It was an absolutely amazing experience. The team at Ballooning company are professionals and know their stuff very well. Smooth coordination for pick and drop. Great weather made for a smooth ride. They were super helpful for my parents to get in and out of the unit. They even celebrated afterwards with drinks and snack which was a nice touch. Their crew is a bunch of friendly and helpful folks. 5 stars for our host and pilot Santiago who was exceptional. Overall very good and totally worth it. Very highly recommended!

Great team and experience!

We had an amazing time on this experience! We accidentally overslept our alarm to meet the van for pickup, but they did not leave without us and they came to our hotel instead. We are so grateful for this capable and funny/kind team. We had never been in a hot air balloon before, but they made us feel safe and it was such an incredible time. Would definitely recommend to a friend
