This is not what you see in movies. You get bunched in crappy vans for an 45min to get somewhere. You are herded into a basket that is separated for 2 people max per section but you will have 3 in there. The heat from the flame is torture. There is no real guide explaning much. You don't see the sunset as you land before that in a desert. The crew sets up a nice table with champagne. That was the best part. The gourmet meal is a biscuit and a truffle chocolate. Gets cold while you sit there waiting for them to pack up. Another 30 min to get back. Total, we were gone 3 - 8pm. Would not do it again.
