Fabulous - This was an amazing experience, evening flight worked out perfect. The organiser, Smile Ballon’s put on a plan show for our entertainment, extra special. Communication was very good between Smile Balloons and ourselves, had to rearrange due to high winds, but was kept informed at all times. I would most definitely recommend this experience if you are visiting Vilnius, it really did make our trip

Wow wow wow. - Oh wow. What a fabulous way to round-out a weekend in Vilnius. This was an amazing, fun, novel, friendly, and highly memorable trip. Not just a quick up-and-down: the flight itself was over an hour long. Nor was it just the one balloon, but a whole crowd of them - making it fun just to be around as the balloons inflate and start to fly. Our pilot was extremely competent and we dipped low over the lake and played among tree-tops. I was particularly lucky to have booked for a day when some stunt-flying was also being performed (a safe distance from our balloon!). A light aircraft was making flights through a hoop suspended from one of the other balloons, and we had a great view. Also a pleasingly social excursion for a solo traveller.

Incredible in the best way possible - Incredible adventure. Due to the bad weather it wasn't sure it was happening, but the organizers checked every option to make it possible. In the end they drove us 80 minutes to a different city, so we could start from there and wouldn't miss it. They went above and beyond. The flight was unbelievable. One of the coolest things I have done so far. The pilot was super nice and gave us many intersting facts. Everything went perfectly and I can't recommend this enough. Won't be the last flight for sure.

Brilliant Experience - this trip was extremely well organised, we had arranged to go on Sat evening but we were advised in plenty of time that the weather wasnt suitable, they arranged for the following evening which was fine, we were kept upto date by Whattsap with all the details, the staff were fun and friendly, and very experienced. The views were brilliant and the whole experience was great. The staff on the ground take photos which they Whattsapp to you. Finished with a traditional glass of Champagne, which was very appropriate on this trip as a very pleasant Belgian lad asked us to film him proposing to his girlfriend, fortunately she accepted. Brilliant experience.

Lithuania from above with wonderful pilot - We initially booked the tour for another day but Vytas, the pilot, told us the conditions were better the following day so we listened to him and went the next day. It was a very good decision. The experience was very cool helping him set up the balloon and after that slowly climbing. The flight was full of jokes and fun but also interesting information about the surroundings from our wonderful pilot Vytas. It was truly the best activity from our trip in Lithuania and it made our vacation even better!!! At the end he told us it s tradition to drink champagne when we landed safely so we all had a glass. We also received certificates to remember this wonderful day! We want to thank the whole team especially Vytas for this unforgettable experience!!! Ačiū!❤️🇱🇹

Smile in the sky - Smile is a very professional and easy going balloon operator, it is highly recommended. Vytas flew us over Trakai together with some skydivers who left us midway. It is a serene and beautiful experience to float high in the sky and it is worth it to book with this company

Honest review by solo traveller - Honest review from a solo traveller. Was contacted day before booking to see if I would change from afternoon flight to morning flight, this did not suit my plans. Communication was excellent regarding pick up point. Joined with 3 other passengers. Arriving at launch site was advised i would be joining another company with 10 other passengers as I was a solo passenger and sky divers would be joining this flight. Just because I am one person doesn't make me less important! I had already missed the other companies safely briefing, was given a written guide of what to expect and sign here form. Was then told to get into a basket with 10 other passengers. You could not move. They were not impressed that I Joined and I also not impressed. This was not was I had been expecting or been told about. But had little choice out in the fields of Trakai if I wanted to join a Balloon tour. The company that I Joined Oreivystes Centras and their pilot Giedrius Leskevicius where absolutely awesome. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They were more than accommodating and would not take payment for the flight, I had to pay Smile Balloon. Was dropped back to my hotel and not a pick up point. Oreivystes Centras all the way. I did have a booking for a Vilnius Balloon flight a few days after the Trakai one and when I contacted them to cancel thinking it was Oreivystes they knew all about my experience! Goes to show a good experience travels far but a bad experience travels even further... they already knew that what they did to me was not acceptable.
