An authentic and “heavenly” experience - A true experience, in every sense.
I chose this company almost by chance, without knowing that it was the largest in Italy. I chose well.
The flight was postponed twice by wind — and each time the decision came without hesitation, without the gain weighing on the scales. For those with a background in aviation, like me, this is not a detail: it is the foundation.
I flew with my five-year-old girl, who dreamed of touching the sky. I saw her do it safely, alongside people — from first to last — exquisite, discreet, authentic. I was also lucky enough to exchange a few words with my fellow passengers, with all the people who played a decisive role in the experience, with the founder, present that day: the same measure and seriousness that is perceived throughout the organization.
At a time when finding true professionalism, honesty and human warmth in the same place is rare, this experience was a luxury. Not just for the sky above the Chianti Valley, but for the people who make you experience it.
Thank you all! See you soon 🌈

Late, but not disappointed. - The location had to be moved from Florence to the Chianti Hills because of the weather, which was not a problem. I was told that I would be called the night before to confirm the new location. No call was received. As we were driving to Florence for our 7 am. flight, we got a call at 6:30 am telling us of the change in location, not a problem. The caller on the phone did not speak english well, so it was very difficult to figure out where we were going.
We were only 10 minutes late and they waited for us. After all of this, we were nothing but pleased with the rest of our adventure.

Our “yes” at high altitude! - Fantastic experience with empathic staff and unique professionalism.
The organization was impeccable and the flight gave us unimaginable emotions.
I also chose this experience for the marriage proposal and I must say that the team was impeccable for making the “yes” even more magical.
With your drone you captured the moment to make it even more memorable.
Thanks to Renato, Tommaso, Guido and all the staff of Balloon Team Italia for being part of our history!

Nice, nice. - A birthday present for my sister who was worried at the very thought of it. But the team was spectacular, fun and played it down by convincing her to come up.
TOP. Experience that I would recommend to everyone. Organized efficient and excellent refreshment at the end with excellent products.

Magic in cloud 9 - The team was fantastic from the initial administration to the ground transportation and of course the pilot. Every steps were well organised and executed precisely. This is help to calm any pre flight nerves. The balloon, the basket and the equipment look solid and safe. Of course the Tuscan scenery and the sun is out of this world, acres and acres in vineyards and olive grove with cypress trees. Magical to look from the top. This is the end of season, and yet it is still so beautiful with the autumn colours. To top it, we had the prosecco and cheese for breakfast, perfect Italian hospitality.

Wow what an experience - Excellent, Great communication All round one off the best experience. Our original booking was for a flight over Florence but due to the bad weather it couldn’t take place. But Thanks to the great communication with Renato in the office he arranged to collect us from our hotel and take us to Siena. What a great team from the ground up… Rafael our pilot took us low down over Siena wonderful views. Great landing….
Staff at The balloon site were brilliant. Great atmosphere smiles all round. I can’t phase this company enough. If you are thinking of a Balloon Trip book with this company with confidence that you will be making a great memory. Thank you.

Wonderful! - I got my birthday voucher. Beautiful experience, the weather was on our side.
I felt a feeling of lightness as I lost my gaze in the beautiful panorama.
Our driver Tommaso was super nice and helpful.
