5.00Absolutely incredible experience with Liberty Balloon Flights From start to finish, everything was seamless and professional. Our driver Brad was friendly, punctual, and made the early start feel easy and relaxed. He kept the mood upbeat and explained what to expect, which was really appreciated. Our pilot Pete was outstanding — calm, confident, and clearly very experienced. He explained the process clearly, pointed out landmarks during the flight, and made the whole experience feel safe while still being exciting and memorable. The views were breathtaking and the flight itself was smooth and peaceful — easily one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend Liberty Hot Air Balloons, and if you get Brad and Pete, you’re in excellent hands. Would do it again in a heartbeat. 🎈
