“What a magical experience!!! Highly recommend this activity, the views were so breathtaking, the balloons were gorgeous, the staff was engaging and they did everything to make our experience extra special. They provided a transport service (for an additional fee) and our driver went out of his way to provide us an awesome memory, he took us to the Duomo while there was nobody else there and took our photo, very special opportunity. The balloon ride was something I will always remember and smile about!”
