5 star balloon ride.

The winds welcomed me with softness. The sun blessed me with its warm hands. We flew circa 6,600ft up in the air. it was absolutely breath taking. our captain was spectacular. don't get scared if the balloon brings you close to the water, it's all part of the process. if you want a relaxing cruise through the sky as if you were a gliding bird, I totally recommend this adventure. five star balloon ride!!!

First of all, nothing shows on the reservation that says we have to arrive earlier, yet we still arrived couple minutes earlier than the scheduled time. The address they provide is a shopping mall parking lot and there is no sign, we were exactly at the location they provided and even sent a photo to them to ask where I should go and all I got is they are leaving because I was late. They told me is Viator's fault I should contact them, and then told Viator is my fault so they won't do anything, no reschedule or refund. What a great company.

The guide being rude when we asked for a step to get in the van. He said can’t get in the van you can’t get in the balloon ride and you forfeit your $600.

The actual experience of being in a hot air balloon was thrilling. I would not trade that for the world. The pilot is the one that made the experience horrendous. He made the flight about a political rant. Then at the end when everything was over, demanded more money. The pilot threatened to beat me up and take my money. All over a fee that is hidden in the fine print. You have to pay per pound over 220 then demand gratuity on top of that.
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Actually never threatened to beat you up…All said was “I will get payment from you” Also the only political thing said was “I couldn’t live in a liberal city”. Followed by “I like to rodeo, and that’s not allowed in places like that” LOL sorry if that’s ranting in your eyes. Btw maybe tell them that there is a criminal theft charge filed with the Phoenix PD for leaving and refusing to pay…..
The flight was canceled Please refund my payment

Balloon ride amazing- pilot, not so much
Leanne_W
, Nov 2021
The experience of ballooning at sunrise was amazing! The pilot, unfortunately, was unprofessional & rude. He was demeaning to those customers who asked questions and bad mouthing his crew. Also unhelpful with loading & unloading passengers in and out of the transportation van and balloon basket.
Response from Host , Nov 2021
I am sorry you felt the pilot was rude. Sometimes jokes are loved by some and hated by others. As for the pilot not helping in and out of the balloon; isn’t he busy managing the aircraft? I certainly hope so… As well the pilots always drives the van and crew are sitting at passenger door to help load and unload to be gentlemen. Although we also expect if someone can’t load and unload from the van by themselves they most certainly could not get in and out of the balloon. This shows physical inability to be safe in rough landing condition ruled by Mother Nature. Although seems your pilot did a great job… as you still offered 5 stars…

Shane was an AMAZING pilot! Daniel and Rick were his helpers they were great also! Shane is a comedian also because he had us laughing a bunch but that was the most amazing balloon ride so smooth, very safe, and the landing was perfect! I would definitely recommend Shane with Aeroangelic balloons!
