Hot air balloon flight in chianti - A hot air balloon flight in Chianti is a truly unique experience. It starts early in the morning, with the chance to see the Tuscan countryside come to life. The hills, vineyards and small medieval villages are even more beautiful in the morning light. The flight is quiet and peaceful, interrupted only by the sound of the burner. During the flight, you have a fantastic view of the Chianti vineyards and the old mansions and castles in the landscape. Our pilot, Federico, was very good and guided the flight safely and professionally. The landing was soft, and after we were even offered a breakfast. It was beautiful.

Hot air balloon ride chianti valley - For the first time I boarded a hot air balloon and I must say that being suspended in the sky is a beautiful feeling that gives peace and harmony. As the writer and poet Italo Calvino said you have to glide on things from above, because observing what surrounds us from up there everything seems more beautiful and simple. Balloon team tuscany has an exceptional staff of professionals, who every day put passion and commitment into what they do.

A special flight - The view.... wonderful, delicate and sweet. The pilot, Guido, was very friendly and nice in explaining all the procedures for takeoff and then climb up high and admire the whole Chianti over a hot air balloon. After some anxiety about the news, once you climbed on everything else disappeared and you could not help but admire everything around.... From the first rays of the sun rising at dawn to the wonderful hills of Chianti accompanied by the safety that the pilot transmitted to us. A unique and unforgettable experience to do at least once in a lifetime.

Light above the Chianti - Truly highly recommended experience. Flying carried by the wind with such a panorama was a dream. Special mention for the staff: very friendly but above all professional, they explain everything in detail and make you feel completely at ease. The icing on the cake, once landed, breakfast with high quality local products. 5 stars are too few
