Don – Australia

The tour started off by being picked up on time from the meeting point. After a short travel we reached the take off point as the setup of the balloon was on its way. A short while after we were in the air, gliding along like being on a cushion of air. The sights were amazing and the journey truly awe inspiring…. Words just can’t describe it. On landing there was champagne and a light lunch. Then came the handing out of flight logs or passport logs for our flight in a balloon which was a great touch 🤩 I’d highly recommend it to anyone!

really incredible experience. Monser and Miguel were friendly and professional, making our experience perfect. the balloon flight was incredible, and the extra little touches of the cava and goody bag really made it perfect. the transport between the balloon and monastery was great, and the the monastery tour guide matteo was very informative and friendly. 5 star experience all round
