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.
Wonderful Experience!

Good news bad news this was a bucket list item accomplished, but now I want to go again! I’m hooked. It was an awesome experience and they were so accommodating moving up my date to avoid bad weather. Our balloon pilot was excellent, he knew his stuff and I felt very safe. The French country side lived up to all expectations. I’ve wanted to do this so much ever since seeing the balloon ride video at the Epcot French exhibit and it exceeded my expectations. Thank you
