5.00Book your adventure early in the week because we were canceled, because of wind,on the day we scheduled, but were able to squeeze it in on the next day. Our Pilot Tommy was amazing. Very professional and also fun. He took time to make sure we were comfortable & felt safe. This was an incredible ride…so peaceful and beautiful! The breakfast was delicious and they even accommodated me with a gluten-free muffin. The basket was a little tough to get in and out of, but I did it even with a bad knee and one knee replacement. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Amazing Experience!

5.00I was headed to a conference and booked this last minute on the flight into Phoenix. I’m so glad I was able to cross off a bucket list item during this short trip! The team at Hot Air Expeditions was so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Captain Don has so much experience and was so funny with his stories. I would highly recommend this company!

Misleading advertisement

1.00misleading, this is for large groups balloon ride not couples as it states in numerous spots throughout the Groupon and doesn't disclose at all what type you are purchasing on trip advisor. I called and asked how to book using the groupon and was informed it is not valid on the private options. and no discount on the private ones.
