Beautiful views and great crew! You will be asked to help put the basket on the truck, deflate the balloon and load into the carrier. Those with physical constraints will find this challenging. I have a pulled back and there seniors in our group that found this very challenging. This should have been mentioned as a requirement. In other balloon rides I have done they had a crew do this as part of the cost.

Tom, our hot air balloon pilot, was both professional and informative. With a good sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves floating over the Loire River and Valley! Thank you.

THE MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! I cannot emphasize enough how amazing this trip was, it was the highlight of our week. Balloon Revolution did a fantastic job preparing for our flight. Our original trip was rescheduled due to weather and they were helpful and accommodating around our schedule. Kevin did a fantastic job keeping in close contact with us regarding changes and pickup/drop off itinerary. Tom did an amazing job videoing the flight from the drone, and the pictures/videos were a very reasonable and absolutely worth the price. You MUST book this trip! My only negative feedback was that we had to aid in the landing/teardown process while on the sandy beach of the Loire river, which was not anticipated. We assisted in deflating and folding the balloon - not a problem but more of a heads up to future travelers to wear appropriate pants and footwear for off-roading.
