Summary: Brian was very knowledgeable. I felt very safe and it was surprisingly very relaxing and so enjoyable. I would easily ride again with him in a hot air balloon. I have never written a review but felt it was worth writing so people don't miss out on this opportunity! And we are planning to return with more family next time.
