5.00Just do it! This was a life experience and was spectacular! I am terrified of heights but the flight was great and I would do it again. Ivan was our pilot and his family served us so well. He knew I was scared so Ivan flew lower and it was amazing. The take off from Florence was fantastic and flight to the countryside was breath taking. Ivan is the best! My wife loved the experience and said this takes the cake on experiences that we have had together. Your entire family will love it. Do it!
The most romantic flight I could have taken!

5.00I had been hoping for a hot air balloon ride for ages! Ivan was very kind, accommodating my needs and commitments (I drove him crazy!). Gaia and her entire family were immediately professional and welcoming, as was the rest of the staff. We departed from the center of Florence; it felt like we could touch the dome of the Duomo and then off... towards Cerbaia. Surrounded by nature and silence, we enjoyed the journey slowly enough to savor everything, yet quickly enough not to get bored. The height of the hot air balloon allows you to see everything clearly, but you can also feel the height of the flight... I imagined it would be fantastic, but not this much! Very fun landing, with a lively yet sustainable and enjoyable experience. Final toast and the start of a day, without a doubt, filled with good cheer! I highly recommend it to everyone, even to Florentines like me. Thank you again for everything.
Great experience

5.00I had booked my flight for the first time in September 2024, but unfortunately, between one thing and another, I was no longer able to attend. Despite this, Ivan and his staff proved welcoming and helpful from the very first moment (even above my expectations), allowing me to make up for what I lost on a date of my choice, which I doubt anyone else would have done. Breathtaking experience, super recommended!

5.00It was a really exciting experience. Ivan, the driver, was outstanding, you can see he is very prepared. Admiring Florence from above is a wonder! You could see all the main monuments very well. The landing was soft, I almost did not realize it. I recommend it!
Wonderful hot air balloon ride

5.00It was a wonderful experience! The flight is very relaxing and we passed over the wonders of Florence.. Old bridge seen from above is something amazing ... The real difference is also made by the pilot who guided us and reassured us all the time as well as explaining exactly all the peculiarities of flying a hot air balloon! What about it? I highly recommend this experience and I recommend you do it with Ivan who is an experienced pilot with many years of activity behind him! I also recommend id do it on Florence because it is the most beautiful city in the world ♥️!
Superb experience!
