with some apprehensions but Nick and his team made the morning totally unforgettable.
Breathtaking !

5.00Santi and his crew did a marvelous job ! My adult son and I found the experience truly breathtaking. It was so serene and beautiful. Exceeded our expectations ! They definitely take very good care of you. I would also recommend taking advantage of their pick up service. It was simple and seamless. We shared our flight with two young ladies originally from Barcelona and it was fun and interesting getting their perspective on our countries. Bottom line - just go ahead and book this tour right now - you will be amazed !
The pilot and assistants...

5.00Thanks to Nico and all the fabulous ballooning team for transporting us in the air and taking us up to admire the catalog between sea and mountain.. A sweet and magical experience that amazed our 14-year-old. We loved it.
