We had an absolutely amazing experience with Ivan and his family. They really made this experience special. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is on the fence.

I 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!

It 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!

It 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 ♥️!

We had a truly unforgettable experience! I gave this balloon flight to my wife for her birthday and she was delighted. We started from Florence and, thanks to a beautiful sunny day, we could admire the city from above in all its glory: a breathtaking view that we will hardly forget. Flying over Florence in this way is something unique. The journey then continued over the wonderful Chianti hills, through vineyards and postcard landscapes, until landing near Cerbaia. Everything was impeccably organized, with great professionalism and attention. An exciting, relaxing and absolutely recommended experience. We were really very satisfied! Marco

This by far was an experience of a lifetime! I would do it again in any city in a heartbeat! The guides were fluent in English along with other languages, very fun and knowledgeable and the experience was phenomenal! It may seem like the cost is high but I can assure you it was worth every penny! I would do it over again in any instant! This group was the absolute best!
