Awesome balloon ride
What a once in a lifetime beautiful adventure!! Views were phenomenal!!
via Tripadvisor
Highly recommend
Views of the Tuscan countryside from above are unforgettable. Saw other balloons in the sky which added to the experience. Thankful for the crew who were extremely helpful coordinating transport back to Florence. Champagne toast upon landing with pastries, bread, cheese and prosciutto was the perfect way to end the flight :)

Worth Every Penny!!
This experience was worth every penny!! This bucket list item is BEST spent over the farmlands of the Italian countryside at sunrise - breathtaking in every way!! The team that handled our experience took lots of photos and videos, which they shared with us immediately, they were friendly and made the trip so much fun. 11/10 recommend!!

Smooth and Beautiful
Amazing safe experience! Breath taking beautiful. Communication with company was smooth and easy. Only disappointment was we thought it was a small group and ended up being a huge one. Limited pictures that we didn’t get to be a part of since we were in the back and my 11 yr old was too short to even be seen in any of them. Communication definitely fell very short with photographer. Over all a great experience that we will never forget.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos cost?
+
Prices start at $308 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Florence is not rushed.
Is Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos?
+
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 Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos?
+
Around 6 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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos 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 Florence 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 Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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 Florence?
+
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 Florence?
+
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 Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos?

Not included: Pick up and Drop off can be arranged after booking, optional; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos?
+
Due to changing wind and weather conditions, the exact take-off location may vary slightly day to day. Rest assured, it will always be close by. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Sunrise Balloon Flight over Tuscany with Breakfast and Photos offered in?
+
