Federico and his crew were absolutely amazing. They were professional, accommodating, and the balloon ride was spectacular. It’s amazing how serene and beautiful the views are from the air. I highly recommend taking the trip. They only do one flight a day, so book early. Also, Get Your Guide needs to update the address.
