• 1Unfortunate

  We stayed in Madrid and took a train to the airport in order to catch a bolt to the hot air balloon experience. While in the Bolt we experienced stand still traffic about 15 minutes in. We called the Air Balloon Operators to let them know our group was going to arrive late and asked if they could be flexible. They asked us how late, we told them 15-20 mins late. They told us that would be too late and we would miss it, no refunds. We asked if it was a way to reschedule to the next day, they said no. 2 other people from my group called and were told the same thing. Frustrated, the driver of Bolt offered to take us to our hotel instead of sitting in traffic further and taking an hour ride to be turned away, We accepted. Another person from the hot air balloon operator called us back 20 mins later and told us we could come late (because he hadn’t realized the group size not being there would impact them taking flight). Now because it impacts them, they want to be flexible. Anyway, we told him that we had already went back to our hotel. So turns out it wasn’t because they couldn’t be flexible, it was because they didn’t want to at the time when we asked. We ended up not being able to participate and lost on our money. I won’t book with them again.

• 5Must do!!

  Loved the experience! And beautiful!! Only thing I would give feedback for would be to be less crowded. It was uncomfortable for everyone and to maneuver. We were packed like sardines and had trouble turning or move. Some discomfort is tolerable but not like how we all were. Also, the downtime was a bit much. I have done another balloon ride and awhile getting the balloon deflated, someone would usually quickly set up the drinks etc. waiting in a manure field was not pleasant. However, the team was very professional and very nice and made an effort to make sure everything was trying to run smoothly.

• 5Easy transportation from...

  Easy transportation from Madrid. Great flight with views over Segovia and the surrounding area. Nice ending with snacks and mimosas after landing. We stayed in Segovia the rest of the day and got the train back to Madrid.

• 5Perfect First Balloon Ride

  I am so glad I chose this tour with Aerotours. They are very friendly and professional. They keep us posted thru emails from the time we booked the tour. I changed the hotels a few times but they were very flexible with the pick up location. We were picked up on time from our hotel so we arrived in the meeting place early and able to watch them set up the balloon ride and the beautiful sunrise. We had a very smooth flight and really enjoyed the spectacular views in Segovia. The tour ended with a short “graduation” ceremony where they gave us certificates with light snacks and champagne. They sent us a link for the pictures and videos to remind us of our amazing experience. Thank you very much Aerotours!

About Segovia

Segovia is a hilltop city in Castile with a Roman aqueduct, a turreted Alcázar, a Gothic cathedral and a UNESCO-listed old town.

Segovia stands on a rocky ridge above two rivers, about 1,000 metres high on the Castilian plateau, and its old town is listed by UNESCO along with the Roman aqueduct. The aqueduct, built in the first century AD, strides through the town on more than 160 granite arches, held together without mortar. At the ridge's western tip, the Alcázar rises like a ship's prow with slate-roofed turrets, and the cathedral, among the last great Gothic churches built in Spain, anchors the Plaza Mayor.
