The balloon flight was beautiful, and the views at sunrise were unforgettable. Everything felt very safe and the staff was kind and helpful. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that the pickup was slightly delayed, which made the start feel a bit rushed. Still, a great experience overall.
