This adventure was my gift to my hubby for his 50th birthday back in April. In May he called to…read moreschedule because fall is super busy for them! We are beyond blessed that all these months later the day of our balloon ride was the most perfect weather!! The colors had only just begun to change in the trees but the views were completely breathtaking regardless! I've seen the mountains from many different vantage points and NONE have ever come close to the views from the balloon!! Our pilot, Jim, was the nicest guy and made us feel at ease and helped us enjoy the experience to the fullest! He is fantastic at his job! Heck! The entire crew was amazing! So efficient and helpful! (Warning: James can hear EVERYTHING! lol) I had been quite nervous before our flight but that feeling left quickly as I was overwhelmed by the awe inspiring views thy surrounded us. As a bonus, Jim and the ground crew landed us perfectly with hardly a bump! I was shocked it was so easy! 1000% recommend y'all take flight and take it all in!

Truly the best experience. It's a long setup and wait process very early in the morning, but it is…read moreabsolutely worth it. Very professional staff that is attentive and makes you feel like family. The flight is a very peaceful experience overlooking The Valley in the Smokey's. We got some beautiful views. Can not recommend this experience enough.

I had a different experience then a lot of the Yelpers on here did and yes, I did have a Groupon as…read morewell. I emailed at the beginning of February and never heard back. Which is kind of a pet peeve of mine, I think all businesses should be on top of their email. I called at the end of February and the first available weekend fly date was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Based on some of the experiences here I didn't think a two month lead time was not bad at all. We arrived for our flight bright and early at the Rejuvenation Cafe at 6am. The cafe was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. I did feel like it was a bit too much of waiting around once you got there, I'm not sure if they build in so much time for late comers or what the strategy is there. The employees were all friendly and seemed excited to fly that day. They blow up a few helium balloons and let them go to see the path the balloon you are in will take. Crazy right? A helium balloon basically shows what your path will be, makes sense but just a weird thing to think about. We were given a brief safety briefing and had a chance to ask questions if people had any. Then it was time to blow up the balloons, it was really neat to see! Then we were in the basket and we were off. It was a cool experience but not something I would want to do again. The fiance was the one who wanted to do it in the first place. I had a good experience with this company and would recommend them to others.

Times have changed? I was reading through these yelp reviews and our experience could not have been…read moreany more different. From our first interaction with Phyllis to riding with Rick- super pleasant! We had a beautiful private ride which started at meeting other riders at a Starbucks, then we were all shuttled to our take off spot. Once there we watched as the crews got the balloons ready. Then we were off. Being first time patrons we were skeptical and a bit nervous but the ascend and descend couldn't have been more smooth. Two thumbs up to the entire crew! Would highly recommend this company. And yes, believe it or not it's worth the price!

I just got back to the ground from our Awesome experience. Our pilot Addison was amazingly…read moreknowledgable and communicative during and after the flight. This adventure was a blast!!! I would highly recommend R O franks hot air balloon company!!! They ensure safety as a priority. There was adequate ( and very handsome) ground crew and take off and landing was smooth and well orchestrated. Then Champagne afterwards! I am sorry for the other reviewers bad experience but it was just not true in this flight on June 22 2012. Very happy with this adventure and crew!!! They are FAA certified and the balloons were beautiful and well made. A great experience!!!!!!

If I didn't know someone else who had actually gone up in the balloon, I wouldn't think it actually…read moreexisted. For more than 2 years, I have scheduled, attempted and rescheduled my flights from my Groupon purchase Feb 2011. At least twice, we met the van and were cancelled. At least two- three other times, they cancelled the day before. Every time we immediately rescheduled the first available dates. Because everyone had to reschedule they were always very booked. Now we receive an email from R.O. Franks that they will no longer be honoring the Groupon purchases and have even cancelled the flight we had scheduled. Do not purchase a flight if you are visiting! You may or may not ever fly. You will not receive a refund. You may be able to reschedule but of course then you have to make another trip. I live only 45 min away and its difficult and frustrating every time you go and then told... Not today. Your day is pretty much wasted. Especially when you meet at the garage, they drive you 20 min out of town, sit at a gas station waiting for a green light for where to meet.... Then decide 2 hours later that there will be no flight. I understand and appreciate safety but I also understand good business sense. I know they cannot control the weather, but there are things they can control. As I previously stated, unless I knew better, this has all the makings of a scam. Now I have to (as they advised in their cancellation email) file for a refund with Groupon or dispute charges from 2 years ago with my bank. How much time and energy will this cost me? or do I right this off as an expensive lesson... Does this mean I still owe my wife a Valentine's gift from two years ago? Asheville is great, but go for a hike or catch something at the Diana Wortham Theatre instead.
