Once in a lifetime experience - Thank you! Rainbow Ryders made my experiencefrom beginning to the end one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. Our pilot Jon T couldn't of been any perfect. I was extremely nervous. Jon explained everything to the T and would answer any little question anyone had, no matter how silly. He continued our fight with fun "Dad jokes". Jon gave us so information about airballoons and the area we were flying over. Our team on the ground was just as amazing. They got us up in the air safely and made sure we had a smooth landing. The airballoon ride was smoother then landing on an airplane. I couldn't believe how smooth it was. Such an amazing experience I'm glad it did it with an even more amazing company.

Treat yourself to something nice! - Simply put this was amazing. We've never had the opportunity to do this before BUT will definitely do it again. The ride itself was so quiet and calm. Our pilot was more than willing to explain and answer balloon questions as well as points of interest in the distance. Such a nice way to spend a late afternoon/early evening! Just do this. You will not regret it!
