Combining a highly customized
luxury tour experience with spectacular, low-level sightseeing
by balloon each day.
Each year there are 20 departures in 6 European countries;
Italy, Austria, Turkey, Switzerland, France, and the Czech
Republic, with 27 possible Trip Combinations for those who wish
to experience two or more consecutive itineraries. Trips range
from 5 to 10 days in length, with Trip Combinations ranging from
12 to 52 days.
A trip like this presents many opportunities to meet and talk
with friendly European locals and some of Europe’s most colorful
aristocrats. On each departure, we check into one luxury hotel
for the duration of the trip, exploring the region each day by
private car and for about an hour and a half each day, from the
gondolas of our beautiful balloons. We frequently float low
enough to speak with greatly amused people in their gardens as
we drift just-above-the-rooftops of ancient cobble-stone
villages, medieval castles, or through lush, alpine meadows. The
generous hospitality we are able to create for our guests by
‘dropping in’ at farmhouses and in picturesque villages is
legendary, which makes our spirited landing celebrations shared
with the locals, whimsical and full of fun. Our days are also
packed with exquisite dining, visits to the most attractive
features of the area and wonderful, private invitations to the
castles and estates of local nobility, vintners and friendly
villagers. Each evening a festive dinner party is
planned—perhaps by firelight in an 11th century ruined
fortress, at a posh French restaurant or as guests of a Contrada
competing in the spectacle of Siena’s Palio.
