Unforgettable flight experience from Balão, over Monsaraz, Mourão and Albufeira do Alqueva in all its splendor. Enjoying the magnificent sunrise on Monsaraz. Gozez the flight, calm, to the taste of the wind. The Windpassanger staff was very friendly and helpful. The Guido demonstrated a fantastic mastery in handling the ancient art of flying, landing smoothly in the Alentejana plain.
Fantastic!!

there are not that many reviews in Viator because the app makes it really difficult to find the right page to do a review... I stumbled on the right combination of clicks by accident. The experience is absolutely phenomenal, five stars. Guido is the pilot and he has been flying for more than 25 years, I am a pilot and in watching him and talking to him I can reassure people that he is extremely competent and safe and fun to do the ride with. It's a spec spectacular area with spec, spectacular scenery and just an all-around worth it experience by far.
Unforgettable experience

Very soft! Go without fear! Experience to repeat. From the beginning the camaraderie with the staff and participation in the lides of"domar" the balloon. The flight over the Alqueva albufera and the beautiful airlandscapes made even more interesting by the humour of the pilot. In the end, whoever wanted and could helped empty the huge "coloured beast". For those who like photography, this is an experience where you get images for all kinds of sensitivities. Go, that's really worth it ☺️
An unforgettable and very safe experience

The four of us (2 couples) booked a trip with the balloon and had Guido the owner of the Company as our pilot. A very experienced and pleasant person who answered all of the (sometimes quite technical/safety related) questions we had and treated us on a super sunrise ride from Monsaraz. We received good safety instruction and training before we boarded and had a nice wrap-up drink with his very helpful and professional "ground staff" after we made our (obviously) safe landing ! It was the first time for all of us, but definitely worth a repeat.
Terrific company for hot air balloon

We were fortunate enough to have our ride with the owner Gido (hopefully spelling this correctly). It was just 3 of us and one of my daughters is afraid of heights. He was amazing with her and discussing in detail his experience and how he controls the balloon. It was at sunrise and we had the most amazing views over Portugal. Highly recommend and highly recommend this company.
