5.00This 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!

Overlooking Florence in a special way

5.00From the ground into the air, the moment the hanging basket gently left the ground, the whole of Florence suddenly became an open box of wonders. The morning light was flooding across the Yano River, dyeing the old bridge honey. The dome of the Hundred Flowers Cathedral is almost within reach -- Brunelleschi's design takes on an astonishing arc between the two. The high tower of the Palazzo Vecchio, a huge thing to look up to on a weekday, is at this moment like a delicate chess piece on a chessboard sprinkling from the air. The most amazing thing is the feeling of overlooking. Those labyrinthine alleyways, courtyards and rooftop gardens, details that take days to explore on the ground, are at the moment like an ancient map spread out, with stories hidden in every fold. The Tuscan wind gently pushes us over the roof, the whole city slowly awakens in the morning light, and the bells come from different directions in unexpected harmony. It's not just about "seeing the landscape," it's about really understanding why Florence nurtured the Renaissance - and it's only from this height that you can fully appreciate the incredible beauty of the city's planning and proportions and understand how those great minds were inspired by this pattern. Thank you to the pilot for his calm handling and detailed explanation, which made the flight both reassuring and full of discovery. This is definitely the most poetic way to experience Florence. If I come back in the future, I'll also choose to fly again at dusk to see what the setting sun looks like gilding the land. Make sure you book ahead, put on warm clothes and be ready for the 45 minutes of your life - because there's something beautiful that really needs to be distanced to see it all.
One of the most amazing experiences!

5.00Such an unforgettable morning with Ballooning in Florence! The team was friendly, professional, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. The flight itself was incredible - peaceful, smooth, and with the most breathtaking views of Florence and the Tuscan countryside. They also had drone footage available of the entire trip. Truly one of the best experiences I’ve had in Italy. Highly recommend!!
