Fantastic trip! - This was a fantastic trip from start to finish! A true “must do” activity while in the Phoenix area. This is a well-run and professional company. I took the trip solo, and that was fine. I plan to do it again when I return to Phoenix.

Kyle was the best - Five stars isn’t enough!
My hot air balloon experience was absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and full of awe-inspiring views. A huge shoutout to our tour guide, Kyle, who made the whole journey even more amazing. He was professional, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor that made everyone feel at ease. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Watching the sunrise from the sky was magical—something I’ll never forget. If you’re considering booking a ride, don’t hesitate—this is a bucket-list experience done right. Highly recommend!
