The staff was very professional, and they went out of their way to make everything as pleasant as possible. I was impressed with all of them. We were given a nice long balloon ride, but not too long, and that alone made me feel as through I got a good value. Safety was the crew's biggest concern, they were always... More

Our family and friends celebrated a birthday with California Dreamin', and everyone loved it! All 12 of us were able to fit in one large basket, and it was so much fun. You do have to get up early - but get to watch the sun rise over the vineyards and mountains. The ride is over an hour long, then... More

We did a sunrise balloon ride for my birthday. They put a banner on the balloon if you let them know it's for an occasion. Our ride was with about 8 other people making 11 people total including us and the pilot of the balloon. He was a great guy, very knowledgeable with the history of the mountains and the... More

My husband and I booked the balloon trip but he couldn't make it at the last minute. I went by myself and had a wonderful time! The employees/owners are professional and very friendly. Several couples were celebrating anniversaries and some had birthdays. The balloon ride lasted an hour once we got off the ground. The pilot was interesting and informative,... More

Everything about the trip was totally awesome. We had a great team working the balloon as we watched and took pictures. The pilot (and owner) explained everything throughout our flight as well as great stories about the region and the vineyards. The breakfast following our return was excellent and capped off with mimosas. A superb family-based operation! More

What a great adventure! The pilot and crew were outstanding..experienced and friendly with a great sense of humor. It was my best friends 60th birthday and she wanted to do something she would always remember. They put a birthday banner on the balloon, sang "Happy Birthday" to her (twice) and had birthday cake and champagne waiting upon our return to... More

Well, our experience was a little different from the other people in our group. This trip was paid for by another member in our group so I can't really comment on price. We had a large group so we were split into two balloons; however, on the day of our trip, 3 balloons actually went up. Now, two of the... More
