Fantastic experience from start to finish. - Just finished our balloon ride and all I can say is what a fantastic experience. We booked the transfer also and it was so convenient and easy to meet up. The cafe that they take you to is really nice with beautiful food and coffee and not over priced. The balloon ride was so peaceful and calm just a really amazing experience and our pilot Santi was exceptional. Would recommend to anyone to take this trip, really reasonably priced for the whole experience. Thank you Barcelona Ballooning 🎈

Flying High - Very professional company with personable people. Santi was our hot air balloon operator; he was kind, informative, experienced and funny. I’m afraid of heights, but this was a serene experience, and I’m happy I did it. I’m glad I chose this company for this experience.

Subject: Complaint... - Subject: Complaint Regarding Unprofessional Behavior of Pilot during Balloon Ride on [21/4/2024]
Dear Team,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unprofessional behavior of the pilot during the balloon ride that I booked for my girlfriend's birthday in Barcelona on [21/4/2024].
The pilot's demeanor throughout the experience was disrespectful and made us feel very uncomfortable. His behavior was awkward and inappropriate, to the extent that it marred what was supposed to be a special and memorable occasion. The most egregious incident was when the pilot offered his jacket to my girlfriend, which I found to be extremely rude and unprofessional.
I expect a high level of professionalism and courtesy from your team, and this experience was far below that standard. I request a thorough investigation into this matter and a prompt response outlining the steps you will take to ensure such incidents do not happen in the future.
I look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
