Wonderful experience on a hot air balloon, with wonderful staff! We really enjoyed how professional and joyful the staff were about ballooning- they even brought a toast/small snack for afterwards. The trip itself was so peaceful (i think in my head i thought it would be more wobbly!) and truly awesome to see Segovia from above. I highly recommend this experience- made me want to do it again! I appreciated that they gave us a ride from a central stop in Madrid, and even allowed us a rest stop. Be prepared to get up early- it’s worth it!

Itinerary
On arrival at the site, watch your brightly colored balloon inflate while listening to a comprehensive safety briefing with your pilot. Then, step inside your balloon’s basket and take to the skies with your pilot. Each basket comfortably holds between 10 and 16 people, so there’s plenty of room for you to sightsee as you soar gently up and away.
Have your camera ready to capture bird’s-eye views of Guadarrama Regional Park as you softly glide through the early morning skies. As you pass over beautiful oak forests, your pilot will talk to you about the area’s captivating landscape; hear about lesser-known monuments like the stunning Castle of Mocha as you glide above it and learn about the mountains that frame the national park.
After an hour in the air, listen to your pilot’s instructions for a smooth landing. Once back on the ground make your way inside the on-site café to enjoy your typically lavish Spanish brunch. Meals change according to seasonality and what’s available on the day of your tour, but typical meals include slices of Iberian chorizo and sausage, cured cheeses and bread. In the winter, a warming soup is often served.
Relax as you eat, and after receiving your souvenir photo, video and flight certificate, toast your group with your glass of sparkling cava; it’s the perfect way to celebrate your Spanish hot-air balloon flight! Finish your experience at Villanueva de la Cañada or your Madrid hotel, depending on option selected.

This was an outstanding flight over the city of Toledo - the crew was very helpful and friendly, kind and they made the experience very enjoyable
The experience was amazing. It's a definite must do! The sunrise was spectacular. Loved every second.
This was soooo much fun! We ended up going to Segovia due to Esther and I'm very glad we did. The views were amazing and our guides were wonderful
Sunrise over Segovia by hot air balloon was amazing. Cava and iberico ham and manchego at landing. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
Absolutely LOVED the hot air balloon experience. I felt in safe hands with all staff and pilot, Carlos. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped back off again. We had brunch, which was a glass of fizz with the option of juice for non drinkers. Had a selection of dips, crackers, cheese, and meats. It was delicious. We had an award ceremony, we collected our certificates and had a photo with the pilot. We also had photos taken before and a video taken while we were in the air. I would highly recommend doing this experience. The only fault.. there were no toilet facilities and found it a long time to go without a toilet break.
Amazing, well organized experience. Clear instructions and serving guests was certainly a priority just behind safety
it was really unfortunate experience with unexpected landing 😎 we have wonderful time and we enjoy the view with the sunrise
It’s great trip I really enjoyed thank you for the opportunity it’s a great place and I’m so happy Hopefully I will see the next time with my loved one ☝️😊
I bought a flight for myself and my boyfriend for birthday gift. It was supposed to be in Madrid but due to the weather condition we were rescheduled for Segovia, which was fine because we got transportation from home to Segovia and back to Madrid. All the staff members were very nice, English speakers and professional. Only minus was that the basket was really crowded as they put 5 of us to one square so it was a bit difficult to move and we were on top of each other when we landed. Otherwise everything was perfect, easy, on time etc.
We got moved to the segovia site which we were kept very well informed about , we decided to stay up instead of travelling on the day and what a great move , Segovia is advertised as a day trip from Madrid , we would have made it our base instead of Madrid if we had know . The town is fantastic with so much to see , then you take the ride over the top and see everything in a new perspective. The ballon flight was amazing carlos the pilot funny and totally in control , manage your expectations you will be sharing the basket with up to 16 others but no one cares once your floating over the beautiful scenery, brilliantly morning , definitely put this one on your to do list , 10/10
The guys were wonderful! Pilot was very experienced and let you really enjoy the experience. Loved the cava and snacks afterwards! We had to move locations and I initially wasn't sure if I would like as well, but it was truly amazing!!!
Stunning, stunning STUNNING outing! Everything was so well organised and the day was perfect from beginning to end! Thank you Aerotours!
Amazing team landing was the best part. And we packing balloon together. Lastly njoyed with champaign.
We had one of the most memorable life experiences doing this. It was once in a lifetime and highly recommended.
Very well organized tour.. the view from the top is breathtaking... Must do!! Wish the pilot knew english...
The ballon tour was the best The host was superb she made you feel at ease and explained everything Best experience x
The trip started off with an added bonus where our balloon would fly over Segovia to see sights we would not otherwise see. The staff were all friendly, helpful and you always felt safe in their obvious competency flying.
The flight was amazing!!!! Worth every penny!!! The views were breathtaking and our pilot was a total baddy; she knew exactly what she was doing. I felt safe the entire ride.
It was a beautiful morning flight. My first time on a hot air balloon and loved it. My location was Segovia rather than the park. Crew was very professional and fun. Smooth ride and landing. Highly recommend!
The company ended up going to Segovia instead because of the weather. The trip was excellent and the company was great to work with.
