A 6 stars experience!
A truly great experience, a fantastic team, and an unbeatable pilot. They take care of every single detail. From the preparations to the flight and all the way through to the farewell, I would give them at least 6 stars!

Professional team who LOVE their jobs. and it shows.
an early morning pick up in Barcelona 5:45 AM, easy mini van ride pre-determined pick up point city centre, then straight to launch site (with a bathroom break enroute). 3 balloons. Pilot Benjamin briefed us on safety & what to expect & safety drills. it was spectacular riding quietly over flocks that rustled when we came close. Up & Down back & forth It was fantastic to take a lot of images +vids all the way to the snow covered Pyrennes. Multilingual tour, time IN basket up in the air was at least 75 minute or more plus. A splendid way to spend yunmoning in the most secerne regions. this is adventure catagory. Fear not your time & money is well spent. This is the Right excursion, safe & sound. BIG plus back in Barcelone by noon. well done. for those that didn't have a camera or missed a shot , Benjamin had us covered with a post uplod of vids & image so we all had a memory imagery of this. These guys got all the bases covered. Well done team. Did I mention the awarding of our flying certificate. post trip we enjoyed Cava & snacks to celebrate the mission. Well doneteam 5 STARS I'm a believer. well done Benjamin & crew. see you soon. best of luck this season. Cheers from Andrew in Canada

Cloud 9
It was an amazing experience, the whole team was great. From start to end the experience keep you hype. Once you are flying it is so surreal, doesn't even feel like you are moving, it was amazing to be on top of the clouds. The view is unbelievable. After the trip we all enjoyed a brunch by the crew and it was delicious. Even if you are not an early riser or doesn't like highs I still recommended this trip, you will not regret it. Will definitely do this trip with them again or any of their other activities. thumbs up

Amazing Experience, Great team
highly recommended experience, in beautiful surroundings of barcelona, early wakeup around 5 am then watching the balloon being pumped up in a big field. About 1 hour flight with very capable, professional yet relaxing pilot. Not a single feeling of air sickness or worries. then cava and breakfast. we had a super time, thank you !

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours 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 Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona?
+
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 Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona?
+
Around 7 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 Barcelona 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 Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pre-Pyrenees Balloon Flight with optional pick-up in Barcelona 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 Barcelona 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 Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel, Cliff Jump & lunch Small Group. 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 Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. 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 Barcelona?
+
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.
