Napa Valley Balloons, Inc., Napa

Wonderful first time air balloon experience. Thank you so much, Bob! Everyone got their on time and we left approximately around 5.30 at the launching zone. No purse, bag allowed but a jacket with pocket could hold couple good stuff and cellphone. Our balloon, Monarch, carries around 20 people. The flight was smooth and wonderful, the view was fantastic. I am scared of the height, but this doesn't triggered me at all. We flew a very long distance, to American Canyon from Yountville. Bob is not only fun, chatty, but also very experienced and give a lot of thoughtful touring knowledge. Our landing was outstanding, thanks to Emily, the trainee pilot. Champagne came after the flight and I meet couple cool people during the trip as well! Really can't ask for a better day and better trip!

Amazing experience with Bob and his crew! Early morning start is cold in the ground but once you get up in the air, the air warms up and it was a delightful ride. We got lucky and climbed to 5500ft and covered over 12 miles. Bob was a fantastic balloonist and managed an incredible landing. Note: your ears will pop alittle but definitely no motion sickness. Just make sure to layer up.
