Even Better

And 12 years later, our second flight with World Balloon was even better than the first! Murray and his crew were fabulous as was our pilot Tammie! I can highly recommend them for your next visit to the Albuquerque area for your once in a lifetime experience!

Fantastic

Fantastic! We took a sunrise balloon tour with Tamie and had an incredible time. We were in a four-person basket. The whole company is delightful and the experience was easy and smooth. I generally have a fear of heights, but had no problem with the balloon ride. Highly recommend.

Incredible Experience

This was an incredible experience! The ground crew was professional and fun and Tammy was a terrific pilot! We learned a lot about the history of ballooning and why New Mexico is such a great place for it. We can't wait for our next flight!

Highly Recommend

The entire experience was great! I called to book with Leslie who was wonderful. The entire crew was welcoming and friendly. Our pilot, Tammy, answered all the questions and had great information (plus had such a smooth landing!). We took our three younger kids and they felt safe and comfortable the entire ride. The crew was so kind and fun with them, too! Murray was so engaging at the end of the flight during snacks and mimosas. I highly recommend this company for anyone. Incredible experience from start to finish.
