It was cancelled by the balloon company and we did not go. Stop sending me messages! You gave me a refund!

Hi Pamela, the messages are likely coming from Viator/TripAdvisor, not from our company Rainbow Ryders. A one star review can be pretty damaging for small businesses such as ours. If you are receiving messages from our company, please give us a call at 505-823-1111 so we can address and fix the problem.

Our balloon ride was a great experience. The flight crew, Anthony, Jerry & Misa, were efficient with prepping for the ride and fun companions on the way to the launch site and back from landing. We felt safe and reassured with their collective experience, and they’re all clearly passionate about ballooning.

Our pilot and the team were friendly. They answered all of our questions. The ride was a great experience that I can cross off of my bucket list.
