Nicolò – ★★★★★ 
Ho voluto regalare a mia figlia per il suo 16simo compleanno un volo privato in mongolfiera. Tutto estremamente perfetto: non ci sono altri aggettivi. I voli possono essere condizionati dalle variazioni del meteo, ma, vista l’organizzazione dello staff si può riprogrammare il volo in altra data. Noi siamo partiti da Dovera alle 06.30. In poco tempo hanno predisposto mongolfiera e siamo partiti. Volo di circa 1h: poi siamo atterrati in una zona differente e con la macchina di supporto che seguiva da terra ci hanno recuperato. Il nostro pacchetto includeva anche colazione. Consiglio. Tutto lo staff trasuda passione: spiegano anche gli aspetti tecnici che rendono ancora più bella l’esperienza.
