🎈 What to Expect

Your morning begins after the final weather assessment, with your exact meeting point, meeting time and Google Maps location sent to you the afternoon or evening before your flight. Launch locations are selected according to the weather to provide the safest flying conditions around Siena and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. If you've arranged an optional hotel transfer in advance, you'll be collected before travelling to the launch site.

After meeting your pilot and ground crew, you'll receive a full safety briefing explaining the flight and landing procedures. As the balloon is prepared, you're welcome to watch the inflation or even help as it fills with hot air before stepping into the basket. Once airborne, you'll gently rise between approximately 500 and 3,000 feet, allowing the wind to guide your journey across the countryside.

The scenery changes throughout the flight, with panoramic views across vineyards, olive groves, cypress-lined roads, historic villas, medieval villages and centuries-old castles surrounding Siena. Every balloon flight follows a different route depending on the day's wind conditions, making each experience unique while offering a peaceful way to appreciate one of Italy's best-known regions from above.

Following a gentle landing, the ground crew will be waiting to meet the balloon before transferring you back to the original launch area. Before continuing your day, you'll enjoy a picnic-style breakfast with local products, a fresh croissant and a glass of sparkling wine to celebrate your flight.
