My mother bought us a gift certificate for a hot air balloon ride with Fleur de Tucson as a Christmas present and what a wonderful idea it was. All we did was get in touch with them to pick the best day for our ride, provide the gift card number, and we were set to go! You have to show up early in the morning on your scheduled day so that you can enjoy the sunrise and the best hours of the day for the balloon ride. The staff and crew were so great and helpful, they really wanted to make sure that we had the best experience possible. That included picking us up, setting everything up for us, taking lots of pictures of us, and even a nice picnic with celebratory champagne when we landed on the other side. We would definitely recommend anyone interested in experiencing hot air balloons to do it with this crew!

Everything about this experience was wonderful! Becky and Mike and ALL of the support staff were great! Professional, fun, friendly and informative- the flight itself was exciting, safe and beautiful. The extra special touches such as photos, a completion of flight certificate and Becky's yummy homemade cinnamon muffins and champagne brunch only served to add to an already excellent experience.... what a fun thing to do as a Tucson resident or visitor to the area!
They bent over backwards to accommodate us as we had been unable to fly in 2 previous dates due to wind- and squeezed us in on a day they didn't normally fly in order to get us up in the air before the end of their season on April 1st! Above and beyond.!

Becky and the team provided us an amazing experience! I have always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon. This trip did not disappoint! We flew over the Tucson mountains on the Westside, spotting wildlife and enjoying the sunrise. Our pilot pointed out local landmarks and taught us a bit about ballooning. After our trip the team kindly recognized my birthday! They prepared a champagne toast and a little piece of cake. It was very special, you can tell this team loves what they do and want you to have an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!!!

This definitely exceeded our expectations. Mike is an excellent pilot and Becky an excellent hostess. The views are spectacular and Mikes knowledge of Tucson and ability to tell you about where you are, what you're seeing and the history behind it a huge plus. I really think he could pilot that balloon to go over landmark in the flight path that you'd want to see.

Becky and Mike made the organization of the flight a breeze, great to work with and everything punctually on time as defined.
They have been flying for 30 years and have found a fantastic property to start from with a glorious sunrise, lots of opportunities to see the desert and possibly wildlife and closeup of some of the amazing terrain north west of Tucson.
The flight was amazing, felt safe, with stunning scenery. Becky took some shots from the ground giving us a great memory to keep.
Thank you Becky and Mike!

Overall just an amazing experience, I would highly recommend doing it if you're in the Tucson area. The owners, Mike and Becky were wonderful to work with. This was more then just a show up and jump into a balloon for a ride. It was an immersive experience as we were able to take part in inflating, piloting and packing the balloon up after our journey. The scenery and views were beautiful. After the ride ended we headed over to a local park for complementary snacks and a champagne toast. We would definitely do this again!

Fleur de Tucson Balloon Rides are amazing. For the second year in a row we celebrated our anniversary by taking a balloon ride with Fleur de Tucson. Just WOW! We took off from their private launch site just east of Saguaro National Park at dawn and flew over the entire SNP traveling east to west. Absolutely stunning scenery from as low as the tops of the Saguaro and as high as 500+ feet depending on what we wanted to see. Becky was great to work with setting up the flight. She took pictures of the flight from the ground and provided a sim card with the photos afterwards. Mike (the pilot) is exceptional. During the flight he shared his knowledge of the area we were going over and piloted the balloon to perfection. We landed without so much as a bump in a very small window of space in front of a school. Never a problem for Mike! The ground crew was fabulous. Did I mention that safety was top priority. Everyone was so friendly ... we were treated like family. We are already planning next year's trip with them. You will not be sorry if you choose to fly with Fleur de Tucson. I would give them 10 stars if it was possible.

Mike & Becky are extraordinarily kind & gracious hosts.
Their attention to detail, particularly with regard to safety, was unparalleled.
The beauty & quiet of the early morning cannot be better experienced.

It was an amazing trip. We enjoyed the opportunity to even help setting the balloon up and taking it down. Mike is an excellent pilot and tour guide! They were even kind enough to fly over our house for some great photo ops! Becky handled all of the specifics and the photos she took of our trip were priceless. Thanks to Hal and Nathan for their expertise as well. This is our 3rd balloon ride and we really enjoyed the intimacy of the smaller basket! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Wow! Absolutely stunning views of the Tucson mountains and so incredibly peaceful gliding along in the wind. In addition to a fabulous flight, we learned a lot about what’s involved before and after take off. The entire experience was amazing !
Mike and crew were exceptional and Mike’s many years of ballooning experience eased any anxiety we might have had. We ended our morning with a delicious champagne brunch and even learned the history behind the tradition of enjoying champagne following a balloon ride. Thank you, Beckie, for the fruit and yummy home baked goodies!

My wife and I will be staying near in Vail, nearTucson from the 24th Jan for a few weeks. Would this be a good time for a balloon ride? How much would it be?

That's the ideal time for a ride. It's to hot in the summer to go, but very comfortable in the winter
