We booked with Hot Air Expeditions to help celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Everything about this company was superb: reservation handlers, balloon crew, our van driver, the pilot--all were friendly, re-assuring, and passionate about their work. Our pilot, Mikey D, was professional, but easy-going. He is obviously very skilled in his craft, and we knew we were in good hands throughout the entire trip. The champagne breakfast was the perfect cap to this amazing experience. Thanks for a great time!

I booked a hot air balloon ride as a birthday gift for my husband. Everyone at Hot Air Expeditions was wonderful, from the ladies that took my reservation by phone to the flight crew and Captain Tommy. They were friendly and funny but at the same time professional. The wind takes you where it will and we floated over the hills north of Phoenix as Captain Tommy pointed out the surrounding landmarks. Champagne breakfast afterwards made it even more special for our birthday celebration.
