Tamara Condrei Hey Roman, ich wollte dir einfach mal ein großes Lob aussprechen! Unser Tandem-Flug war einfach großartig! Du bist ein fantastischer Pilot und hast mich die ganze Zeit über sicher und souverän durch die Lüfte geführt. Deine Professionalität und dein Können sind wirklich beeindruckend. Du hast mir das Gefühl gegeben, dass ich in den besten Händen bin. Die Aussicht war atemberaubend, und ich habe mich die ganze Zeit über total sicher und wohl gefühlt. Aber nicht nur der Flug selbst war toll, sondern auch die Stimmung, die du geschaffen hast, war einfach super! Du hast mir ein unvergessliches Geburtstagsgeschenk gemacht, für das ich dir von Herzen danken möchte. Deine positive Energie und dein Lächeln haben den Tag noch schöner gemacht. Vielen Dank für alles! Ich kann dich nur weiterempfehlen und freue mich schon darauf, irgendwann mal wieder mit dir zu fliegen. Ganz liebe Grüße Jacqueline Binnemann Ich möchte mich von ganzem Herzen bei Christina für das unvergessliche Erlebnis bedanken! Der Tandemsprung war einfach atemberaubend, ein Gefühl von Freiheit, Adrenalin und unbeschreiblicher Schönheit, das ich niemals vergessen werde. Christina hat mich vom ersten Moment an mit ihrer Ruhe, Professionalität und Herzlichkeit sofort in Sicherheit gewogen. Das Vertrauen, das sie mir geschenkt hat, und ihre liebevolle Begleitung haben den Flug zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Danke, Christina, für dieses unglaubliche Abenteuer, das mein Herz höher schlagen ließ. Du hast nicht nur meine Erwartungen übertroffen, sondern mir auch gezeigt, wie schön das Leben aus der Luft sein kann. Ich bin unendlich dankbar für dieses Erlebnis und deine liebevolle Unterstützung, du bist einfach großartig! Wenn du möchtest, kann ich die Bewertung noch persönlicher anpassen. Orochi Kroker Absolutely fantastic experience, super friendly and helpful, will definitely do it again. 🥰 Bianca Blom It was AMAZING!! An experience I will never forgot and will definitely do this again! jiyoon Kim 한국인 리뷰가 없는데 아마 제가 첫 한국인 리뷰가 되지 않을까 싶네요. 저희는 프라하에서 렌터카 빌려서 바트고이제른 숙소에 머물며 할슈타트 지역에서 뭐 하지 찾아보다가 오스트리아가 열기구가 유명하다는걸 기억하고 검색해 보았습니다. 열기구는 오스트리아 현지 분들도 자주 타는거 같지는 않았어요, 다들 누가 티켓 선물해줘서 타게 됐다고 하시더라구요. 가격대가 좀 쎄긴해요 ^^ 그래서 그런지 한국 정보는 물론 영어 정보도 많지는 않았어요. 챗지피티 사용해서 번역기 돌려가면서 예약했는데 어렵지는 않았습니다. 저는 Falken Air 공식홈페이지에 들어가서 winter alpine 코스를 예약했어요. 요청사항에 나는 관광객이여서 핸드폰 번호는 없고 이메일로 소통하자고 하니 바로 예약 확인 메일 보내주고 그거 컨펌 누르니 예약 됐습니다. 이메일로 장소, 시간, 준비물들 다 안내 받았습니다. 필츠모스에서 오전 8시에 만났는데, 아무래도 아시안 관광객이 없다보니 어떤 표시판이나 영어 설명은 없었어요. 대신 열기구가 워낙 크고 눈에 띄다 보니 대충 아 저기구나 해서 모였습니다. 검정 벤에 어떤 남성분이 이름 체크하시고 거기서 현장결제 가능하다고 해서 신용카드로 계산했어요. 저희 조종사 분은 마이클이였는데 브라질과 두바이 열기구 대회도 참가할 정도로 베테랑이였고 정말 부드러운 비행을 해주셨어요. 90분 정도 열기구를 탔고, 끝나고 같이 풍선 정리도 하고, 카페에가서 샴페인마시고 열기구 탑승했다는 수료식도 하고 너무 추억 가득했습니다!! 오스트리아분들 너무 친절하고 유머러스해서 열기구 타는 내내 너무 즐거웠어요🥰 성인 두명 합쳐서 595유로 한화 98만원 돈으로 좀 비싸기는 했지만, 살면서 열기구로 알프스 산맥을 본다는게 몇번이나 있겠어 하고 결제했어요. 정말 후회없는 선택이였고 평생 이 순간을 추억하며 살거 같아요. 해발 3000 미터 위에서 설산을 바라보면 정말 경이롭다는 말로는 다 표현 할 수 없어요. 최고의 경험을 선사해준 Falken Air에 감사합니다. ** 주차는 Cafe la Vie 옆에 유료 주차장이 있어요. 선결제 4.5 유로 정도 하면 4-5시간 주차 가능해요! 티켓 뽑아서 자동차 안에 보이게 올려두면 됩니다. Austin Govey Super professional and fun! Nicola Kempton Trip was amazing experience, the team is very experienced and amazing views from the air. Once in a lifetime trip 😊 Carmen Hobein - Hundeschule individuell Es war supergenial, kann ich nur empfehlen 🤩 Vielen Dank, das es so kurzfristig geklappt hat, ein tolles Erlebnis 🫶 Tino W. Doch schon ein paar Tage her, aber der Flug war ein wahnsinnig tolles Erlebnis. Das Team ist super eingespielt und professionell. Angst braucht wirklich niemand haben. Meine Freundin und ich sind abwechselnd mit Willi geflogen. Hier großen Dank an ihn. Von der Buchung bis zur Landung 1A+. Bilder und Videos sollte man auf jeden Fall mitnehmen. Tati Dimcic Ein fantastisches Erlebnis! Die Organisation des Tandemflugs war hervorragend - alles lief reibungslos und pünktlich. Mein Fluglehrer war unglaublich sympathisch und hat mit seiner Erfahrung sofort Vertrauen geschaffen. Seine ruhige und professionelle Art hat mir jegliche Nervosität genommen, und ich konnte den Flug in vollen Zugen genießen. Ein unvergessliches Abenteuer, das ich jedem empfehlen kann!Google Gesamtbewertung 5.0 von 5, basierend auf 390 Bewertungen
