Morning Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Phoenix

While we enjoyed the experience of the hot air balloon ride, there were no considerations in regards to social distancing. Ten people were put in a fourteen passenger van and there were too many people in the balloon basket to keep family groups together and separated from other groups . No room at the tables for social distancing while we ate breakfast. Two of the four member crew were new and did not know what they were doing which delayed set up and breakdown of the equipment.

Jonathan and Jim made the trip memorable! Both were amazing as well as the rest of the crew. Will definitely be back with friends and other family members.

The staff were so professional, accomodating and very jovial. The balloon pilot gave insight and knowledge as to the surrounding area, and answered guests' questions. The entire flight was so seamless and comfortable. The views were breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour agency for their professionalism in ensuring that each guest enjoyed a once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience.

Had a wonderful time. I believe we had the best flight crew and pilot. Chris was very knowledgeable about everything. Our Pilot Mike was full of information and comedy. Scott didn’t say much but he and Chris worked there butts off. There work is unthanked and unseen. So Thank you!

Beautiful weather. Well organized. Because the wind shifted we did not see the tables set up as coming down. For someone afraid of heights, I would do again. Captain Don was great

Chris and Marcus were great and very helpful. I would definitely return. The views were amazing. Fun!

Wonderful experience. 90 minutes in the air. Mike great pilot. Interesting to see the inflation . Great breakfast afterwards quiche, croissant and apples. Champaign. Chris and Markus crew entertaining. Great scenery

From meeting the Shuttle driver in the morning to boarding the balloon it was a super fun experience. The crew was great. The pilot was engaging. The scenery was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this.

Pilot did a fantastic job communicating and explaining. Was a very easy and gentle ride. All my fears went away. Thank you!

From the moment we met at meeting place at 4:45 a.m. till ride was over, the entire team was great !! Chris and Tom were so professional and personable at the same time! They first checked our temperatures before we could begin the flight, so as to make sure we or other passengers were not sick. We all were given the coolest mask decorated with hot air balloons ! We were transported to our departure station. We were given instructions before we lifted, as to how to prepare for our landing ! I, being somewhat apprehensive about heights, was a little skeptical as to whether I would be able to do it! As we begin to lift off, all the fears disappeared! The beauty was breathtaking and so serene to be at 4800 ft. In the air overlooking the valley and capturing many sunrise photos along with the other balloons flying in and around us. The morning was perfect temperature! The Captain, Chris was so informative and comical also ! Before we knew it, we were landing in an open area almost spot on from the great networking amongst Tom on the ground and Chris the pilot! Upon landing, which by the way was very smooth, a little jerk a skip, another few feet and then coming to a stop! We all followed the 4 instructions that were given to us in the beginning. We were given flying certificates and mimosas after we were told the history of how and when hot air balloons began. We toasted to a beautiful prayer for balloonists! We then loaded and were taken back to meeting site. It was everything and plus more than I expected it to be! I can now cross this off of my bucket list !
