5.00Great outing seeing the view from above, lots of fun as a local spotting landmarks and waving to early morning joggers and dog walkers. The crew was very experienced and fun to talk to and we even got to take group photos inside the balloon. Highly recommend

5.00I was worried about a lot of things until I got there. It was the best experience I had with a trusted pilot. I can't believe we can see the skyline right above the skyscraper.
