This was our first time in a hot air balloon. My husband was dreading it and in the end, enjoyed it very much, we both did. It was definitely an experience to remember. Our guide Patrick was humorous and down to earth. The whole experience was memorable and worthwhile. It was perfect, not too long, not too short. The champagne and toast at the end was a nice touch. I highly recommend rainbow Ryder's: the booking was simple, they called the day before to confirm, 50% deposit beforehand, final payment after the trip, and meeting place at their headquarters was close to where we were.
