This was the highlight of our trip to Scottsdale. It wasn't too hard to get up for the 4:30am meeting time as we were pretty excited. Information session was quick, informative and entertaining, as was the short drive to our take off point. Was great to see the hustle of the team setting up the balloon and the pilot's high expectations for how everything was to be set up. I loved that our flight started over the city then went over the desert (where we got really close!) before we left the desert hills and landed. We were in the air right around an hour. Our group thought it was entertaining to see one of the staff walking to cover a bush for the balloon to be laid over, we expected him to throw the cover over the bush but instead he walked right over the bush to deposit the cover!
The cocktail and breakfast was great as the team packed up the balloon and the option to buy photos and time lapse of the flight were cool but we were unable to add the cost as we wanted to make sure we had the money for a good tip for the team as they fully deserved it.
Highly recommend this tour!
