They sent a WhatsApp message the night before confirming the experience was going ahead, and details of the meeting point. We drove our rental car and arrived at 5.45am as instructed, and they were just starting to inflate the balloon with air which is a very cool process to watch. Other people arrived by transfer vans. Shoe covers provided which were good as we had to walk through grassy slightly damp fields at the start and end (only for like 100 metres not far at all). We were loaded up into 4 quadrants of the basket, given instructions on how to brace ourselves when it came time to land, and up we went. You can ask the pilot questions when up in the air but otherwise most of time everyone was silent taking in the views. Landing was a bit bumpy but fine. Nice little Italian breakfast provided after we landed (Prosecco or juice, pastries, sliced meat and cheese). Then we were driven back to the original take-off point which was about 20-30 mins away from where we ended up landing. Others went back to where their transfers picked them up from. Francesco was a fantastic and experienced pilot, happy to answer questions, always looked calm on the outside, friendly to talk to. All the ground staff and support staff were super friendly as well! This company was the best one from what I saw of other balloons around us in terms of service/experience.
Excellent Flight

Fantastic experience. We had to communicate with them last minute regarding transport to and from the hotel and they were very responsive. Our pilot was very good and a true professional committed to safety. The views were great, and the snacks at the end were a nice way to end the tour.
