Great historical tour
Misty, the tour guide, was wonderful. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and clearly loved her job and Albuquerque history. She crammed in all kinds of historical dates and facts, as well as a lot of funny and interesting anecdotes. Highly recommend this tour!

Definitely A Must Do
The staff was amazing from start to finish. I forgot the lady's name who picked us up but she was great. Justin was our pilot and he was fun and interactive! Our flight ended up being longer than expected due to not finding a landing area, but that was a plus!

Our First Balloon Ride was a Blast!
This was our first ever balloon ride and was great fun. Sailing over Albuquerque was thrilling. Pilot Dan has a great personality and really knows his stuff. His mom Theresa was a lot of fun too. We also enjoyed the champagne and juice after landing. I would recommend this for anyone.

Different perspective of Old Town
Enjoyed the tour! Mary & Sheridan were very engaging and enthusiastic about the ghost stories and "dead" jokes. The ghost stories were a great way to learn history of the area, including the negotiations of affection locales. Lots of walking, lasts about 2 hours.

Like floating in the clouds!
My daughter & I did this ride together. Truly amazing experience! Our pilot, Troy, a fourth generation balloonist, was extremely knowledgeable & shared a wealth of interesting info about ballooning. Views were incredible & flight unbelievably peaceful. Felt like floating. And the landing was so soft I barely realized we were on the ground! Don’t think twice, do it!!!

Ten Miles of Albuquerque
Heidi is a fantastic tour guide. She was very entertaining and enthusiastic! I really enjoyed seeing all of the places we visited. Even though the Rio Grande was dried up at the moment, I still got to ride along the “river.” I would recommend this tour to other people because it was worth the time and money.

A Rio Grande adventure!
It was amazing! From beginning to end, it was a learning experience, watching how the balloons filled with air and then fire gently lift it off ground. A smooth experience, peaceful following the Rio Grande over farm land and Hills. Our man Lewis met us and entertained us on our way to the lift off spot. He was a great host.
