I really have to say that the reviewer just before me captured it all. We helped a bit with set up and take down. Everything was done safely. We had a nice toast at the end. And they give you the cutest little souvenir pin. I felt confident with Rainbow Ryders and would recommend them. More

On May 13, 2012, my 75th bairthday, I had a wounderful experience of taking a hot air balloon ride over Albuquerque, NM with Rainbow Ryders. It was all I could ask for. Our pilot, Randy Rogers gave us a little history on Hot Air Balloons then let us know what to expect and all the safety things we needed to... More

For our first stay in Albuquerque, we knew we wanted to experience a hot-air balloon ride. We selected Rainbow Ryders from the Internet and were delighted with the result. The crew was very professional. Mike, our pilot, did a great job of flying while pointing out areas of interest. The most amazing thing about ballooning is how quiet it is... More

Booked the day before our flight, they had space for us luckily and more luck gave us fabulous weather conditions. Our Pilot, Mike Collins was great and gave us a really great experience and was very knowledgeable about the area. We touched the trees and we touched the river! Amazing! I highly recommend you doing this with these guys. Thank... More

They offered to take pictures of my sister and me with our own camera once we were all loaded into the basket. The basket was over 4 feet high, so I... More

This is the second time I've been for a Balloon Ride with Rainbow Ryders. 1st time was in April, 2004, 2nd time May 2012. Both rides were all around great time. The 5/12 Ride was cheaper thanks to Groupon...couldn't beat it for the price. The Pilot was great anf very knowledable about all questions asked while floating. The group crew... More

Went very smoothly and was enjoyable. We helped put balloon up. Nice snack at the end. More

I'd like to know why it costs around 150 - 175 dollars to get a normal ride with just a few people and then they offer a "special" price of 395 dollars (more than double) at balloon fiesta, where your crammed in with about 12 - 14 people. That doesn't sound very special. From their website: "We will be offering... More
