      A forever memory!
      This is how we kicked off our Barcelona trip, and it was absolutely perfect. The staff is so kind, and attentive. From the shuttle ride to the location, to the pilots once we arrived for the flight. They had a lot of special details throughout that I would prefer to not mention here so you too can experience the “surprises” that make the moment so special. My partner surprised me and proposed to me during the flight and they played a big role in making this a magical moment for us. Prior to our arrival they communicated with him via email and WhatsApp. Our flight took us over the Pyres Mountains which added a different views for us during the Barcelona trip. We hope to visit them in the future when we’re back, but until then you definitely should! Special thanks to Andres, Fernando, y John.

      excellent staff and pilot
      We were able to see the entire process and help with putting the balloon away. We took off very easily and had a very peaceful tour and got some history and information. The landing was graceful and followed by champagne and some local foods. It was well worth the money.

      ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
      I braved this trip on my own as my friends were too scared to do it. The crew were that welcoming and fun that I forgot I was on my own! This is once in a lifetime experience and I would strongly recommend it to anyone. Absolutely fantastic day! I traveled in Barcelona, the views were unreal and breathtaking. The ride was really chilled, it just felt like we were floating. I am scared of heights but I was fine. The landing was perfect. The crew were all amazing! They also send you pics after which is a bonus. As well as snacks and champagne!

      Good start for bachelorette party
      The communication prior the flight was excellent: Mr. Muga answered all our questions and accommodated our requests, e.g., transportation to the flight location. The shuttle was on time. The pilot was very knowledgeable, satisfying our technical curiosities. We were supposed to fly in the Montserrat area, but due to fog we flew a bit farther from that location - it was still good fun. The coffee at breakfast could have been stronger for my taste. We ended with splendid cheese and champagne. Thanks again!

      One thing you must do
      This is just an amazing experience whether you do it as an individual or as a group. They were extremely friendly pilots who took us on the balloons and the views are ecstatic from almost a km above the earth! You cannot just imagine the beauty of earth unless you are really high up to see it!

    This company is an absolute disgrace and scam.

    I bought one of their coupons for a flight for 2 on Groupon, and when I tried to redeem it, they started to bring up excuses citing non existent conditions on the cupón pretending 100€ more to fly on the weekend. When I called them out on their scam and said I would put forward a complaint on Groupon, they started to delete the messages on WhatsApp. Luckily I took screenshot.
    Avoid them like the plague

    We rarely find ourselves in situations where we have not been able to explain the operation of our reservations to customers or we have not been able to offer spaces on the date desired by the customer. All flights (regardless of the price you paid for the ticket) are subject to a minimum and maximum number of participants. We have sometimes suggested an additional payment to make the flight viable on a specific day. We find it hard to get into situations where we believe that far from being able to enjoy a pleasant experience can result in an awkward situation for both parties. Just look at the other comments from our customers to see what situation we are in (all very good). We want to enjoy and share the experience in a convivial way and escape unpleasant situations.

    Can not recommend Fernando and his team enough! The pick up was easy and centrally located, they provided coffee and croissants upon arrival, and then we were off! The views were spectacular and the ride was so smooth. Fernando was very knowledgeable about the area, the history of hot air balloons, etc. He and team took many photos and videos for us. Upon landing we had a small picnic in a field with champagne, strawberries, and cured meats. Then we were driven back to our meeting point. I would fly in Fernando's hot air balloon every day if i could!!

    It's impossible to pass all feeling of the flight and experience with Barcelonaballoonflights. Absolutely easy to communicate, absolutely accurate guys. Everything was exactly like they promised. It's amazing. They are very professional and very warm people. It was just pleasure to spend time to takeoff place, back and of course during the flight. Jordi was our pilot and he speaks English excellent with unforgettable humor and interesting details about landscape and ballooning. We was happy to make a flight and it was really great job from Barcelonaballonflights for sure. Good lucj, guys!

    The trip started with preparing the baloon for the flight where you could learn all the principles of baloon functioning or just enjoy the sunrise together with the breakfast offered by the team. After you prepare the baloon and do the safety check you begin to rise together with the sun to an altitude of about 1000m in the air where the atmosphere is all calm and you can see the surroundings in an absolutely calm space and just enjoy the view, the fresh air and the company of your loved ones. Trust me the experience is fabulous and will be a memory for the years to come and something big to tell your friends about! Bonus, after the landing we had champagne, cheese and nuts from the amazing and experienced team whom took great care of us.

    Our experience with Barcelona Balloon Flights started out very bad. We were instructed to be at Plaza de Catalunya for a 6:30AM pickup. We were at the pickup location prior to 6:30AM, but no one was there. There was an issue of some sort (still unclear), and the driver from Barcelona Balloon Flights did not arrive until 7:30AM. We then sat in rush hour traffic for over an hour and arrived at the balloon at 8:50AM. We were supposed to arrive by 7:00AM. Because we were 2 hours late, we missed out on:
    -Breakfast at the balloon site
    -Setting up the balloon (and taking pictures with the balloon blown up)
    -A safety briefing

    The balloon was fully blown up and ready to go when we arrived. As soon as we got out of the van, we were being told to 'Get in the balloon! We have to leave!'. It was very hectic, stressful, and chaotic. I also did not like that we did not have a safety briefing of any kind. There were 9 people plus our instructor in the basket, for a total of 10 people. It did feel a little cramped but it wasn't terrible.

    We had a foggy day, but the clouds were low enough that our balloon was able to go over them. Being above the clouds was a surreal experience that I'm sure we will never forget. After that, the remainder of the balloon ride is up and down until you're in a good position to land. We were in the balloon for about 1 hour.

    Overall, being in the ballon was a lot of fun, but due to the rough start we felt like we missed out on half of the experience. We were looking forward to setting up the balloon, and being excited as we saw it get blown up. Instead we were rushed in without any regard to rules, regulations, or general safety guidelines. The majority of our experience consisted of waiting in the plaza and sitting in traffic. Overall I would still recommend the balloon ride.

    I cannot say enough positive comments about this company and the experience! Staff was patient online while I emailed several questions before booking then all the details were provided in an email. We were picked up by a very nice Australian man who talked with us about the culture the whole ride to the hanger. We were a little nervous when we off-roaded to get there but it was all something to laugh at later. While the staff set up they allowed us to take pictures, help and breakfast was even provided!! We had an AMAZING pilot who took us up and taught us all about the area and art of flying. Afterwards, we toasted champagne and ate cheese/meats! This was the last day of our trip and we couldn't have spent it a better way. THANK YOU !!

    This was the highlight of our trip!! Neal and the pilot Arnau are amazing and very handsome. The time in the air was breath taking and it was such a smooth ride. It is definitely worth it and the landscape is beautiful!! If you're trying to decide between companies for air ballooning in Barcelona choose Barcelona Balloon Flights.

    My experience with Barcelona balloon flights was nothing short of exceptional. Our email correspondence with the owner was professional, efficient and helpful, and our pilot was knowledgable, friendly, and overall wonderful. We had a lovely breakfast before and a perfect champagne toast to top it all off. Breath taking views! It was a surprise for my 60 year old father who has flown 6 times before, and he said this was by far his favourite. Definitely a major highlight of our trip.