The hot air ballon ride was wonderful. The tour operator communicated very well. Pick up and drop off was directly at our airbnb which was helpful. Watching them prepare the ballons for flight was almost as interesting and fun as the actual balloon ride. One thing to know is that climbing into and out of the basket could be challenging for older people or people who are overweight or out of shape but the tour people were awesome at assiting people with entry and exit. My only "compaint" for this excursion was saying that after the ballon ride a "Spanish buffett breakfast" would be provided. I assumed (I know my fault for assuming) this would be a sit down at table/facility for breakfast. Instead it was a card table set up in the field where we landed with mimosa and some salami and pepperoni with some crackers. You just had to stand and eat these snacks...no tables or seats. We had to stand for a good amount of time while the workers defalted the balloons and packed everything up before we could leave. Might be difficult for some people to stand that long...I ended up sitting on a rock in field. With that said, I still think this was an awesome excursion and I would do it again...it was probably my family's favorite thing we did during our week in Spain! Also the young men leading this excursion were all wonderful and did great jobs!! Love that we each got a "cerificate" at the end saying we bravely survived the hot air ballon ride!
Excellent. Beautiful views and it was guided really well. Highly recommend. About an hour in the air and the cava toast and snacks
It was an amazing experience. Exceptional views from up in the air. We also learnt some curiosities about flying in a hot-air ballon that made us enjoy even more the experience. The crew is very professional and made us feel safe during the flight. Moreover you received a very complete colection of photos and a video of the flight. I highly recommend the experience for everyone, we'll repet it for sure!
Watching the balloons get set up was almost as interesting as going up. It was very cool to see the landscape and town from such a low, yet aerial angle. Definitely a worthwhile experience. And the Cava helps! Only wish we had enough people to go to Guadarrama and not Segovia and that communication would have been clearer about that. I did not know I was going to Segovia until I was picked up
Such a fabulous tour!! Nyx was a great operator. Everything was run so professionally and I was especially appreciative that the van picked me up right outside my airbnb. This was a highlight of my trip and do well worth the money. I’ve already spread the good word about you all. 🤗
This was amazing A new experience and lovely one They are skillful and nice. Everything went well. After the flight we received photos for the whole trip.
Really amazing I liked this new experience The team was amazing and highly skilled In addition to the flight, I liked the pictures we received and the certificate
Amazing experience, the tour guides were joyful and very communicative. We felt safe, and sincerely enjoyed all of it.
The tour guides were very personal. Loved being in the air with my friends. staff was super fun! Felt incredibly welcome. Service after the flight was super cute. Was very appreciative of the staff picking us up.
Most memorable is getting screwed by the tour. He canceled our original location of Madrid and offered a different location. I asked him what time would we be picked up and he never responded. Just sent me a confirmation which I didn’t receive until the night before. He told me the next day that he put us as a no show and charged me $500 USD. Definitely not ethic.
I loved it. It was my first time doing this kind of experience and I’ll never regret it. It’s a wonderful team that makes you feel secure and comfortable. I enjoyed from the first moment until last minute. Over all, the best activity I could done in Spain!
It was great, The crew stated they were going to e-mail us pictures. Can you verify I have not received them yet. Thanks
The balloon operator was great. The ride was peaceful and the area we went over was beautiful. It was the best birthday gift I could give my husband.
- the car could not fit us well. they should have a van for 7 people. - the balloon did not go over interesting things. prisons. quary processing etc. -
What an amazing experience and Nyx was so friendly. I would highly recommend this adventure. We loved the location and flying over Segovia!
This experience was awesome and amazing so very glad that I had the opportunity to take the balloon flight while visiting Madrid
Our hot air balloon tour was incredible! We had the best time with the whole crew. Nyx, our pilot, was truly wonderful! Her passion for flying balloons made everything that much better. Segovia is such a beautiful city, and we were very thrilled to be able to fly over (parts of) it. They also surprised us with a locally sourced brunch that was delicious. Thank you so much, crew! We will absolutely be coming back!
Amazing experience and beautiful view.. The staff is friendly, and helpful. Would highly recommend, I’ll surely return!
We could not do Madrid, but instead got to do Sarviago, and were extremely pleased. Great flight, great views , great weather and the crew was very friendly, pleasant, and encouraging. Thanks , Breakfast needs upgrading, especially for vegetarian.
The staff were accommodating and went out of their way to make this bucket list adventure turkey outstanding
This activity did not disappoint. Although we could not go over Madrid (due to weather) we had the option of taking the trip over Segovia. It was amazing and from pickup time at our hotel to bringing us back the journey was wonderful. We saw how they inflated our balloon; they took amazing pics of us and emailed them to us; they gave us a small breakfast afterwards; we even received certificates . I would highly recommend this tour. It was well worth it!
Amazing experience, definitely worth it! Due to weather our flight was changed to depart outside of Segovia. The pilot and staff are in constant communication with you making process very stress free. Ended being WAY better than we expected both afraid of heights but Nyxs our pilot and the staff were great!
in your description paragraph there is 2 full stops. but apart from that the hot air balloon was good :)
The trip was moved to Segovia for weather reasons. It was great! You have to book this. It was a great experience.
This is my fourth balloon ride and it was the worst. The pilot didn’t seem to know how to land at all. It was only abt a 44 minute ride where we had a terrible landed crashed into multiple piles of rocks to finally land in a construction site. And it flew pretty close to the ground we only went high up for maybe 10 minutes. Wouldn’t recommend.
Beautiful views of Segovia and sorrow ding countryside. A small amount of excitement in there as well. The pilot and team were great hosts and very nice and generous.
Beautiful scenery! Lovely location and efficient staff. Added bonus that they provided transportation to and from our hotel.
The crew were some of the nicest people and that made the experience even more amazing. They engaged everyone and were very personable. The views speak for themself.
It was an amazing experience. First time flying a hot air balloon and it was incredibly beautiful! A must do! Love it!
