No one seemed to be at work- felt like joining a group of friends for an early a.m. adventure. Can't think of ANYTHING that needs improving! FYI - a waitress at Auberge Du Soliel sent us. She's a big fan of yours... for good reason.

Dear Balloons Above the Valley,
I wanted to thank all of you for an unforgettable experience. I proposed to my fiance on our balloon flight and with your help and she couldn't have been more surprised and happy, as if the gift of the balloon ride was enough! Everyone on your staff was very courteous from the time I booked my flight on the phone to Brenda's bringing out the banner, Bob piloting and touring us above the valley, and the great Champagne Brunch. It was our first balloon ride, but definitely not the last. When ever we are in the area we will be sure to come back for a flight and have already recommended all our friends/family to do the same with you guys. Thank you!

Balloons Above the Valley,
I want to thank you for an awesome balloon adventure! I bought this ride as a Birthday gift for my wife, she has always wanted to ride in a Hot Air Balloon and to experience the sensation of flying in a balloon. I was thinking that this might be boring, we had an ultralight aircraft in the past. To my surprise this was totally amazing and fun! I was never bored at all and had a truly great time. Ferrel was great and funny too! The brunch was fulfilling and we are looking forward to flying with Balloons Above the Valley again and inviting friends to come with us. Thanks again!!
