Rome: Private Hot-Air Balloon Ride
Escape the hustle and bustle of the Eternal City and join us 60 km north of Rome, in the heart of the Tiber Valley. We invite you to experience a unique aerial adventure over the Roman and Umbrian countryside. Take to the skies in complete tranquility and admire an exceptional panorama of hilltop villages, lush forests, and rugged landscapes.
Our promise: complete privacy on your airship. You’ll be all by yourselves, with no other passengers on board. This 100% private and welcoming atmosphere makes our flight the ideal way to enjoy an exceptional moment in complete privacy (a marriage proposal, birthday, family reunion) or to bring your employees together for a custom corporate event (seminar, team-building activity).
Private Hot-Air Balloon Ride and Local Appetizers 60 km from Downtown Rome
- Enjoy a hot air balloon exclusively reserved for your group, with the freedom to choose your flight date.
- The Panoramic Flight: Carried by the winds as you take off from Magliano Sabina, you’ll soar to an altitude of 500 meters to take in the majestic Tiber Valley, Mount Soracte, the hills of Viterbo, the Cimini Mountains, and the Sabine Mountains. The pilot will then glide at low altitude, skimming the treetops to offer you a bird’s-eye view of centuries-old bell towers and fortifications.

What are the terms and conditions for changes or cancellations?
Since every event is unique, the cancellation policies depend on the requirements of our local partners (hotels, private venues, or sites with strictly named-ticket policies, such as the Colosseum). These policies are always clearly and transparently outlined in your quote and contract.
-
Agency Fees: Upon signing the contract and paying the first installment, the agency fees are considered definitively earned and non-refundable, even in the event of a cancellation at no charge by the service providers.
-
Supplier Services: Cancellations of services (accommodations, activities, guides) are subject to the specific schedule outlined in your contract, based on the date the cancellation is notified.
What payment methods are accepted?
We offer two secure payment methods:
-
Bank transfer (SEPA or international): This is our preferred payment method. Any fees charged by your bank for the transaction are your responsibility.
-
Credit Card: You can pay directly online through our ultra-secure partner platform, Stripe. Note: A 3.9% transaction fee applies to the total amount for credit card payments.
Can I make a reservation directly on the website?
No, it is not possible to make a reservation or pay directly online.
Unlike automated booking platforms (such as GetYourGuide or Viator), we do not offer standardized services. Every event or corporate retreat is unique: we create a fully customized program to ensure the actual availability of our local partners, verify the logistical feasibility of your project, and tailor the terms to the specific needs of your group. After you’ve shared your preferences via the “Discuss My Project” button or confirmed “My Selection, ” a dedicated project manager will work with you to refine your specifications before sending you a detailed quote.
