What a wonderful experience for our honeymoon! We actually ended up taking off from Florence due to weather, but I think it was even better than what we originally booked. Seeing Florence like that was breathtaking. Highly recommend this!!!

There was zero communications from the local tour operator regarding pickup and location of the tour starting point, and we never went on the tour due to the complete lack of communication!! Balloon Team Italia is not a responsible and good tour operator!

The experience itself is amazing. It's a 100% enjoyment and 'pampering' by the staff. The courasoints we got there are by far the best we ate in our trip. That being said, there is a little thing that must be treated a bit differently: People must be kept in touch regarding pick-up more frequently. They mention that info will be sent after 18:00, and I found myself waiting almost till 20:00, quite anxious and believing someone had forgotten me. I would prefer to get a tiny message to calm me down, something like "don't worry, we are here, we will contact you in the next 20 minutes."

Three of us went with about a dozen others on this incredible journey in Chianti! The Aeronaut/pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly and fun to be with. He explained everything as we went along, which was wonderful to know. The experience was so amazing. Very quiet and comfortable. We had a champagne breakfast afterward. So much fun. This is a MUST DO in Tuscany! The views are enchanting!

Balloon Team Tuscany was wonderful on our hot air balloon ride! We were a group of 7 people and did a shared ride. Out younger kids had many questions about how the balloon works and functions - the team was very knowledgeable and addressed all of their questions.
The actual ride was gorgeous and smooth over lovely tuscan region. The landing was a bit bumpy but was expected...the ride took about 30 minutes which was followed by breakfast of fresh cheeses, meats and breads from local farms along with a champagne toast. They provided juices for the kids!
The price is a bit much, but it was worth the ride. Highly recommend this company and doing this if you are ever in this area!

I booked a group 13 friends July 7, 2022. We had an incredible time. The management team was always very responsive to my emails. They were friendly and made us all feel very comfortable and safe. The entire experience was beyond what any of us anticipated. What a great day with a yummy breakfast and champagne toast at the end!!! It was a bucket list item for many of us and was just incredibly special! Thank you for making this such a wonderful day. We will definitely be back!!

Grazie a tutto il team per la cordialità, la serietà e la puntualità. È stata una bellissima esperienza, un volo sulle colline del chianti in tutto il loro fascino. Il nostro pilota, Guido, si è mostrato molto disponibile e professionale nel rispondere a tutte le domande e curiosità. È stata un’avventura indimenticabile, sicuramente da rifare!

Il panorama era meraviglioso, si respira tanta quiete da lassù...
Il personale è molto preparato e disponibile.
Vale la pena provare l'esperienza.
Vivamente consigliato il volo in mongolfiera.
