    Napa Valley Balloons is the best! Bob is an amazing pilot. Everyone felt safe and enjoyed his humor and experience being a balloon pilot. This is my first time and my birthday. I love it

    Amazing experience. My husband and I enjoyed the sunrise. Whole ride took about 1 hour.

    Had the best morning ever with Napa Valley Balloons! They were so organized and thought of EVERYTHING! It's an experience I will never forget.

    Shout Out to Shanon who is assigned in reservation is an excellent staff, she helped me made my team building activity went smoothly. The activity is very organized. They will pick you up at a certain location then drive you to the site. The Pilot assigned to us is not very friendly.. He is grumpy like an old man but hey, no one can ruin the day of seeing Napa and Bayarea. Above the Valley is about 60 minutes from the balloon set up to being up. I gave 5 star because Shannon is great and the activity is very organized. Pilot Chad need an early retirement, grumpy and have a lot of hate in his face.

    Just finished a great ride with Bob and Lydia. It was an amazing experience with the most gorgeous views. Very nice ride and felt safe. Bob has been a hot air balloon pilot for over 40 years so when we were up 4K feet there were no worries The length of the ride was well worth the cost. Easy pick up and delivery. We ended up landing in a "new" spot which turned out to be a nice man's backyard I highly recommend this company.

    My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience with Chris--our pilot--and the rest of the crew. The crew was polite and highly communicative. I felt elated during the experience. You don't get to choose your pilot, but if you happen to get Chris, you're in for a treat. It was peaceful, and the scenery spoke for itself.

    To be honest, going on a hot air balloon ride was never on my bucketlist. I've been scared of heights for as long as I can remember and I actually got peer pressured into going on this experience. But I'm glad that I did! After the wonderful concierge (Debra) at Fairmont Sonoma suggested trying this at least once, I couldn't not give this a try. She signed me and my friend up to experience it on a lovely Thursday morning. The day started at 6:15 am at Domaine Chandon. We were welcomed with a light breakfast with coffee, tea, and pastries while checking in. After checking in, the inflight crew provided us with some rules, regulations, and updates as to what to expect on the flight for the day. We were then brought to the balloon flight sights on a van with the other passengers. The rest of the crew were preparing the balloons for take-off. During that time, people were taking the opportunity to take plenty of pictures while the balloons were being filled up with air. The team did a great job at getting everybody into the hot air balloons. Trust me, there's no graceful way to get in. You literally would have to hop in (but you do get plenty of support). We had Bob as our Balloon Pilot. He was AMAZING! He personalized our experience even with 10+ other people in the balloon with us. He shared some informational history about the area, showcased some of his favorite views, told stories about his past flights, and just told plenty of fun jokes. The flight lasted about 45+ min. He did share with us that flights could of course vary depending on the weather and we were fortunate enough to have flown on such a nice day! After the flight, we ended the day with a Champagne Brunch back at Domaine Chandon. We had breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes, and the works as well as mimosas. We were able to talk to the other passengers about their experiences. It was a consensus that everyone had a great time. Thank you to the Napa Valley Balloons Inc for this wonderful experience. Mixed with the welcoming and friendly service they have provided, this is something definitely worth trying while in the area!

    Napa Valley Balloons is the best! We flew with them and it was a blast! Due to weather we had to drive an hour to Winters so we had a different flight experience. When we got to the golf course to meet they had pastries, coffee and orange juice. We sat had something to eat and then they drove us to the site. It was really cool watching them blow up the balloons. Our pilot was Bob and he was amazing. Felt so at ease with him. The experience itself was amazing. So peaceful and calm. You don't even feel like you're moving and it didn't even freak me out being so high up. I highly recommend doing this if you have the desire too. We did the package with biking and it was a good deal. Definitely saved money. After the ride we went back to the golf course has some champagne and there were more pastries. The employees at Napa Balloons were so helpful on helping us plan out or afternoon on the bikes. They offered to arrange stuff for us too. Top notch services for sure!! Can't recommend enough!

    I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride, so when the opportunity came, I took it, no questions asked. I did check various reviews and this had the best so we did it! It was the best bucket list moment I have ever had. They gave us soo much information prior to, explained so much about what to expect, when you are up there, the guide (we had Chad) told us how the wind works, where you could see SF on a clear day, the history of Napa, just soo much more than the scenery! It was such an incredible experience and the pictures on the Go Pro and the champagne toast and breakfast if you want to drop it off. AMAZING

    Family balloon ride!

    Our trip with Napa Valley Balloons was absolutely amazing from start to end. On arrival we were greeted with pastries from Bouchon bakery and fresh coffee. Thoroughly appreciated at this extremely early morning hour. We met their photographer who was wonderful and made sure we all got pics before the flight and just before takeoff. We took a lot of our own as well since this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us. My daughter and husband were my balloon basket partners and we all shared in the beauty of the Napa scenery. My daughter is afraid of heights but being in the air was so peaceful and calm it didn't faze her. Myself I have a fear fire after losing my house to it when I was young, but the flame was not close to where the passengers are in the basket and is separated away from the passengers. Upon our return we were greeted with a yummy glass of California bubbles which we enjoyed on the patio with our gracious host Cameron. Highly recommend @NapaValleyBalloons for making beautiful memories come true!

