We had Captain Mike England as our pilot. He told us many facts as well as being very funny. The sunset ride was terrific. I was surprised that once you lift up that it is so smooth and quiet and the scenery from up is lovely. After landing we had a party in the dessert. Tables were set up with champagne, cider and snacks. One person was celebrating her birthday and so we also had a birthday cake. Jessie was our driver and chase crew. He too was very good. We loved it and would highly recommend this company for your hot air balloon experience. This was our first experience

Greetings Bev, Thank you for spending some time with Pilot Mike, Jesse and the crew. It truly is surprising how quiet and peaceful flying in a hot air balloon is. And, after a fabulous sunset flight, is there any other way to wrap it up than with champagne and appetizers, we think not. Thank your for taking the time to review us. We hope to see you up, up and away again soon. Cheers!

Our pilot and driver, Tommy and Alex were awesome. Very friendly, funny and professional. The experience as a whole was great but even better with Tommy, Alex and the whole crew. Would highly recommend them and this company.
