This was my first Balloon ride. The pilot was amazing and his control of the Balloon was pure perfection. We even skimmed the top of a wheat field! The views over the Loire Valley Chateaus was picture perfect beauty and I was amazed at the details we could see from that high up. What surprised me the most was the silence and serenity I felt. SOOOOO worth it!
Amazing experience

My friend and I did this hot air balloon tour as we were looking for something different to do. It is worth every penny it was beyond peaceful seeing the entire valley at sunset and the staff/crew was engaging knowledgeable and kept us safe. I guess it is the most important part. Highly recommend can't say enough good thing about this excursion.