    A MUST WHEN IN NAPA!!! Things to know - 1. ask for Bob (he has over 9,000 hours experience and he's super nice) 2. Worth every penny and (early hour to rise) 3. You don't go fast at all 4. Pictures are amazing 5. Great breakfast included at the end

    We had SUCH an amazing time with Captain Bob! So entertaining! The whole crew - our pick up driver was on time and extremely friendly and funny, our Captain was hilarious, entertaining, and knowledgeable, the crew picking us up and taking the balloon back home - amazing!!! The morning was perfect, we had great views of the valley to the bay. Not only was the ride magical, this is when my fiancé proposed! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The proposal was a cherry on the top on an already AMAZING sundae! Thank you again Captain Bob for the laughs, stories, excitement, memories, and being apart of this special moment in my life! Oh and also landing us safely! :)

    Napa Valley view from the beauty of an elevated wicker basket guided by a couple hundred thousand BTUs of propane into a delightful glow of a collected balloon . Got to admit, was reluctant. Absolutely no reason. These guys know exactly what they are doing. NVB IS ALL CLASS!! Just an amazing, comfortable, and friendly experience all the way around. After flight is the chill at Domaine Chandon for mimosas (endless) and a brunch that was actually pretty impressive. Gotta give it to these people, they have a good thing going here. DID IT, WILL DO IT AGAIN NVB!!!

I'll start from he beginning cause there's alot to unfold in this review. We met up at the Napa Valley wine train at 5:30 am. Don't be late cause a few people were and we were waiting on them. They give you your itinerary and you sign a waiver , and the. You meet your pilot. They drove us in their vans to the take off point which was off the train track. See the video, it was amazing. I was worried that the wind might be to much fir the too lift off, but they said if they can't, they have alternative locations. Once we got I'm the air it was very smooth and very relaxing. There we about 20 people in our basket. Not alot of room, but keep in mind your not going to move around in the balloon basket . We rose up in the ir and went where the wind took us. After our pilot explained everything to us we were confident he knew what he was doing . He even took us inside a hillside where we were able to get close to some trees . Landing was pretty smooth. They picked up up with their vans and drive us back. And this is where it goes from 4 stars to 5. We purchase the champagne package which I highly recommend. We got to share a bottle of champagne with our pilot and he told us all about the first hot air ballon, which was way before airplanes , and explained to us where the name Pilot came from. Overall , it was a great end to a great experience and I highly recommend it .

We the weather being so unpredictable we had to wait. I was fine with wait because i do value my life. I had the chance to cross off a major item from my bucket list. A hot air balloon ride and wow, what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Floating high above the landscape, seeing everything from a completely new perspective, was truly magical. The sunrise was especially beautiful as we drifted along, and the silence up there, broken only by the loud occasional burst of the burner, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. That said, there were a few things to consider. The heat from the burner can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it. I didn't wear a hat, and I really wish I had and i am short 5'2 those blasts of hot air can get pretty intense when they hit you directly! So, if you're planning this trip, definitely bring something to cover your head. The landing was a bit of a wild ride, too. The ground was much harder and more uneven than I expected, and we didn't quite know where we'd land until we were almost on top of it. Also getting in and out can be extremely challenging. It's hard climbing into and out of the basket and it's very tightly packed. Not a lot of space to move. I knew the risks going in but the whole experience was so worth it. Even with those little surprises, it was absolutely incredible. Would I do it again? Definitely not! Despite the heat and the bumpy landing, the beauty of the experience makes it all worthwhile and a one timer for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable to add to your list of adventures. Just don't forget your hat!

