This was the the icing on the cake of a long weekend in Tuscany at the end of April, start of May, 2012. The weather had been changeable in the days before and Pascal, the pilot, told us he was about to call to cancel due to rain but gave it a few minutes and the skies cleared :-) It... More

This was my first time on a hot air balloon and it was everything I expected it to be. So magical and enchanting to watch the sun rise over the hills of Tuscany. The champagne breakfast to follow was regional and delicious! Next time I'm in Italy I will expect I will do this again! It's a memory I will... More

One of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Professionally run, a pleasure to deal with and the experience was amazing. The champagne breakfast was also a highlight, The pecorino cheese made by there family was fantastic. We tried lots of sheep cheese after that and none where as good! Worth every euro and would love to do it again!!

I recently planned a trip to Italy to propose to my then Girlfriend. She was totally unaware of my proposal plans. I knew all along that I wanted to do it on a Ballon ride over tuscany. From the minute that I first contacted Pascal the experience was nothing but perfect. Pascal recommended a B&B in the center of San... More

A trip over the vineyards in Italy has always been on my "to do list", but was actually blown away by this surreal experience! I spent two weeks traveling in Italy, Turkey , and Greece with 7 friends, and had many wonderful adventures, but this was by far the highlight for me! The flight was amazing, the sights awesome, and... More

Before my husband and I arrived in Florence, we spoke about experiencing a hot air balloon ride in the Tuscan countryside. We wanted to do something well..."different". Well...upon arrival, we did just that... book our ride with Tuscany Ballooning via the Concierge desk of Il Baglioni Hotel in Florence. From the moment we made contact with Pascal and Kirsten until... More

The Tuscan hills are gorgeous, and to view them from a balloon is an experience my husband and I will never forget. Ballooning was so peaceful. We felt very comfortable with the expertise of our pilot, Pascal. The breakfast with Pascal and Kirsten was fabulous! Kirsten is such a friendly, out-going individual, with a love for people. The breakfast with... More

My wife and I celebrated our wedding in Tuscany. Amazing. But ballooning in Tuscany (we did the honeymoon flight) made the experience even more special. The morning of the trip the flight was canceled - the winds had picked up and Pascal takes safety very seriously. Luckily, the wind died down a few hours later the flight was back on.... More
