I walk with a walker and was able to do this ride. The whole staff was great but the Pilot Jean Phillip was exceptional. Was 150% for me. The only reason I was able to have this dream come true. I cannot Thank him enough!

It was a nice, cool day and we waited while the team ran a few balloon tests to see which direction our balloon would travel. We ended up not going over Fountainebleau, but it was nonetheless a beautiful trip! It was our first ever hot air balloon trip and it did not disappoint. We soared over gorgeous villages and churches where some of the locals waved up at us. We finished it off with helping the team pack up and a champagne toast. Must try!!

We had a fantastic time and felt very safe. The team was welcoming and professional. The views were fantastic and now we want to go on another of their rides in a different region. It was a little difficult to find a date, as our first was cancelled due to weather conditions, but that's just how it is with hot air balloons. Great experience once we got there :)

An experience of a lifetime. An amazing family memory to enjoy our first hot air balloon ride together. Hopefully it is the first of many. The Fontainebleau area scenery just made this an over the top experience. Our flight crew was knowledgeable, friendly and informative.

The whole trip was amazing---riding over the French country as the sun started to set. My favorite part was how low we got to the ground and how we just flew over a little town, almost as if we were a part of that town. The pilot was great and I felt very safe. And the champagne toast to follow was awesome. I would definitely do it again.

Staff is excellent . It was a little confusing coordinating with Viator. Viator continued to state the time as 6:30 pm. Really it is 16:30. Viator please correct your time. The staff was very competent and personable. The views were peaceful but boring compared to our trip over Cappadocia in Turkiye. Weather was perfect and the view lovely but not exciting. Also, it is NOT a half day. More time is spent riding around in a van. Luckily we had our own driver who followed the Montgolfier vehicles and the balloons. It was great for an introductory hot air balloon trip.

The floating with the wind created a deep serenity of no resistance that surprised me and was something I had never felt before, almost surreal watching our sister balloon and the land so peaceful. Lovely crew who made it all appear so easy and fun, so gracious! This is a five star experience in every way!

Adrian and his crew are phenomenal! Floating by he gives you a commentary and answers any questions you may have. Don't miss the chance taking this once in a lifetime experience!!!

As a graduation gift, I hosted this family to Fountaine Blue for a hot air balloon excursion. Our pilot Adrian and his wonderful ground crew made the experience pleasurable, put even the nervous at ease and comforting. It was a grand conclusion to a wonderful family vacation in Paris
