We had the best time on the balloon ride, very professional staff and all with a sense of humour. The visit to Brugges was lovely and the champagne...yummmm. Don't forget to take your camera the scenery is just stunning both on and off the ground

We had a great time on our ballooning adventure with Flybird. The ballooning experience was incredible. As someone afraid of heights (but who had wanted to go up in a hot air balloon for quite some time), the experience of being up in the air was exhilarating but not terrifying! The view of Brugges is unparalleled! Gino is an enthusiastic, fun, knowledgeable and safe pilot (he has been ballooning for 22 years). He engages you in the entire ballooning process, and welcomes questions about ballooning! We also received a nice hot air balloon gadget. We had a great time and would especially recommend Flybird to anyone!

This Air Balloon company was extremely organized, professional, accommodating, and fun (I've delt with the opposite experience from other companies). Great experience from beginning to end including the champagne brunch at the end. I'd recommend over and over Flybird.

Great trip! Our first experience hot air ballooning and we definitely felt safe. It was like a magic carpet ride, very quiet up in the air and the landing was very fun. Captain Gino was friendly, helpful and put everyone at ease. Thanks from Poland!

We were pleased to be in the hands of our pilot, Hendrik, who was warm, friendly and humorous and clearly very skilled! He took us up close to various features but all the while we felt very safe. It was a wonderful experience! Thank you.

We joined our Belgian friends for an early morning balloon flight and it proved to be a wonderful experience.
Gino and his team offer a very professional and friendly service.
I thoroughly recommend Flybird, very nice to discover Belgium in a hot air balloon!

Dear Gino,

Just a note to thank you for the flight that was scheduled during our
stay in Bruges on Sunday 3rd of March. The experience was wonderful
and Hendrik was the nicest pilot one could wish for! We would
appreciate if you could forward that email to him (as we do not have
his email address). Below are links to my small restaurant in Beirut I
told him about, as well as Ziad's website featuring his works and
events:

My husband knew that a hot air balloon ride was on my list of things to do. He booked with hotairballoon.be for a trip and we were taking up in Bruges with my brother and sister-in-law as a surprise. This was an amazing experience. I challenge you to go with a family owned business, with excellent service and a staff that is very experienced and makes the trip memorable. From beginning to end, all of the staff make this a fun experience and before you drink the last sip of champagne, you will want to come back and do it again. Try it and will love it!
