| - I was in Phoenix for a few days and wanted to explore. My friend had Hot Air Balloon ride on her bucket list, and found this place at the top of the Trip Advisor ratings for Attractions in Phoenix, so I said, "What the heck? Let's do it!" I'm so glad that we chose 2 Fly Us instead of any of the other hot air balloon companies in the area.
The folks who run this company are the best. They are friendly, funny, gracious and helpful. We were a few minutes late. No problem. My friend asked the ground crew to take photos of us as we were going up and landing. Done and done. My friend's phone battery was dying while we were mid-air, so they charged it for her. Talk about service! They make sure that this experience is the best. They clearly love what they do, and they make your trip worthwhile.
The basket for their balloon is small, so everyone gets a window seat. You don't have to elbow past someone to try to see what's going on. The other companies take 14-20 passengers. This company takes 4 per flight. That's all. It's GREAT.
They also get you up really high, show you all the mountains you can see, and then they bring you as close to the hills as you can get without landing. You get to see giant cacti that are hundreds of years old from the sky. You get close enough to wave and call out to people on hikes or out walking their dogs. It's really friggin cool.
We took the sunset flight, which means you land before sunset and get to drink sparkling wine and eat chocolate while you watch the sunset from the ground after you've landed.
If you're going to take a hot air balloon ride, this is the company you want to fly with.
