The experience was great. A 5. Beautiful day. Don’t chaya thing. Value for money good and I was particularly impressed with the gift of photos at the end of our breakfast.

Annette Butcher –
We both thoroughly enjoyed our ballooning experience. The people organised for the flight on the day were polite, explanatory, and enjoyable to be around. The breakfast was ok, in preference to a standard meal each I would have preferred a ‘ lighter’ breakfast choice of toast or cereal, but understandable it’s easier to offer only one. However the scones were brilliant!
A nice ‘touch’ to the day was the lovely surprise of the photos given to us at no extra cost. Bonus!
