Summary:
This being the first time in a balloon, we were initially a little nervous. However, the kindness, confidence and competence of the whole crew put us at ease rapidly. All I can say that it was a smooth, magical, sunrise ride. It is so quiet in the air, with only our soft conversation and the burner. The landing was so smooth. It was also quite an experience to see the balloon being packed up. Highly recommended, the whole experience.

Know more about Nob Hill
