Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Vilnius Old Town

It was a surreal experience! The staff was very professional and friendly. The take off and landing were smooth . There was champagne at the end of the flight and return to the starting point. Worth the price!

The guys from Hot airlines were super professional . I would recommend them to everyone. The views were spectacular and we felt safe at all times

Friends said they respect my courage when I told them about my flight in the hot air balloon. Honestly during the take off I felt a bit unusual, but the whole team was so well prepeared and professional before the flight and also in between that I would never say it was fear... During the flight the experience was so overwelming that I could not do anything but smile. If you read this and should have the chance to do the trip, too, do not hesitate. You will never forget this flight - neither will I. Thank you to the team and Viator!

Excellent service - team was super attentive and shared positive energy! We had an evening flight with enterntaining guide Vytas. Thank you for this experience! For other travellers - I would recommend to book in advance and have quite flexible evening as timing is clear only on the day of the flight.

Superb experience! Excellent service! Nothing was too much of a problem! We had an amazing and knowledgeable pilot Vytautas - the best! Highly recommend. An unforgettable evening! Thank you all - you have an outstanding team!

All staff were very professional and the pilot gave us a great trip over the countryside surrounding Vilnius. This was our first time in a hot air balloon and it exceeded expectations in all ways. Highly recommended.

I'd never been on a hot air balloon before, and the idea of seeing Old Town seemed quite exciting....so I booked. The van arrived at the hotel right on time, I jumped in, the driver and pilot and I chatted about various flying experiences etc, and I guess it still hadn't sunk in yet....Then we arrived in this beautiful park, where locals and tourists had started to gather in groups with kids, all around over the park. We were given very explicit instructions on what to do or not to do, for the safety of everyone who was going to fly. There were 6 guests and the pilot....and we all kinda started getting to know one another while the balloon was being prepared. The actual flight was about 45 minutes, but from pick up to drop off, this beautiful, life-changing adventure lasted about 3 and a 1/2 hours. When the balloon was all ready, we were carefully instructed on how to get into the basket etc. Once we were all in, the balloon lifted off so slowly that it was near impossible to even feel that we had lifted. These groups of people slowly became smaller, and as we gently rose, we started moving west. We could see the vastly different layout of the Old Town, then over the city which is fairly large from the air....we kept traveling west, to the setting sun, and the low angle lighting was perfect for great photography. Except for the sound of the burners occasionally, there was absolute silence, and a pilot who was so skilled, that my fears of heights, and crashing became nothing, I was awed like never before .... we then crossed over the river, and carried on past the city, over forest, rural areas, and highlights were briefly explained to us, without detracting from the most beautiful scenery, which only seemed to get better as we were then allowed to fly at much lower altitude (air traffic control rules), and actually see the houses and farms and forests...and I kept thinking that this was the highlight of my life so far, and how glad I was that I trusted my gut and booked this. The entire team was so professional, humorous and knowledgeable, and safety was taken extremely seriously, so I can honestly say that i didn't feel a hint of fear at any point during this incredible ride....if you have the means and time, I highly recommend this. I tried to book a 2nd tour for following day, but was sold out. Excellent!!!!! ******

During our brief visit to Vilnius, we had the opportunity to take a hot air balloon flight. Although originally scheduled over the Old Town, the winds were contrary, so we flew over Trakai Castle instead. The team was great and spoke excellent English. We flew with pilot/owner Vytautas Samarinas, who told us much about Lithuania and ballooning. We flew about nine miles in just under an hour and saw not only the impressive Trakai Castle from the air but also wild boars and deer as we flew just over the treetops of a neighboring forest. The crew picked us up at our hotel and returned us there. I have no hesitation in recommending them and would love to fly with them again, next time over Old Town Vilnius.

I felt happy in the sky. It was very good experience with beautiful sunset. Staffs were so kind and skilled. I will recommand this hot air balloon tour to all visitors of Vilnius.

Very professional. Safety conscious. English speaker to provide instructions and explanations on ground. Friendly people. Lots of balloons lifting off and floating at once. Really convenient door to door pickup and drop off. And Lithuania is the least expensive place in the world to float because there are so many balloons in the country. Great staff. Delightful experience.
