Review of Tuscany’s hot air balloon flight from Florence, with vineyard views, safety details, champagne breakfast, price, and booking tips.

“This tour exceeded our expectations and was just AMAZING!!! The driver was right on time to pick us up at our accommodation, it was a short drive from Florence to the take off field. The time in the air is just the right amount of time, I proposed to my girlfriend while in the air and the communication from booking the tour to the day before the tour was perfect. Everyone from the company is so friendly from the driver to the pilot and ground crew, these people do an exceptional job. Soaring above vineyards over Tuscany and watching the sunrise was just blissful. The champagne breakfast at the end…”

“I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering the balloon flight, The balloon basket was larger than I expected meaning there were more people on the ride, but this did not impact the quality of our experience. It was an amazing experience. The flight was seamless, our pilot very friendly, professional and very skilled at piloting our balloon. It is an incredible way to experience Tuscany and I highly recommend it.”

“Robert was a wonderful pilot, cracked excellent jokes and kept us all happy, with a perfect take-off and landing. His teammate in the car must have had a hilarious journey following us around in every possible direction. The views over the city and the countryside were stunning and the whole experience was so very special. Really made our trip to Italy something to remember. Ended with a delicious breakfast!! Would definitely do it again! Immortalised in tattoo form on our return by Lorenzo Amuleto at his tattoo place on the Via de Seraglio - that is how good it was... (Brilliant tattoo too)!”
