The passion and enthusiasm of ballooning of the Captain (Alisa) and crew (chief Zach) was contagious. The flight was flawless and landing superb. Alisa was a breath of fresh air as she answered questions and recounted history for the group. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would do it again tomorrow. Thank you!

It was amazing. Our balloon pilot,Matt H, was great. He was knowledgeable, a very professional pilot and made the trip so fun. We could not have asked for a better time - all the crew were great too and things went smoothly.

Matt is delightful and professional. Nice food/champagne toast Winds are tested before each flight and there may be cancellations. Basket was overcrowded I could not rotate my slender body in a circle. The basket landed on its side.we had to squat And hold our backs to a side. We hit and skidded 3-4 times. And finally landed! Then crawled out of the basket. Not what I expected at all. Thankfully no one was injured!
