Tour starts at 6AM ! be prepared. This was our first time riding in a balloon. I am also scared of heights. But anyway, we boarded the small bus to go to the launch site and saw the balloon grow bigger when the air was filling it. This was a big balloon, and we were 16 in the basket. But not cramped. The ride took almost one hour and we went to 600-800 feet. Surprisingly, I wasn't too scare to look down. Very enjoyable and an experience to have, at least once in your life. The pilot was very experienced and friendly. Overall a very good experience, and we really want to go back with the grand-kids.
