The pilots are very professional with safety always first. This was our first balloon ride and we felt very comfortable from take off to landing. The view, the solitude, and exhilaration! If you can afford to take the private couple's ride do it. Champagne at the landing site is a perfect finish. More

I had never done hot air ballooning, but after reading others' reviews, decided to be brave and try it. Boy am I glad I did. It was my favorite activity of the entire trip! This activity is only available from April 1st to the end of October. But since the owner, Christophe, was in town, he graciously accepted to take... More

We were lucky enough to have good weather at the beginning of April so that we could fit in a balloon flight during our two days in Bruges. What a great way to see this magnificent town which lends itself so well to aerial views. Christophe was able to point out where we werestaying to help us get our bearings... More

Just returned from Bruges. What a fantastic place. The highlight of our stay was a Saturday Morning Hot Air Balloon flight over this Beautiful City. Christophe picked us up from our Hotel then took us to our departure point where we helped inflate the balloon. We then flew North towards the Medieval town, passing the snow covered fields. We then... More

Alec and I went to Brugge for a Valentine Weekend and I surprised my fiance with the Ballon flight. We both loved the flight over Brugge. We felt very safe in the company of Christopher and Michael. I felt that it was a great mixture of having fun and actually learned something in the process about Ballon flights. I really... More

My boyfriend and I made a weekend trip to Bruges last October. On our first day while we were walking around the market square, we saw a balloon flying above us, it looked so beautiful in that medieval scenery! We immediately decided we wanted to do it. We booked that same night, and we were so lucky to get the... More

Bruges is a beautiful city. I chose to take my girlfriend there for her birthday as we found the film 'In Bruges' hilarious. This balloon ride was wonderful, the staff were very friendly and fun and we enjoyed a drink at the end. The view from the balloon made us think 'it's a fairytale town' both from above and on...

My wife and I flew with Bruges Ballooning on a beautiful autumn evening. The team managed the flight beautifully, taking us right over the centre of the city, and landing safely in a field on the opposite side. The negative part of the experience, however, was that too many people (ten) were shoe-horned into the basket. My wife and I... More

On our 4 day visit to Bruges, my husband and his brother had booked this Balloon flight for themselves and myself and my sister in law. We were due to go on the Wednesday afternoon, but the weather was against us, too windy. We were most disappointed, but we were told to call on Thursday night to see if the... More
