About the tour

A hot air balloon is an activity for all ages that can be shared between friends, family of colleagues.

The 1-hour flight over Segovia always takes place first thing in the morning, taking advantage of the weather conditions and soft breezes of dawn. You will arrive at the take-off point with sufficient time to observe the inflation of the balloon and receive instructions from its pilots.

During the flight over the aqueduct, the Cathedral and the formal royal palace and fortress, the Alcázar Real, the balloon can reach heights of up to 1,000 meters. You will also receive pictures and videos taken during the flight and the pilot with years of experience will show you all the details on how the balloon works. A ceremony will also be held at the end of the flight, complete with champagne, breakfast and a certificate when you touch down.
