Our Team

Buddy Bombard's Europe is an American company with its headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Our trip operations center is located in Europe.

Each of Buddy's executive staff in America and in Europe has more than 25 years experience in the upscale adventure travel business in addition to their individual specialties. Collective business and program experience at the staff and senior levels is more than 150 years.

Buddy Bombard's staff balloon pilots are Americans with tenure of 15 to 27 years with Buddy Bombard's Europe. Each has more than 5,000 hours of piloting experience, far beyond the FAA requirement of 35 hours for a balloon pilot.

Our ground crew for the balloons is comprised of 8 to 12 European gentlemen just-graduated from college, who are eager to perform and embrace the unprecedented opportunities our trips present for cultural intermingling. We are very proud of our 'red-shirts', who each year are hand-selected for their academic achievements as well as for their work ethic and respectful social skills.

Our guides throughout Europe are highly educated in their fields and all have long been a part of the Buddy Bombard family. Each brings their own special charm to our programs. They have been selected for their knowledge, clarity, sincerity and friendliness, and for their untiring efforts to ensure our guests spectacular views and understanding of the places they are visiting.
