Eight of us took this trip and loved it. He was a fantastic guide friendly and helpful. He took some great photos and even photoshopped a few for perfect views. Started early but totally worth it!”

It was a wonderful experience to watch the balloons take off and float in the sky. They took us to a location with many balloons launching, and once they were all in the sky, we were brought to another viewpoint. I must admit, the viewpoint could have been better based on some photos I’ve seen, but it’s decent for observing from below. This is a great activity for those who are afraid of balloons but still want to see them.

It was a great experience. The tour guide didn’t speak English, but he was friendly. After we had some snacks, we watched the balloons take off, and then we went to another location to take photos. We really enjoyed it.

A beautiful experience from start to finish. As soon as you arrive, they offer you a croissant and juice. After that, you step out of the van and witness the hot air balloons beginning to inflate. Then, you turn around to see over a hundred balloons gradually filling with gas and taking on stunning colors as they slowly start to rise. Afterward, they take you to a higher vantage point to see them from above, and the view you’re greeted with is truly one of the most beautiful you’ll ever experience.
