We were looking for something different to do during our Tuscany trip in September and found Ballooning in Tuscany. The experience was absolutely fantastic. A bit unease at first, as we had never been in a hot air balloon, but Robert made us feel totally safe. The early morning quietness and wonderful sunlight over the Tuscan hills was totally breathtaking.... more

My wife and I had the pleasure of flying with Robert and learning from his decades of experience, both with Ballooning and Tuscany.

We had a shakey start with the directions and GPS so we got there 15 minutes late but once we got there, the flight was wonderful. After the flight which lasted about an hour and 15 minutes, we had champage and melon in the field which we landed. From there we drove for cappuccino and pastries and then drove back... more

As part of our honeymoon in June 2007, my husband I took a hot air balloon ride with Ballooning in Tuscany. Our guide was amazing - and the ride was unbelievable. The land below was so gorgeous and pristine - it was incredible to be able to be a part of it. The basket holds 6 people plus your guide... more
