Bucket list item - Everything was great with this experience! Hotel pick up and shuttled to balloon launch. Balloon ride was so much smoother than expected. Our Captain Mike was great, very friendly, answered all questions, one lady (I didn't know, part of another group but in our basket) was terrified, she was so scared and Mike talked her through everything answered all her 10,000 questions and kept her very calm. Once we were up and she was very calm and enjoyed the flight and sights. She was very nice but extremely scared and Mike handled her like a pro. Says a lot about the kind of guy he was as someone else may have dismissed her fears and made it a miserable experience for all of us on that flight. I would totally do this again anytime I am in the area. Keep in mind weather changes cause cancellations... book at the beginning of your trip so if cancelled you have a better chance of getting to do this on another day!

Great adventure - Great experience and professional staff! We had not so great weather and were still able to experience our flight at a different location. Communication was great and breakfast/champagne was the cherry on top

Worth it - Great experience from pick up to drop off. Everyone is easy-going and professional. We rode in the larger basket with 17 people. Smooth take off and landed and really in awe to be in the air. The brunch after was charming too. Getting up early was worth it! That heat from the ballon will shock you. A hat can help!

not happy with it - I would not recommend this hot air balloon company. The experience was very disappointing and not worth the money. Our flight was advertised as about 45 minutes, but we were only high in the sky for a few minutes. Most of the time, we were flying extremely low, around 30–40 feet above the ground, so instead of enjoying scenic views, we mostly saw ground trash. Meanwhile, other hot air balloons were flying much higher, which made our experience even more frustrating. Another issue was overcrowding. When I booked the trip, it clearly stated that the basket would have 8 passengers. However, there were actually 13 people in the basket. Each section held 3 people, but my section had 4, making it very cramped. We could barely move at all during the flight. For the price we paid, I expected a much better and more comfortable experience.
