This was the highlight of my trip to Phoenix and Tempe! This company knows what they are doing. Bill was the pilot and Jim was the main crew member- they have an amazing sense of humor and are very hospitable to all guests. I did the sunrise tour- they took pictures of us, were very knowledgeable of the area- the kinds of plants and animals that we saw- and all things hot air balloons. The ride was very smooth- I would highly recommend to anyone who is hesitant to doing this kind of activity. It was a bucket list item for me!

Wow! This was a fantastic experience. Very professional and well-run outfit from the booking to the ride home. Our pilot, Mike, was great. It was the first time in a hot air balloon for all three of us and what a cherished memory to share. The scenery was beautiful, breakfast was delicious and we all bought a souvenir champagne glass. Thank you Hot Air Expeditions for an amazing and memorable bucket-list experience! If you're thinking of going... Do it!
