This flight was fun though there were some things that could be better. The pilot, Robert England was a very good pilot though quite curmudgeonly. We were the last balloon up and the first down. The flight was about 30 (no wind - no one's fault) minutes with another 20 on the ground waiting for the chaser vans. It was definitely not enough air time. The other balloons were up much longer. Everything else was as expected and enjoyable. One suggestion is hot drinks in the winter instead of Martinellis. It was chilly! Enjoyed the hor d'oeuvres and the company!

We went out for our first balloon ride and they did not disappoint. Jonathan was an excellent pilot and added a real zeal to the experience. He was so informative and has a passion for ballooning and making our flight a truly enjoyable adventure. Marcus and his ground crew where top notch from check in to drop off they where the best. If you can get this trio to handle your flight you will not be disappointed.
