Christophe was an enthusiastic & experienced pilot of the balloon. Hotel pickup was great! We got a chance to watch and help prepare the balloon. Safety was paramount to Christophe as he watched the weather (we shifted from am to evening because of weather) as well as how to prepare for landing. We flew over the top of Bruges, having landmarks pointed out to us. It was peaceful and an amazing experience. We landed on the other side of Bruges, and celebrated the end if our first balloon ride. We were in our 70’s and are active walkers and exercise regularly. Climbing into the basket was somewhat challenging, but everyone was helpful, and we found the process exciting. So glad we were able to have this experience.

We embarked on a breathtaking sunset balloon flight, which offered us unparalleled views of Bruges. This adventure stood out as the highlight of our three-week journey through Holland and Belgium. The balloon company was incredibly accommodating, providing us with convenient pickup and drop-off services from our hotel.

It was fun to see and be a part of the process of inflating the balloon. The sunrise was beautiful over the city and the countryside.

What a magical experience! I went with my 6 year old son, christophe ensured we were well looked after and explained each step of the process. The flight itself was smooth with the most beautiful views of Bruge and of the Belgian countryside. I would recommend this to anyone but also for those with kids - my son has since decided he will become a hot air balloon pilot! Thank you Christophe!

Fantastic experience. From being involved in helping the balloon being taken of the trailer, inflating & then loading onto the trailer afterwards…felt like it couldn’t have happened without us! Christophe was an excellent pilot & host (also Martin). He was really knowledgeable about the landscape below & also what was happening in the air! An experience my family will not forget (especially the landing)! The only negative thing I can say is having to eat my body weight in Belgium pastries & drinking 4 glasses of champagne before 9am🤣🤣🤣

Christophe and family made our very first hot air balloon ride a most memorable experience! He helped us feel comfortable and safe! So much fun and the most beautiful views. I highly recommend.

We had a WONDERFUL time on this flight! Hot air ballooning has been a bucket list item for me for quite some time and Bruges was such a beautiful place to check the box. The entire crew was kind and skillful. Breathtaking views of Bruges landmarks, the North Sea and surrounding areas. Highly recommend!

Yesterday we flew with Christophe Saeys at sunset over Bruges and it was an unforgettable experience for us. Both the flight, the views, the treatment and the champagne of the end were perfect (even the owner and friends of the cornfield where we landed 😁😁😁). Recommended 100% if you go to Bruges.
