4.00The actual experience was a 10 out of 10. The staff was very accommodating. The views were amazing however there was a mix up between Viator and the vendor. We were turned away because Viator submitted our names after the vendor closed so we were not on the manifest. We were extremely disappointed as we had changed our flight to take the hot air balloon ride. We left very upset to say the least. We received a call from the vendor that they had space if we could make it back in time. We exceeded the speed limit to make it back before the vans took off. I highly recommend Viator contact the vendor prior to and after reservations are made.

5.00I feel that the experience is very beautiful but they should have a person who speaks in Spanish for tourists who come and do not know English is an added value, and so they can know the history of where they are flying.
