Hot Air Balloon Spectacular

The hot air balloon ride was phenomenal! This was all of our first times to ride a hot air balloon and it was awesome! Jonathan ajd Gary were the best! Jonathan is a fantastic pilot plus made the experience so much fun! The views spectacular and the landing smooth! Having the champagne and pastry celebration at the end was a perfect way to end our experience! I would do this again in a minute! I highly recommend this trip and I would definitely ask for Jonathan and Gary ! They were the best!!! Thankyou for ending our vacation to the fullest!

A bucket list ride

What a beautiful ride near the mountains of Tucson! Alisa did an excellent job of piloting the balloon—making us feel safe while giving us a ride near the mountains during sunrise. We have wanted to ride in a hot air balloon for years. This was an excellent way to experience the beauty of Tucson.
