Great communication and arrived to pick us up right on time. Had to change to a morning flight due to the heat, not their fault and they were very proactive about rescheduling. We had a great flight!

Great experience but a bit boring

Great once in a lifetime experience but not a lot to see. One chateaux and a lot of farm land. Very professional staff absolutely no problems but as I said not a lot to see.

Operator response

Dear Passengers, Ballon flight goes with the wind and Royal Castle are 20Km distance between each other. We are able to guarantee one major castle and generally some others according to the wind direction and speed. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Balloon Revolution Team

While advertised as an English tour our pilot could not give safety instructions without help guest. Flight narrative was all in French. Nice balloon ride but should be clear about languages

Operator response

Dear passengers, It is regrettable that, before writing your review, you did not ask our team for an explanation… you would then have learnt that, in order to meet high demand and cover for the absence of one of our pilots, we had to call in an external pilot. The key point, as you highlight, is that the safety instructions and guidelines were provided to you in English and that the flight took place under the best possible conditions. The rest of the story, although secondary, could have been explained to you if only you had asked… Best regards, BalloonRevolution Team

Ideal flight

Superb flight Saturday 09 May evening, with a team at the top. Our pilot grazed the Loire with our nacelle and made a superb landing (the nacelle remained vertical). Thank you all.
