What Our Guests Are Saying

The best hot air balloon experience ever. My girlfriend and I bought tickets for a balloon ride and it was epic! I recommend anyone who has never experienced a balloon ride to take advantage of one if presented. The aerial view was amazing and we lucked out with a pilot that was sweet as pie. Bob and his wife Marie were the best!
