Jeff and his crew run a genuinely passionate operation that stands out from typical Vegas tourism. The French pilot brings championship-level experience and a fascinating ballooning history he loves sharing, along with plenty of dad jokes to keep everyone laughing. Reviewers consistently praise how the team makes nervous flyers feel completely at ease, and Jeff's technical skill shows in the smooth flights and impressive landings. The champagne toast in the desert after landing adds a special touch that people remember. The whole experience flows smoothly from hotel pickup through the flight to drop-off. Crew members like Chandler and JJ get frequent shoutouts for being friendly, helpful, and genuinely engaged throughout. Flight times can run shorter than expected when winds pick up, typically around 50 minutes rather than a full hour, but guests still find it worthwhile. One local resident expressed concerns about early morning noise and flight paths, though this appears to be an isolated issue among hundreds of satisfied travelers. First-time balloon riders especially appreciate how the team's expertise and warm personalities turn any nervousness into excitement.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. Little did I know this would be the experience of a lifetime for both of us. The whole crew was AMAZING and a pleasure to be around!! Jeff was our pilot and his knowledge and experience made everyone feel so confident and comfortable. Because of his expertise, we had a ride (and landing!) that was unparalleled. This is a “do not miss” experience!!
