5.00What a great experience! We had booked the ballon ride and it turned out to be a remarkableq¹1 experience, including a spectacular landing and a trailer that had to be turned by muscle power. All this was accompanied by a professional team and a professional boss, Peter. And then, a special compliment to the "Residenza del Pilota" where you can stay when you have a flight booked. We thought it would be a simple bed and breakfast but what we found was a beautiful and spacious apartment with a smashing pool. All this was accompanied by hospitality, friendliness and geneeo. Chapeau!!
Wonderful!

5.00Peter was our pilot, tour guide, comedian and host. He has a talented and capable crew to make this happen. I added the pickup and delivery service, our driver was early and ready to roll. We went up to 4500’ to get out of the wind shadow of the mountain and drifted across the valley. Beautiful trip, very scenic.
Fantastic

4.00The experience with the hot air balloon was very nice , nice and preracked staff and an exciting flight . me and my filgia were very happy. however communication with Viator was complicated we thought we would be picked up by Ballon staff directly at the farm but only by chance we found that the pick up was not provided in the price paid despite it was written on the voucher and we had to reorganize ourselves. advice to pay close attention to the information of viator
It's a must!! Don't hesitate even for a minute!!

5.00It was a truly unique gift. A trip to take at least once in a lifetime. The weather conditions were perfect! A beautiful sunrise with a unique panorama. We climbed very high equal to Monte Subasio. The excellent skill of the pilot Peter meant that the landing was perfect. The professionalism also of the very experienced and close-knit team. Very nice also the breakfast provided at the Dionigi Winery with excellent wines and excellent dishes. Advice.
Highly recommended and will be one of the highlights of your trip to Italy

5.00From the booking with Alya to Peter picking us up from the train station, to making sure our accommodations were perfect to the best and most safe hot air balloon ride. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Truly 10 out of 10!!!!! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our experience.

5.00Flying with Ballon Adventures was a truly perfect experience! The very nice pilot described in detail the operation of the balloon and everything we could admire from up there. He and the crew showed the utmost professionalism and were very precise in the organization. The weather gave us a day with maximum visibility and excellent wind. The actual flight lasted about an hour and upon landing we enjoyed a breakfast with wine tasting in the nearby winery. Also the stay at the Residence of the pilot was magnificent: brand new apartment, really equipped with everything and with pool outside the window. Highly recommended experience!!!
