Baloon tour

3.00The good: communication was great! there was a marathon that day, so the tour operator was wonderful about making sure we knew where and when to meet our driver Pepe. the ride was comfortable( a little over an hour from center of town) and we even sopped to use the toilet and get some coffee before our flight. When we landed, there was a wonderful breakfast, tortilla, jamon, queso, zumo y cava. Very romantic and lovely to be picnic-ing in a field shortly after sunrise. Pepe again stopped at a station for drinks and a restroom before heading back. he fought against Madrid traffic and the marathon to get us as close to our hotel as possible and even gave us directions to get safely back. *After we landed, our piolot told us the history of the first hot air balloon flight while the rest of the crew set up our lovely breakfast The Rest: *There seemed to be bit of trouble getting our balloon up and ready to go. It was nearly inflated, they had tipped the basket, but couldn't complete the process, so they had to start all over again. We did watch another company pull up, unfurl, inflate, AND take off in that time span, so it was a little worrisome. *We did not fly OVER Segovia, as it looks in the pictures and descriptions. We flew in the opposite direction. That could have been due to weather or wind, but I heard our pilot point our the landing place from the prior day which was nearby, so I believe they fly in this direction frequently. What we did fly over, was some farm land and a recycling depot/ dump. Pepe was on our flight and encouraged the pilot to torn the balloon around so he could point out the famed aqueduct but it was more of a squint into the distance thing. I mention it so you can adjust your expectations. It important to note that ALL of the balloons( there were 5 that day ) flew in the same direction. so I don't think it was a personal choice. * Our pilot kept leaning over and spitting over the side of the balloon and watching it fall. I don't know if he wan't feeling well or something else, but as I was the passenger standing less then a foot from this, it did strike me as odd and a bit gross. * You will get dirty! I have have been on 2 other hot air balloon rides, so I have some limited comparisons. After we landed, we were asked to help roll up the balloon and stuff it in its carry case. Given that we landed in a soft slightly muddy field, that led to getting very dirty on our shoes, pants and coats. they had elderly people helping as well. I love communal effort, but it felt more compulsory rather than a fun option. If you have never been on a balloon ride, this is as good a chance as any.
Will do it again! Awesome

5.00We discovered Segovia, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, on a Hot Air Balloon Ride with Aerotours. It is one of the BEST decisions we have made in our trip :) It was our very first time to take the hot air balloon ride. It offered us a unique perspective of Segovia’s old town and its most iconic monuments. Beautiful photos and videos were captured. These memories will stay in our mind forever ❤️🎈 Do NOT miss this fabulous experience if you wish to explore Segovia :)

4.00The previous days I think were not managed correctly, a lot of uncertainty was generated, moved to the same morning of the flight, leaving two hours later than planned. As an experience is very good, the organizers and pilots of the great flight day. But it should be considered that in the holes of the basket, should not put 5 people, neither is comfortable nor I consider it safe when landing

5.00I was pleasantly surprised. Our pilot Ishmael explained things about the trip and the balloon during the trip. Although it was a cold day in Segovia, in the air it is not cold, so, even better. I recommend it 100%
