Tuscany Ballooning

We absolutely loved flying with Tuscany Ballooning! We flew with Oliver, who was an amazing pilot. Lovely views, smooth landing, great company, nice light breakfast. If you want to go ballooning, I definitely recommend this company! Thanks for the wonderful experience!

This morning I went for a flight with Tuscany Balloning. The best decision I have made in a long time.! The view of the beautiful Tuscan Hills was stunning in the amazing morning light. And knowing to be in good hands - the owner Pascal with over 20 years experience makes you feel safe and relaxed. I highly recommend Tuscan Ballooning.

What an amazing experience. The ride was so smooth you hardly felt like you were flying in the air. The views of the Chianti region were breathtaking. An experience we will never forget.

Incredible first trip into the sky by Balloon! Very smooth take off and landing, not scary at all, quite magical really! Greeted with a delicious breakfast at the end also :)

What can I say about this company? It was an unbelievable experience!! We had to be cancelled 2 times due to high winds but the third time was the charm! They worked with us all the way to make our journey happen! The pilot was amazing and very professional. The landing was so smooth I couldn't believe it. Afterwards we had a breakfast set up and it was very good! I would highly recommend Ballooning here!

This was one of the best experiences of my life! We went as a group of 4 and the booking was so easy. All done by email and settling payments was easy and all online. The directions for the landing site is also very easy to follow on a satnav. On the morning of the flight, we were greeted by really friendly staff at the landing field, and escorted to our pilot and balloon. Our pilot was Pascal, who was relaxed and very thorough in all his explanations and checks. We were able to see the balloons begin their inflation which was interesting to see. The flight itself was spectacular. We climbed quickly and ascended above the clouds to see the morning sun. Once up there for a few mins, we went below the clouds and went for a ride along the Chianti hills. Once we landed, we had a lovely continental breakfast waiting for us with local breads/olive oil, and charcuterie, as well as champagne, water and juices. BUY THE DRONE FOOTAGE. It is so worth it!

It was a great adventure. Very well organized and friendly communication from booking to the activity. We‘ve met at 5:50 and had a a fantastic ride with great views over Tuscany. Can absolutely recommend it.

It was absolutely beautiful while the wind took us up & beyond the vineyards with breathtaking views. Our pilot explained everything to us and guided us thru the air with his years of expertise. We loved everything about our adventure. 5 stars on everything you did for us. Great directions, communication and the breakfast was such a delight.

Flying in a hot air balloon was Amazing! Something you have to try at least once in a lifetime and Tuscany Ballooning is the best team you could do this with.
The whole experience was magical, exiting and fun. From waking up at 5 in the morning when it's still dark and the air cool, seeing a balloon up close and how it works.
Pascal our pilot was wonderful and did the best job from takeoff to landing and explaining everything to us passengers on what to do and to expect from the landing, you can really see how experienced and passionate he and the whole team are.
We were flying over the Chianti area, you see places from up there that you don't see from just doing a ground tour.
After landing we had a final toast with prosecco! Plus breakfast, they really do think of every little detail to make this experience even more special for you.
Tuscany Ballooning team THANK YOU for a wonderful experience me and my boyfriend will never forget.

Incredibly fun and well-organized experience. Pascal, Kirsty and Oliver were very hospitable and really did their best to make this an unforgettable experience. Oliver was a good pilot and made sure we were all at ease during the flight. The views and landscape were beautiful and truly unique. We ended with a delicious, local breakfast in the middle of the field where we landed. Would absolutely recommend this to everyone.

An AMAZING experience overall. Oliver (our captain) and his team do an outstanding job - making you feel comfortable, secure and in-good-hands the entire time.

Happened to get engaged on the balloon, which made the experience that much more special, but the Tuscany Ballooning team went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for that special day!

Oliver's mom actually surprised us with a champagne toast + breakfast in the field upon landing, feeding us cheese + olive oil that their family makes themselves. Super authentic, and a great touch.

Highly recommend, would definitely do it again!

Our recent experience with Tuscany Ballooning more than lived up to our expectations. Everything was well organized and clearly communicated, so combined with the friendly team of people, the excellent breakfast, beautiful morning and stunning photo opportunities it was an event that will live long in our memories. Highly recommended.

The absolute best!!!

Out pilot was great. Super kind, funny, informative, and all around awesome.

Breakfast which was served after we landed in a beautiful field was fantastic! Totally gourmet and local treats!

Hands down the best thing my wife and I did on our honeymoon

Absolutely amazing experience!
We paid for the private flight for 2 with the Prosecco breakfast afterwards, arranged with the amazing team that I wanted to propose to my now fiancé, they were fantastic and helped organise everything and make it that extra bit special arranged a drone to film our flight - even managed to get the proposal on film!
If you’re in two minds, just do it, you will not regret it!
Hopefully these pictures will help you decide

We had the most perfect morning. Huge thanks to Oliver our pilot, and the whole team for an awesome experience. It was simply wonderful, and worth every penny. The landing was especially fun 😉 Loved the breakfast at the end, and all our basket mates. SO glad we booked.
Grazie mille!

The experience was well worth it. Oliver our pilot made everyone in our balloon feel at ease. He has a good knowledge of the area.

What an amazing experience! 100% recommend. Family-owned and professional. It was a clear day, and perfect flying weather. Flight was warm and stable. We were only cold on the ground before the trip. Breakfast was good (and comfortable in the sunshine). Pascale and team mentioned that flying in winter is great for visibility, so don't hesitate in the off season.

You need to be able to climb into the basket and to hold on tight when you land. I am by no means athletic and am middle aged - it was easy for me. Children should be at least 4 feet tall so they can see easily.

If you are staying in Florence, the car service was definitely worth it. We were grateful to not stress to get there early in the morning. Consider it even if you are staying in the country.

Try to leave an extra day in the area because if they can't fly due to weather, they will postpone to the next day. It would be a shame to miss out on this experience, so keep your plans a little loose. They care about your safety first and foremost, which is what you want when you are floating in a wicker basket in the sky. Note that even if it is sunny, wind conditions may not be ideal.

We were pretty firm that we would only do a balloon trip once in our life because it is so expensive. Now, we will be saving to try it again. Awe-inspiring.

If you are considering it, do it!

The whole production from beginning to end with Pascal and his crew was unforgettable. It was indeed one of the great highlights of my trip. Truly loved hearing stories about Pascal's childhood, how you came to Tuscany, and how you came to know and love ballooning. I hope I will get to visit again some day. It is evident that you all truly love what do! Thank you! 😊

Once in a lifetime experience and whoever is willing to invest the money, you will not regret it. We had the perfect weather on a perfect April day and the views did not disappoint. The crew is very professional, communication before and during was excellent.

This was a dream come true, a once in a life time adventure floating above the beautiful Tuscan Landscape.
Tuscany Ballooning - from start to finish were utterly awesome. They were very professional from the moment we booked, to when we arrived at the take off field, welcoming us and explaining everything extremely well before we clambered in to the basket.
Family operated, the flight was smooth, the landing gentle and a locally sourced delicious spread awaited us once we disembarked ending a fantastic, memorable experience.
Would highly recommend them to anyone travelling to Italy.
