Our family had such a wonderful experience on the hot air balloon ride during sunrise. There was no delay and everything was so efficient. The views were breathtaking and the whole journey felt magical. Everything was well organized, safe, and smooth, and we could just relax and enjoy the countryside scenery. The family was so happy with this unforgettable experience . We highly recommended this very special activity

It was awesome! My wife and I went up, we were with 3 other people, but that was perfect because they could take our photo. We went about 5,000 ft up and you could see the whole landscape

This experience had been on my bucket list for years, and we were lucky enough to make it happen—last minute, no less! Our original booking (with a different company) was cancelled due to weather, but we managed to sign up the day before with this amazing team. Since we didn’t have a rental car, we opted for hotel pickup and drop-off, which worked out perfectly. About half the group did the same, while the rest drove themselves to the launch site. We received clear communication the night before with details on when to be ready, and at 5 a.m., we were picked up for the ~20-minute drive just outside the city. We arrived at an open field where a team of over six crew members was already busy preparing the hot air balloon. Watching the entire inflation process—from a flat bundle on the ground to a fully upright, majestic balloon—was absolutely fascinating. I was amazed by just how massive it was in person. Our group included 16 passengers and two crew members for the roughly one-hour flight. The views were breathtaking, and the duration felt just right—not too short, not too long. After a smooth landing, we celebrated with a light spread of bread, cheese, meats, and prosecco—a lovely touch to wrap up the experience. Then we were driven back to our hotel.All in all, it was an unforgettable adventure and the perfect way to take in the scenic beauty from above. Highly recommend!
