I never gave the experience a thought until I was in the wicker basket with my husband and only daughter, then I realised what I had done!!! But the crew are amazing and they are pilots so they really know what they are doing. The noise from the gas coming on and off was probably the most stressful part. The history about hotair ballooning reassuring and champagne at the end settling. It was peaceful and tranquil. An opportunity not to be missed. No reqrets. Excellent value for the price when you think about the costs involved. Amazing service.
