Sunset in the misty morning in San Casciano in Val de Pesa - A wonderful and peaceful hot air balloonride in the misty morning, with the most proffesionel crew and pilots. The flight was tricky for the pilots, but they did an amazing job and showed us views from the misty valley to the top of the mountains with San Cassiano, It was a dream come true.

A nice flight with nice view pictures . - Good clear communication. Friendly. Sometimes skimming low over the grape fields. I myself expected it to be higher. Good flight with a challenge which field we had to land. Landing perfect, back trip in the Jeep bumpy.

experience of a Lufetime - with a highly experienced and professional company! - When our reservation with another hot air balloon company was cancelled at the last minute, I reached out to Mongollfiere Italia (Hit Air Balloon Italy) who were able to get us in on two days notice. I am so glad we did! From the multiple email communications with Renato, to our extremely punctual driver who picked us up from our hotel, to the amazing and professional crew, and particularly our extremely reassuring and experienced pilot Ally from England, I had no doubt we were in safe hands! We had speedy winds that blew us 20 kilometers in an hour, and our crew drew 60 km to meet us where we would land. I could hear Ally constantly checking and rechecking our location, wind speed, potentially tail landing sites and hazards, and communicating with the other balloons in our group as we travelled. She also brought us in low for beautiful pictures and high to clear the hills and vineyards. I learned that Ally has piloted balloons in 115 countries over 20 years! This was a first time ballooning experience for me, my spouse and my two sons and it was worth every penny. I highly recommend Mongolfiore Italia! (BTW Balloon Team Italia is a group of 3 small companies working together under the umbrella of one big company - I think the 2nd one is Ballon Tuscany and I don’t know the 3rd one)

Amazing Experience - Had a great time on this activity. The staff was professional and guided us through the activity. Early morning balloon ride gave an exceptional view of Tuscany. We had also arranged pick and drop off from our hotel. The pick up was right on time. I will be recommending this company to my family and friends.

Not as great as hoped for - This was a very exciting experience. Seeing the balloons inflate them climbing aboard was fun. I’m giving 4 stars because the company packed too many people in The basket, I could hardly turn around not allowing me to see all sides of the landscape. Also, there was very little wind so we basically saw the same scenery for 40 minutes. I would have rather the company communicate to me the ride would be less extensive to give me option to cancel or not. They didn’t. It was a unique experience but not as great as I had hoped especially for the large price tag. It was not communicated that at end of the ride, we would spend about 45 min waiting for the crew to load the balloon basket & wait for the crew. We didn’t get back to original take off site until 9:25 am. We took off at 7:45 am. The very small breakfast was mostly bread, little cheese & few meats. It was ok, nothing special. I’m hesitant to recommend this ride simple because expectations were high.
