Hot air balloon flight in Tuscany
Flying on a hot air balloon is an unforgettable experience. A balloon flight in Tuscany, over the sweet hills of Chianti, is even more stunning. I did this experience one year ago, and it was one of the most thrilling things I have ever made in Tuscany. I liked it so much that I totally recommend it to everyone who wants to bring back home some wonderful memories and fantastic pictures of the Tuscan countryside. This is the experience that I did: hot air balloon flight over Tuscany.
It’s also incredibly romantic! Imagine yourself making or receiving your marriage proposal in the skies of Tuscany, surrounded by clouds and with the famous rolling hills at your feet. Or celebrating your anniversary sipping champagne and watching the sunset while flying in the sky. Sounds good, isn’t it?
I also shot a video about this adventure, just to give you an idea!
Hot air Balloon Flight in Tuscany
The company is highly reliable and they offer a complete service. They will pick you up with a mini van and they will take you in San Casciano Val di Pesa, in the heart of Chianti countryside. Then you’ll jump in the basket and enjoy your hot air balloon ride with an experienced pilot. He will explain you how the balloon is working, what you are seeing and he will answer to all your questions. The basket can host from 4 up to 16 people and the flight will last approximately one hour. They will also offer you some snacks and a glass of Champagne!
- This is definitely one of the best luxury experiences in Florence.
At the end of the flight the balloon will gently land in one field. Then the mini van will immediately reach you, and after packing the balloon (I was surprised by how quick this operation is!) you’ll be driven back to your original place.