    Mother's Day - A Birthday Extravaganza!…read more Two years ago I flew in the SNJ-4 Texan for a birthday thrill; this year my wonderful wife gave me an hour ride in Vintage Aircraft's P-51 Mustang! She's the best! If you love the sound of a WWII high performance engine, love speed and appreciate the 20 year old pilots who flew these magnificent machines during a war, the P-51 is a plane to experience. Drove to the Schellville airport on Mother's Day for my ride. Travis pulled the P-51 from it's hanger, went through it's extensive pre-flight check and fueled her up. At this point, my heart was pounding with excitement and anticipation of a ride in a P-51! I told Travis I was also taking another P-51 crew with us that day, he had a quizzed look. My mother's deceased husband was stationed in England during WWII and was assigned to a P-51 squadron as an armourer (loaded 50 cal ammo and fueled the planes for their next flight). Found a picture of Mick, the pilot, mechanic, crew chief all standing beside their assigned P-51, the GlenGaryGuy. Pilot had his wife's name "Jackie" on the other side. They all got to go for one more ride! Chris Prevost, the pilot, asked where I wanted to go? I'd done the Golden Gate Bridge, out over Marin County to Tomales Bay and back in the Texan. Chris had a suggestion - Schellville to Lake Berryessa and over into the San Joaquin Valley, up along the Vaca Range to Middletown, over to Santa Rosa, out to Bodega Bay, Tomales Bay and down to Mill Valley and Mt Tam with a ride down Miller Ave, out to the Golden Gate Bridge and back to Schellville - heck yeah, sign me up!! Travis gave me instructions on how to climb onto the plane and into the rear seat, tight but comfortable and buckled in. Thank goodness I had a hat. I'm 6'1" and just barely had head room (though I was too excited to care). Chris brought the Merlin V-1650 to life and we taxied down to the end of the runway, brought the oil temp up, closed the canopy and we rolled down the runway - full speed ahead. Pulled back and up we went - what a rush! Travis had taken my wife to a point where she could record the whole liftoff - yeah! My adrenaline rush was in high gear! I immediately thought of the young pilots who risked their lives for our freedom; here I was just on a joy ride in a plane they flew in actual combat or escorting bombers - kind of surreal. Great sidebar to the flight was being actually being able to see the devastation from all of the fires from Lake Berryessa all the way too Middletown - scorched earth. Bodega Bay to the mouth of Tomales Bay gives a real perspective how beautiful our coastal area is. Chris did a couple of sharp turns, the P-51 cut the sky like a sharp knife. I kept the headsets halfway on, wanted to "hear" the roar of the P-51's engine. Down to Mill Valley, lined up on Miller Ave and out we went to the Golden Gate Bridge. What a day! I guess I should end my story, though writing about flying in the Mustang brings back all the fun I enjoyed that day. Travis and my wife had been monitoring our flight and were ready for our landing. Again, Travis set my wife up in a location to capture the event. Thanks again to Vintage Aircraft, Chris, Travis and my wife for an epic day of flying in a P-51 Mustang.

Both greeted us with welcoming smiles and gave us a little insight on what it feels like to go on a helicopter (think of yourself as sitting on a washing machine was their analogy). Basically, we weren't blindly led to a helicopter for the first time and told to put on our seat belts. A very good explanation was provided to us and it really calmed me down because I realized I was slightly freaked out. Tim and Tom have a ridiculous amount of experience and they share a great sense of humor. The ride to Napa and back was beyond excellent - I got to experience the Bay Area in a never before seen way - from thousands of miles up in the sky! Everything was smooth except for one funny little episode where my husband asked if Tim and Tom wanted to "crash" at our place due to the fog rolling in...while we were in mid air! Haha...not.

I don't understand why they cannot confirm at the time of booking. You are picked up at a designated hotel (not your hotel) and then two additional stops at two other hotels to pickup additional passengers. Then the shuttle drives you to the airport. You watch a very outdated video on safety. Then 6 of you are jammed into a helicopter plus the pilot. If you are bigger you will be uncomfortable and if you are smaller you will be uncomfortable because of the bigger people. The pilot does a 15-20 minute tour that goes over the bay, golden gate bridge and Alcatraz and then you land in Sausalito where the shuttle meets you to take you back. I could not understand the pilot AT ALL. I had no idea what he was saying during the entire tour. In total it takes about 2 hours and is $215 per person. Is it worth it? Yes if you book with a different helicopter touring company. This was a bottom budget tour.

    What a fantastic trip. I took my dad for his 80th and it did…read morenot disappoint he loved it, he even got to sit in the front which made his day. All the staff are helpful and professional with a full running commentary whilst in the air. There is plenty of room the helicopter seats 6 and it is comfy and feels super safe. It's a tad expensive but worth every dollar.

    So grateful to be sharing this review!…read more If you've been considering booking a Hot Air Balloon experience... Do it!! My husband surprised me with this epic experience for our anniversary. And from start to finish is was dope! King mentioned the booking process & communication prior to arrival were seamless. We arrived at 5:25am to a secure parking lot. Check in was smooth and they distribute the large group info smaller ones based on weight. We were offered complementary snacks and coffee and although we declined it was a nice touch. Be sure to note that anything that does not fit inside your pocket is not permitted onboard the balloon. It was extremely foggy (early August) so we unfortunately had to be transported to another take off site due to weather about 50 mins away. They do make it very clear that there are different take off locations and the Sonoma one may not be an option if weather is not permitting. When we arrived they were inflating the balloons which was pretty cool to watch. Take off was smoother than I anticipated. The views from the sky were remarkable and being in the air has a level of freedom not atinable by another aircraft. Landing was ok, and we were all instructed to brace ourselves by bending knees & leaning back in basket. The custom Sonoma Ballooning champagne toast was the cherry on top. Huge shout-out to our pilot Balloonist Mateo for having great energy and keeping us informed.
