5.00Very nice. It hardly seems to move. The snowy mountain range was beautiful, and the fields. It was a great day and the flight was great.

5.00Sunrise over Segovia by hot air balloon was amazing. Cava and iberico ham and manchego at landing. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
An amazing experience.

5.00Absolutely LOVED the hot air balloon experience. I felt in safe hands with all staff and pilot, Carlos. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped back off again. We had brunch, which was a glass of fizz with the option of juice for non drinkers. Had a selection of dips, crackers, cheese, and meats. It was delicious. We had an award ceremony, we collected our certificates and had a photo with the pilot. We also had photos taken before and a video taken while we were in the air. I would highly recommend doing this experience. The only fault.. there were no toilet facilities and found it a long time to go without a toilet break.
Bucket list experience did not disappoint

5.00We got moved to the segovia site which we were kept very well informed about , we decided to stay up instead of travelling on the day and what a great move , Segovia is advertised as a day trip from Madrid , we would have made it our base instead of Madrid if we had know . The town is fantastic with so much to see , then you take the ride over the top and see everything in a new perspective. The ballon flight was amazing carlos the pilot funny and totally in control , manage your expectations you will be sharing the basket with up to 16 others but no one cares once your floating over the beautiful scenery, brilliantly morning , definitely put this one on your to do list , 10/10
