Customer Star Ratings
I’d like to express my gratitude to Global Ballooning for such a pleasant and stress free experience. I was doing this adventure on my own, as it was a gift from my fiancé, and found the communication and easy-to-read instructions…
It was unforgettable experience with the two greatest pilots – Pato and Lilli who helped me to unfold the romantic proposal without hiccups! The balloon was fantastic both visually and the smooth ride we had was fantastic.
Highly recommend this experience. Both Steve and Mark were experienced, knowledgeable, funny and informative. Being able to fly over the city is a unique experience you won’t get anywhere else, due to air space rules.
