No fear going aloft - I almost canceled several times out of anxiety. However, I could not have anticipated the ease of lifting up and watching the transport vehicle grow smaller beneath me. Was a slow ascent, like a child’s balloon drifting upward. The day was glorious, the views were amazing and I felt prepared by our pilot. His transparent informative manner of educating us regarding the ways of the wind, the speed of travel, the altitude, etc. helped us feel that we were in expert hands. It was a delight to look across at Assisi and then later even far above it when he took us to the highest elevation. He pointed out several of the surrounding towns and answered all questions, including my curiosity regarding the fields of solar panels. The landing was pretty soft and we had been prepared for how to maneuver so I felt well cared for. Our brunch was in a lovely setting . At my table I met a family from Malta and was seated next to Peter, our pilot. Was a lively conversation! The opportunity to venture down to the barrels and hear about their wine production process was fascinating. And wow, that 40 euro bottle of wine…if I had room in my luggage I would have purchased several bottles. And I’m not generally much of a fan of wine. Best choice I made and stuck with. One of the high points of my trip.

Drift peacefully over the beautiful Umbrian countryside - Early morning start on a clear July morning in the beautiful Umbria countryside - the start of an amazing adventure. We watched as the huge, multi-coloured balloon was fully inflated and took off with Peter as our highly-skilled pilot. Flying low to start with so we touched the tops of the trees below and could hear the bird song, we soon rose to 6,500 feet to try and pick up a breeze. We could see for miles all around and Peter kept us all entertained, both with his anecdotes and with his knowledge of the country we were drifting over. With only a slight breeze, the flight ended up much longer than the hour originally planned, in fact we were airborne for nearly two whole hours. Picking an appropriate landing site in those conditions wasn’t easy and at one point the wind kept pushing us back over the motorway. Peter was an amazing pilot though and eventually found an empty field for a textbook landing. The excitement of the flight was followed by a delicious breakfast and wine tasting - wonderful Italian antipasti and fresh fruit. The entire experience couldn’t have been better and we could not have been in safer hands than with Peter. I would highly recommend this as an amazing all round experience

Amazing! - As is the family habit, the children bought us this as a combined present. What they get us is always great but they will be pushed to top this one! From beginning to end it was outstanding. Just approaching the balloon was an experience, the flight was so beautiful and the breakfast and wine tasting were amazing. As for Pilot Peter, he really made the day. His commentary was super entertaining and we landed like a feather. We also shared a table with him for breakfast where we covered a wide range of very interesting subjects. A day to remember!

Spectacular! - My daughter and I added this trip to our Italian adventure and it was a highlight. Our driver picked us up exactly on time. The advent kept in touch with us and accommodated the dates of our stay in Assisi, the pilot was very entertaining and professional, the crew was hardworking and kind, and the views were breaking. After the flight we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and wine tasting at a lovely winery and cantina. Definitely worth it!

Memorable Adventure - Pilot Pete and entire team were professional and fun. He explained everything before we did it and gave clear instructions. We had gorgeous weather which made for some wind challenges but he kept us entertained as we floated leisurely above the Umbrian Valley. We enjoyed volunteering to help snake-pack the massive balloon into it's bag, then a few of the guys helped hoist the basket onto the truck. It was fun to participate. The wine tasting at La Cantina Dionigibwas a nice finish to a truly wonderful and memorable experience/Adventure. Grazie mille!
