5.00This has been on my bucket list for a very long time and I’m so glad I finally got to go on a hot air balloon ride with my husband over Phoenix, Arizona. It was an amazing experience. The pilot Jonathan was very entertaining. I felt safe the entire time. It was hard to believe that we got up to 6500 feet above land as the ride was very smooth and I would say even less turbulence than an airplane. The burner got very hot, so I can understand why we have to wear long sleeves. I chose not to wear a hat, but I think there would’ve been less heat on my head if I had done so. My husband would suggest wearing a hoodie to block the heat from your head. The breakfast was set up in a very special way, and the food was tasty, however, the burrito was a little spicy. The certificates are a nice touch and it was pretty cool that we got to buy the champagne glasses that we drank out of as a keepsake. This experience was not at all like I expected it to be, it was so much more! Time: arrived at 4:35 AM finished at 9 AM (one of the passengers in the van requested a restroom break prior to going out to the balloon site)

1.00The pilots cancelled the balloon ride as we were heading there. No feedback to give. Hope to try to book this event with another company or in another state.
Good experience

3.00Overall good experience, breath taking views. It just seemed as though we traveled more by car/van than the time spent in the air.
