About this tour
Rise above Segovia on a one-hour hot air balloon flight, taking in sweeping views of this UNESCO-listed city's Roman aqueducts, medieval ramparts and terracotta rooftops from the basket. After landing, toast the flight with Cava and a light breakfast spread. Based just north of Madrid, this four-hour experience includes your flight certificate, photos and optional round-trip transfers from the capital. Basket sizes adjust to group numbers, accommodating between four and twenty-four passengers plus pilot.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the launch site in time to observe the balloon being prepared and inflated—a surprisingly involved process. After a straightforward safety brief, the pilot and crew help you into the basket. The hour aloft is surprisingly serene; you'll drift silently over Segovia's skyline, spotting landmarks and sprawling countryside below. Descent is gentle. Post-flight, a modest breakfast and glass of cava happen on the ground. The whole outing runs roughly four hours. Weather dictates everything: poor conditions can trigger same-day cancellation with a reschedule or refund option.
Good to know
Minimum passenger numbers apply; cancellation can happen post-booking if targets aren't met (full refund offered). Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues or serious heart conditions. Children from age four onwards are welcome but need an adult companion. Flights depend entirely on weather. Madrid transfers are optional; public transport to Segovia exists if you skip it.
