Guide Bio
Benjamin is the co-founder of Ballooning Barcelona and has been working as a balloon pilot in Catalonia for many years. His love for flying over Mother Earth began after his first magic hot air balloon flight with a friend. His aim is to replicate that feeling for his guests, and Catalonia is the perfect playground with gorgeous landscapes and panoramic vistas.
As seen on : Tripadvisor. ” The booking and payment was smooth. Benjamin answered all my questions and I felt very comfortable booking the package. Nicholas picked us up at Las Ramblas at 6:15am. Then we picked up another group and drove about an hour to our destination. There are no facilities at the destination so if you need to use the bathroom you need to let them know to stop at a service station along the way.When we got to the destination it was a little weird as no one told us what to do so we just hung around and looked at them get the balloon ready. Then we were up and away. We just floated. i It was a little overcast that day so we couldn’t see much but just being above the clouds was amazing. It was so calm and natural. Then we returned to where we started and had Sunny D and sandwiches. After that it was a long drive back as we had to drop off the balloon before heading back to Barcelona. I thought better arrangements could have been made to drop off the balloon so that we would not have spent so much time driving. If we weren’t so tired it might have been nice as we got to see much of the countryside but everyone was dozing in the van. “
As seen on : Tripadvisor. ” What an incredible experience! Once in a lifetime! The booking process and payment was so easy and smooth. Benjamin was great at answering all my questions and I felt very comfortable booking the private flight. We opted for a pick up direct from our hotel lobby – Joseph was very humorous and made the drive enjoyable for us both! We stopped for coffee on the way and then continued our journey to the air field where we met Nicholas. After helping with the set up of the balloon, we climbed aboard, it was really an incredible experience – made even better by the friendly Nicholas and Joseph! After landing we had a special surprise brunch and Cava toast which was an extra treat. Such an amazing day! Want to do it all over again! “
