Unforgettable balloon flight!!!
Very efficient and kind staff since the first contact with Francesco. The adventure was conducted with great safety and responsibility. Pilot Aldo is very experienced and passed us trust. I highly recommend!!! I only emphasize that the flight is not always made over the Sassi de Matera, given the weather conditions at the moment, which, however, does not depend on the company. It's worth it!!!
Response from the operator: Muito obrigado Luciana, estamos esperando por você para o próximo vôo para a Calábria

Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.
How much does Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast cost?
+
Prices start at $1,997 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Matera usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Matera is not rushed.
Is Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Matera, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Matera can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Matera and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Matera within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Matera?
+
On Outty we rank every Matera experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover Matera, the ancient city - English tour, Tour in the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta and Rock Church, Matera's Sassi Walking Tour - PREMIUM GUIDES. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Matera?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Matera?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast?
+
Included: Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast?
+
It is mandatory for passengers to make initial phone contact at least 48 hours before the flight and will be contacted within 12 hours of the flight to receive more details about the departure point. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Exclusive Private Hot Air Balloon Flight in Matera with Breakfast wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
