I LOVED everything about my hot air balloon ride. I'll admit, I was really nervous at first, not just because of heights, but because of the logistics. I am from Indiana so I only had one shot at the this, I didn't know the area well, I knew nothing about the company. I just bought it online and hoped for the best. And the best is what I got!
My pilot, Randy, was engaging, professional, and very good at explaining what was happening, coming, and what sites we were seeing! Afterwards we had a breakfast in the desert and Randy explained some traditions and history of hot air ballooning.
The ride was smooth and beautiful! I was literally the only single person in my basket (13 people total) so just be prepared, but everyone I rode with were friendly. I wouldn't let that stop me for a second. This is an incredible experience. I can't say it enough-if you have ever even considered taking an air balloon ride- do it with Arizona Balloon Safaris!
