What are the types of balloon rides available in Tuscany?

- In Tuscany, you will have the option of taking different types of flights. You can take a shared flight, which is the cheapest but an option that will leave you pleasantly surprised. This sort of flight requires you to purchase an individual ticket, but you will be sharing a basket with other passengers.

You can also book an exclusive flight with your own personal basket. This Tuscan choice is excellent for a romantic getaway with your lover. Is there anything more romantic than flying above the Tuscan vineyards in a hot air balloon?

What are the best spots in Tuscany to fly over in a hot air balloon?

• Flying above the Tuscan capital of Florence will let you admire the splendour of its red roofs, the historic Palazzo Chigi, the famous Ponte Vecchio, the bell towers of the famous painter Giotto, and the magnificent cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, all of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

• You can also soar above the Chianti vineyards in Tuscany. The most famous wine-producing hills in Italy, if not the world, will be the backdrop to your spectacular journey. On occasion, you may be able to have an appetizer after the activity and sample one of these well-known wines.

• Another option while booking a hot air balloon flight in Tuscany is flying over the gorgeous city of Siena. You will fly over the Torre del Mangia and the Roman-Gothic cathedral, or the cathedral of Siena, to see the historic Piazza del Campo, where the famous Palio di Siena is held every year, and continue your Renaissance city flight over the Torre del Mangia and the Roman-Gothic cathedral, or the cathedral of Siena.

- While still in the province of Siena, one of these balloon rides will allow you to obtain a bird's eye view of San Gimignano. The medieval towers of this UNESCO-listed city are well-known. Only 14 of the 72 medieval structures are still standing. The oldest Rognosa tower, which stands 52 meters tall, was built in the 13th century. The beauty of these towers from above is something you must not miss while visiting this location. The Apennine chains can also be seen in the distance.

• Monte Amiata: Located between Maremma and the province of Grosseto, this volcanic mountain range contains numerous stunning monuments and points of interest. In the winter, you will also be able to see the snowy mountain, providing a lovely and unique aerial perspective.

• Val d'Orcia: Old castles, ancient villages, beautiful olive orchards, and vineyards are just a few of the sceneries in this area. The Orcia river valley is an unpolluted and scenic region that produces highly regarded wines such as Brunello di Montalcino and has inspired numerous Renaissance painters, including Michelangelo, for their works.

• Lucca: Known as 'the city of a hundred churches,' it is characterized by magnificent bell towers, towers, and Renaissance palaces. Lucca is surrounded by a sixteenth-century wall worth admiring from your balloon.

Colle Val d'Elsa, Montaione, Barberino Val d'Elsa, Val di Chiana, and the Crete Senesi are other notable destinations that you must consider in case you don't wish to fly over the places we mentioned before.

Hot air balloon adventures can be done in a group, with groups ranging from four to eighteen persons. So don't be concerned if you want to invite all of your pals; there will be enough space!

What will the experience be like?

In Tuscany, the activity will be carried out as follows: initially, you will be permitted to see the balloon's inflation. Meanwhile, a little seminar will be held that will provide you with the required information and norms of conduct. Then you can select between in-flight toast or breakfast; if you like, our partners can even give you a full meal. The activity lasts around an hour including about 40 minutes of flight time. Our partners will pick you up once you arrive, allowing you to return to base camp without difficulty.

What should you bring on the day of the activity?

Participants in the flight should wear comfortable shoes and long pants. We urge that you bring a camera with you so that you may capture the breath-taking views that Tuscany has to offer.

Balloon photography courses, bound flights (basic instruction to become a balloon pilot), romantic balloon flights, group balloon flights, and many other options are available for a very reasonable price in Tuscany. Consult the pricing on our website if you don't believe us ;)
