What To Expect

After getting picked up at your hotel in Siena in the morning, ride in a minivan outside of the city or make your own way to the hot air balloon spot. 

Once there, get an overview of the ballooning and learn about some safety procedures. If you desire so, help with the inflation of the balloon. Once it's full with hot hair, hop in the basket to begin this exciting 1-hour flight. 

Drink in the incredible views as the balloon rises heavenward. Let the guide point out landmarks such as towns, villages and villas. Ascend to a maximum height of 2,000 feet (609 meters), allowing you to see for miles and miles over the lush Tuscan landscape. Gawk at the vineyards, olive groves and fruit orchards. 

After hitting terra firma again, celebrate the flight with a glass of sparkling wine. Then hop back in the minivan for your ride back to Siena or arrange for your own way back.

It was one of the best experiences we had in Tuscany and a great way to see the beautiful landscape of San Casciano in Val di Pesa (near Florence). The people from Balloon Team Italia were great and very friendly. When we landed in the field (of a farmer) they had brought an amazing breakfast. I would recommend this experience to anyone!!

Anniversary over Tuscany
Suzanne_N, Apr 2024
This is an experience my husband has wanted for several years. It was wonderful to finally get to do it over the Tuscan Valley and celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. There are no words for how great views are. We were originally scheduled for a Friday launch but weather was iffy - Renato reached out and got us in the day before - What service and great communication. GiGi (sp?) was a very skilled pilot. We enjoyed him immensely. Thank you for a great start to our Italy vacation.
Breath Taking!
Valerie_F, Nov 2023
This was spectacular!! The team was awesome. We arrive around 6AM and watched while they prepped and readied the balloons for flight. Such team work and procession in the entire operation. You will never experience sunrise in Tuscany the way you will in a hot air balloon. It was so beautiful and magical. Now I want to give extra kudos to our specific crew. We were not in one of the larger balloons....we were private and our team was Tomas and Steve. Tomas was a great pilot. He respected your privacy if you wanted it but we were so intrigued about how he rides the air currents to steer the balloon . It really is amazing. He showed us how they use the altimeter to find the right current to go left or right. And all along the ground crew was in complete contact so you will feel very safe. We flew over vineyards and castles . We saw Deer and Foxes feeding in the field in the early morning hours. We landed in someone's vineyard and waited in the basket as Thomas teased Steve about finding us and brining "Breakfast and Prosecco". After a short time we see Steve come drive up in the vineyard .he drops out a wood table, a table cloth, Pastries and a cold bottle of Prosecco....and REAL champagne glasses. We toasted to an amazing experience . Then they went to work packing up the balloon and basket. Such great experience and great crew!!! I will go again but only if I get to have Tomas and Steve! I will tell you we have been home for a month and we still mimic Tomas on the radio....every morning when breakfast is ready...."Steve?.....Breakfast" ( with the Italian accent) "Steve?.....Prosecco" . LOVED every minute and worth every penny!!!!!! Thanks Guys! Mark and Valerie DeStefano
Wonderful experience
Joy_R, Sep 2023
Wonderful experience, our balloon team were so professional & our pilot told us all about how the balloon worked, what he was doing and what we were seeing below. Really made it interesting. The breakfast spread & procesco when we landed was so much more than expected. A real feast.
On a cloud with my partner and friends.

You felt like you were floating. Seeing the sunrise. Feeling your fear change to peace. Experiencing with loved ones.
Great balloon trip
Alex_B, Aug 2023
The team were fantastic and so well organized. Meet point was easy to find. The balloon ride itself was amazing and the pilot constantly kept us informed with interesting information. It’s strange how much ‘control’ in direction with height changes could be achieved! The views over the valleys with sun rising will not be forgotten. The balloon basket can spin through 360 degrees so everyone got a view. Had a sporty landing with a couple of bounces which was a fun! And just to top it off some prosecco when we landed with fresh bread and bakery treats for a final debrief. They kindly organized a lift back to Siena as well (for an additional fee)
The whole experience was...
Quintin_W, Jul 2023
The whole experience was amazing from the slow drift away from the ground to floating silently over the trees and vineyards, watching deer graze under us as we floated above them, landing was not dreadful at all, great pilot, the views where breath taking
Magical
Mona_G, Jul 2023
If you are thinking about doing this, trust me and just do it! What a magical view. We were impressed with the crew and our pilot, Guido. They were in constant communication throughout our flight, and we felt safe and in good hands. I can't describe the view- it far exceeded our expectations. After landing, we were treated to breakfast and a champagne toast. Our teen boys weren't thrilled about the early morning start, but once we were airborne, they understood what an amazing experience this was. Highly recommend!
Must do adventure

Ride of a lifetime
Gail_C, Jul 2022
OMG. Words cannot explain. Our pilot "Ollie" was amazing. The views unbelieveable and the champagne toast and pastries to complete the ride made for a fabulous morning. Not to be missed.
Wish I Could Tell You...
Brian_M, Jun 2022
Disappointed our trip was canceled two days in a row. So I really cannot rate the experience. I do understand that it can be canceled due to weather conditions.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
If your flight was canceled due to bad weather, how we can do it is not up to us. You can't leave a review for the weather, and then you haven't tried the experience. it is inappropriate
Amazing trip

Nathalie_O, Aug 2021
The balloon flight over the valleys of Tuscany was an exquisite experience of special beauty. The flight was perfectly organised by very professional and friendly guides and provided a quite enchanting overview of Tuscany, sunrise included. Definitely recommended !!!
Unforgettable experience, beautiful Tuscany views!
Mariecke_F, Jul 2021
We had an amazing time and loved the stunning views over Tuscany. We even saw the Duomo of Firenze. Our pilot Federico was great and very friendly, he made our balloon flight an unforgettable experience. Also loved the fresh breakfast after the landing in open field, best morning prosecco ever! :) Thanks so much!
Breathtaking
Kaia_O, Jul 2021
Getting to see Tuscany from a bird’s eye view is something we will never forget! If you’re ever wanting to ride in a hot air balloon, the Tuscan countryside just after sunrise is the time and place to do it!
