Pilot and crew were competent, friendly, helpful and informative. It was a beautiful day over wine country. It was also a good group of people.

Super fun experience watching the crew prepare the balloons. Our Pilot Pete was very experienced and gave us a breathtaking ride across Temecula wine country! He would drop so low you'd think you could pluck up an orange and we waved to people in local inns. Then we'd soar high for better long range views. He amd his crew was so good he landed our basket right on their trailer!

The Great Escape was "great" from the beginning. Very informative, answered all of my questions quickly. Our pilot Pete and his team was fantastic. We had such an amazing day. Smooth ride and even got to enjoy a few extra minutes in the air then expected. The drone operators and photographers were on top of it and I can't wait to see the footage from it.

We had to wake up early on a Sunday for this adventure but it was well worth it. The crew and pilot Pete were kind and professional. We got to see how air balloons rides happen from start to finish - very interesting. Loved it! The views were spectacular! Thank you for a fantastic experience.

I was apprehensive as someone who it truly afraid of heights but there was nothing but joy during this experience. Do take a hat in case you are not under the shield as your head will get really hot!
