Wonderful , amazing experience with this company. Picked up before 6am and driven to the office where you are provided with a light breakfast ( cheese and lettuce sandwich, coffee and tea) then you are driven to your balloon. Given your instructions and up and away you go. Ride was about 1 with spectacular views. After landing your are given a glass of champagne to celebrate and offered the purchase of your picture for $15 Liras. Then driven back to your hotel.
