This crew is amazing! The communication was impeccable, we were given information and invited to participate in the process of getting the balloon up (which was amazing). We felt safe the entire time, and Bryant was so calm, kind and patient. Highly recommend!

In August I scheduled a hot air balloon ride with Freedom Balloon Tours of Watkins Glen, NY. This was my first ride, and being in my seventies, I was a little apprehensive of doing this. After meeting Bryant and his team, and the information given about the process, I was fine to go up. I’m so glad I did! What an incredible experience, from the balloon being blown up to the landing. I can say that it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Bryant and his team were extremely professional and proficient, and I would recommend this company to anyone wanting to go up. I hope that if you’re reading this, you will make up your mind to go with Freedom Balloon Tours!
