It was good But i felt uncomfortable when the driver called me T 4:20 am and told me that I have 5 min to meet him I was already ready to go but were waiting for a message from them to say they r on their way. I was also disappointed knowing we had to make two stops before reaching our destination and going back which was unfair for us. An hour and so were wasted to pick up others who were late

Right from the booking to the being picked up at the hotel to the drive to the take off area, not a fault. The Balloon Captain Mohamed was easy to communicate with, answered all of questions and gave us an experience to be remembered. It was a beautiful day and the sunrise above the clouds was just magical. Ivan the falcon accompanied us on our flight and he flew around the basket and landed randomly. The handler, I have forgotten his name, was equally as informative as the Balloon Captain. We were able to hold the falcon and stoke him. Given the opportunity I would do it again.
