I have been to many hot air balloon festivals and watched them take off and land, always wishing I was riding in one. This was my first time riding in a hot air balloon and from start to finish it was a Perfect Experience. I booked online, followed the instructions to call the evening before, arrived the morning of, and before I knew it, I was riding in a hot air balloon! It was so calm, quiet, and peaceful. Even the landing was so smooth. I recommend this for anyone wanting to check this off of their bucket list!!!
