This was a great way to see the valley, keeping in mind that it's only the valley. You will not be in awe of what you are seeing. But rather enjoy the experience of flying in a hot air ballon and seeing the city from a birds eye view. The captain and I believe owner was great he helped me with my plan to propose to my girl with a banner I had made prior to the flight. Overall great experience, my now future wife and I felt safe and happy the whole time. Very professional, just remember Central/North Phoenix isn't the prettiest city. It's more about the experience
