About this tour
Float over Segovia at first light aboard a hot-air balloon, drifting above medieval ramparts, the Roman Aqueduct and Alcázar fortress. This 2–5 hour experience (1 hour airborne) launches before dawn and concludes with sparkling wine and Spanish pastries on solid ground. You'll receive flight footage, stills and a certificate to mark the occasion. Suitable for ages 5 and up, though cardiovascular fitness matters.

What to expect
You'll meet your crew before sunrise for a safety briefing and gentle ascent. Expect to stand throughout the flight—there are no seats in the basket—as you rise steadily above Segovia's stone walls and countryside. The hour aloft passes quickly; conditions shape the final timing each day. Landing is smooth, followed by an outdoor spread of regional food, cava or juice and water. The whole outing, door-to-door, takes 2–5 hours depending on weather and logistics.
