We could not take the tour because of the weather
Review by: Reygenee R, September 2017
Great tour! Great tour guides! The weather and the view was beautiful. Definitely an experience to remember. The ride was extremely smooth, even for those who are a bit fearful of heights. You aren't as close to the Disney parks as some photos may portray, but you can still see them, and there is still a beautiful view. Wear good shoes since you'll be standing for an hour in the hot air balloon, and you'll be doing a little bit of clean up afterwards. Other than that, great experience.

Wonderful experience. I took my 6 year old kid who has fear of tight spaces, but he absolutely loved the ride. we took the ride on 29th June 2017, Our pilot was Mr. Russ who made it an excellent trip throughout, with his dead-pan humor and the seamless Russ landing. Post landing, they had a small commemoration champagne celebration which made the entire trip etched permanently into our memory.

We loved this, the balloon experience was once in a lifetime. We went in February, and it was 40 degrees and a little chilly for some people. We're from Alaska, and it was fine to me So you might want to check the weather and dress accordingly. Afterward there is a champagne toast and orange juice if your not inclined, or if you like mimosas.

We had a blast. We were celebrating my wife's 40th birthday with our kids. It was a bucket list item we had talked about for years. The staff was great, very helpful, and we felt safe the whole time.

We had a marvelous time. Had an entertaining guide. We had a soft landing, but the balloon next to ours had a rough one. Beautiful views, quiet.

Review by: michael m, July 2016
Ballon ride was great , given that you are dependant on the weather and that florida is so flat and a lot of it swamp there is limited ability to see interesting things on the ground. the crew were very efficient and helpful there is no doubt it is worth doing if you are ever in the area.

Absolutely enjoyed the Orlando Sunrise Hot-Air Balloon Ride. It was amazing and so serene. One should definitely do this while in Orlando. I opted for the transport option and the transport was on time. Professional!

Unfortunately my hotair balloon ride was cancelled twice because of bad weather but the 5 stars is for the company because they were brilliant in helping to rebook. They were polite and helpful on the phone and explained what to do when we returned home to get refund!

fantastic experience from start to finish, loved every minute of it
Review by: Ian M, October 2015
Absolutely brilliant. This was our first balloon flight and it was a fabulous introduction. The flight was somewhere between one and a half and two hours long. Pilot took us high and low so we got many different perspectives._br/_ One word of advice, put bug spray on because when they are getting the balloon ready there are plenty of mosquitoes about. Once you are off the ground they are not an issue._br/_ Had to call from the hotel prior to the day to confirm and the lady I spoke to was very pleasant and helpful. A quick and easy phone call. Were collected from, and returned to, our hotel with no problems. The staff at the office and the pilots were all really friendly.

Very nice experience! The pilot Pat and his cronies were outstanding. We saw a gator, some hogs and lots of egrets. It was a gorgeous day flying over Reunion and Champions Gate. Bring sleeves as it can be chilly and always wear closed toe shoes. Great time with Orlando Balloon Rides!

Review by: Oliver S, August 2015
A fantastic experience. The team where just amazing. The whole package including the pickup and drop off made the morning run smoothly. We had no wind on our flight day 0 MPH but our skilled pilot still managed to take us on a small journey over a lake and around a farm and I feel of the 3 balloons in the air we travelled the furthest!! We even managed to see a hidden mickey! Would honestly recommend this to anyone, it was a really great way to celebrate my girlfriend's 21st!
Review by: Wendi S, June 2015
The ride itself was enjoyable but a few things ruined the experience for us. For the price paid and high rating, this experience fell short. First, we showed up early only to wait a long time at the launch site. I thought everything would have been set up and ready to go, but instead we had to wait for everything to be set up and some customers had to help. Good thing there was an outhouse because the first attempt to get the balloon set up failed and the workers had to start over. Next, during the ride, those people who were not under the heat shield got their hair fried. The two ladies in my pod got their hair next to singed. We were not warned to wear a hat. Our operator was good and experienced, but told lame jokes which passed the time but they were so bad and he told so many that it got to the point of unprofessional. When we landed, it was in a field by needles and brush! I ended up getting a rash. After landing, everyone had to help with tear down and loading the balloon before we could leave. We were all sweaty and it was not enjoyable in the least. This is not something customers should have to do for the price paid. If they are expected to do this, better expectation management what to wear and what customers will have to do and briefing them of such before the ride would have been a good idea instead of burying it in paperwork somewhere for liability reasons.

It was a great experience.Very fun! The staff was knowledgable.
Review by: David H, February 2015
A truly breath taking experience - enhanced by the attention to detail , from pick up at the hotel to my return. Our pilot was witty,entertaining and informative but made you feel totally safe, Great fun being involved in the inflation of the balloon and for me the high spot was the group signing Happy Birthday during the champagne after the flight. Really recommend an air balloon ride and these guys are the one's to giveit go with happy smooth landings - ours certainly was.

Review by: Ruth L, September 2014
I always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride, what better than a sunrise balloon ride over Orlando. It was an early start but well worth it. We saw beautiful scenery, got to witness what trees look like from the other side, beautiful lakes, so peaceful. We had a fantastic witty Irish pilot. A must!!
Review by: Jullius, August 2014
It was a nice trip. team members were courteous and professional. was quite an experience. I add the hotel pickup and recommend contact the operator before the flight to coordinate pickup time.

Myself and my boyfriend did the hot air balloon ride last wednesday. it was amazing. Damien, our instructor was very funny. he kept us entertained throughout the flight. He brought us through the clouds which was amazing. He told us all the history of the area. The landing was brilliant. hardly knew we were landing it was so calm. we were delighted with the champagne and breakfast afterwards and were collected and dropped back to the hotel, an added bonus at that hour of the morning. The cert and photos are fantastic too. will be back :)

The greatest experience we had in Orlando! Great ride, personnel and food.
Review by: Claire M, March 2014
Our balloon trip was a really magical experience. Having to get up at 4.15am was not fun, however everything from the time we met our group leaders and the rest of the group was fabulous. The team were really well organised and I felt very comfortable and calm that we were in the safest of hands. The balloon ride itself was fantastic- spectacular views and amusing commentary to boot! After a (slightly) bumpy landing my husband and I loved being part of the team by packing away the equipment. It was lots of fun and gave us a way of working up a thirst for our glass of chamapagne!! All in all a fabulous experience. Do it!!!
