A truly special and memorable morning! On arrival we were offered tea and coffee and given full briefing. Chance to watch the balloon inflate and take pictures/videos. Once inside the basket we took off and the views were incredible! Our pilot was friendly and professional and happily answered our questions. It was my husband’s birthday which they made extra special by having the whole group sing ‘happy birthday’ from 4000 feet. A day we certainly won’t forget, highly recommend!

Es war ein unglaublich schönes Erlebnis. Alles hat bestens geklappt. Abholung vor Ort kurzer WC Stopp. Leo hat sich sofort nach der Buchung bei uns gemeldet. Ausserordentlich freundlich. Die ganze Ballonfahrt crew war sehr freundlich und auch hilfsbereit. Ich würde es sofort wieder tun.

Foi um passeio muito bom ! Senti mta segurança do piloto ! Na minha opinião poderiam subir um pouco mais cedo , para ver o dia amanhecendo lá de cima ! Um fundo musical também seria bom! O vídeo da GoPro (opcional) para comprar é mto caro ! Mas foi excelente, recomendo ! As vistas são lindas la de cima !
