Communication was great...

5.00Communication was great from the moment the experience was booked. Our driver Sawyer was very personable and informational. Our pilot Jonathan was amazing, very funny, knowledgeable and really just made the experience 100 times better. The hot air balloon ride is very peaceful, much more calm and breathe taking than anticipated. Once landing we received an actual full size breakfast, champagne toast, option to make it a mimosa and have another glass. I highly encourage anyone to book this amazing experience! Me and my fiancée had a wonderful time
They are very organized...

5.00They are very organized and everything is straight forward. Had a great time in the air and had a great landing. However do be prepared for the INTENSE heat while going up in the air. It will burn so bring a hat or covering for your head. They do have hats to give out also.
Must do experience!!!
