Balloon Ride over Florence/Siena/Chianti Areas

Hot air balloon rides are one of the most unique and exhilarating experiences you will ever have. You will never forget your first balloon flight; it is truly an experience that cannot compare to anything else. Now you can experience the sensation of floating above Mother Earth with a breathtaking view of the world below. Just imagine the roar of the burners as you rise into the sky, the silence of floating, drifting with the winds. This sensation of flight creates a still calmness to the soul with no comparison.
The flight will last approximately one hour, but you will need to allow at least 3-4 hours for the whole experience.. After the passenger safety briefings are completed the hot air balloon will be prepared. As part of the experience you are always invited to help the crew if you would like. When all of the final safety checks are complete the adventure begins.

Upon completion of your flight, we will celebrate your adventure with a glass of  sparkling Spumante. You will receive a certificate of ascension and you will also be blessed with a special balloonists’ prayer and partake, in field, in our continental breakfast, which include local products to commemorate the flight.

Hot Air Ballooning is very weather dependent. We need light surface winds, below 10 mph with no rain and good visibility. We always obtain the latest weather forecasts before making a decision to fly. Passenger safety and enjoyment are our prime considerations so if conditions do force a cancellation we will rearrange your trip for the next mutually convenient date.

It is possible to start the tour from Florence, Siena or Chianti Fiorentino area.
