A Bucket List Item! - What a wonderful experience! You get to help set up and break down the balloon ( It's work, but how many can say they did this?) The experience in the air is peaceful and so beautiful! It's well worth the small investment and champagne 🍾 (or mimosas) and muffins are more than a just reward! The staff is great and are such a solid team!

Absolute must-do - An stunning flight, amazing views, I enjoyed every minute of it, from the breathtaking lift-off to the rather bumpy landing, which was a lot of fun :) A big thank you to all the crew, you were wonderful!
