Tout simplement magique, Des amis nous ont offert cette magnifique surprise, quelle magnifique idée ! C'était merveilleux, les couleurs des collines du Chianti à l’aube, les vignes et les villages vu du ciel, apercevoir des biches gambader a travers champs. C’est vraiment spectaculaire et inoubliable.

Amazing Experience over the Chianti Countryside. Went ballooning from San Casciano to somewhere south where the wind took us. Super friendly pilot who answered all our questions. Actually even before we got there, super responsive on WhatsApp. They really helped with our nerves, last thing we wanted was to get lost at 6 AM. Yeah, downside is that it requires one to get up early. But they guided us to the take off spot without any issue, we had our own car for touring, but I believe they can also pick you up in town. (Useful to have our own car rental as after the trip we stayed in the Chianti and enjoyed the rest of the day, with wine tours near Panzano). The experience itself is out of this world. Once at the field with our pilot, Fede, we felt at ease right away. I think he is the main pilot, it seemed a small tightly run outfit with another ballon that took off with us. Extra bit for us is we took the kids and they loved it, very peaceful, we got to see the geography with them as well as wild animals and skirt the top of trees, which our pilot did intentionally to add excitement for the kids. Landing went smoother than I thought possible and we even got breakfast on the field we landed on. All in all I highly recommend it and worth the money. Only downside is that it’s weather dependent and we had to wait a couple of days that were a no go due to clouds, luckily we had a whole week in Chianti to work with and it’s not like our schedule was pre booked at 6 AM.

Amazing flight I loved every second of it, really amazing experience. We had a bumpy landing, it was so much fun! Everyone was extremely helpful and professional, I want to do it every time I go to Florence. Thank you UpBallooning! The breakfast after the landing is delicious, with Prosecco. Really worth doing.

Tuscany from the sky The perfect way to celebrate my husbands 50th Birthday. This was our families first experience hot air ballooning. Fede and crew made it the most amazing morning for us all. We couldn’t of ask for anything more. The ride was so peaceful and calming. A feeling you really only can get gliding through the air. We landed in the perfect vineyard for cake, snacks and Prosecco. They even had 50th Birthday candles on the cake. Best experience with UpBallooning! It is a Tuscany MUST DO!

Unbelievable experience! We enjoyed a Chianti balloon ride in the safe and masterful hands of Federico that took off just south of San Casciano, about 20 minutes outside Florence. The trip took us up above the most beautiful part of the Chianti and ended on a nearby field where cars met up with a champagne breakfast! A must do for couples and families! Amazing experience!

La perfezione della bellezza Non potevamo chiedere di più, anzi, questa esperienza è stata oltre l'aspettativa e l'immaginato. Volare con questi ragazzi super competenti ma soprattutto amanti del loro lavoro, positivi, sorridenti, disponibili, ci ha rigenerati. Un'emozione unica da provare assolutamente almeno una volta nella vita! Grazie per tutto, anche per la splendida e deliziosa colazione all'atterraggio! Le foto migliori della nostra bella Firenze e della campagna, che mai avrei potuto fare!

Chianti view I really enjoyed the experience, I was super scared at first, but Federico was so reassuring, I was comfortable for the takeoff, I was so grateful to him, the flight was so gentle, even the landing that he said might be bumpy, was super easy. I would do it every day if I could, I loved it, thank you Up!
