Natalie’s amazing service

Thank you Natalie for helping me with my voucher renewal! I was unable to use the vouchers due to a loss, but your kindness and empathy ensured that I was able to get them renewed whilst saving some money. You really made my day!

Rutland water balloon flight with Matt

We had a great time in the big red balloon. From start to finish Matt , Allen and the rest of the crew were great. Matt talks you through everything you need to know and is very knowledgeable about the area we were flying over. The flight was so smooth you don't even know you are in the air until you stand up . The landing are was good too. With a glass of fizz to finish it off. Thanks Matt .

Excellent and very memorable evening…

Excellent and very memorable evening flight with Matt Rate and team. Really clear briefing and instructions, recognising varying degrees of confidence in the guests, and very relaxed but helpful guidance and interaction throughout the flight. A simply lovely experience seeing my own county from a new perspective. Great to get involved helping out as well - all part of the excellent experience.

Amazing Balloon Flight!

We had an amazing experience with our balloon flight! We were looked after by Matt (pilot), Martin and Adam who were all brilliant!! Friendly and everything was explained perfectly. Love that you get to help the crew to set up the balloon and also to pack the balloon away! Even though my partner is scared of heights, he thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Views were wonderful, very peaceful and flight was very smooth. We both really loved the landing!! The glass of Prosecco on landing was the perfect touch!! Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back for more flights. Thank you very much!! :)

Absolutely incredible experience

Absolutely incredible experience. The whole crew including the pilot were great. We booked to fly from Bath, with take off near the crescent. Unfortunately the location got changed but that didn’t really matter. Views from the air were incredible 🤩 Our pilot took us into the clouds which was a very surreal experience but only added to the magic of it all. The landing was a soft as anything. Very interesting story at the end explaining why it is traditional to drink champagne at the end of a balloon flight!I would absolutely 💯 recommend booking with Virgin. Our pilot Nobby was brilliant as were the crew of Mel, Joe and Glynn. It was third time lucky for our booking date but I never appreciated how weather critical it is for flying. Totally worth the wait so be patient if you don’t fly first time!Soft landing guys! 🍾 🥂 🎈

Really good experience

Really good experience. Views are amazing. Only had 1 cancellation and on our 2nd booking we was lucky to go ahead. We did the sunrise, even though it’s an early start, defo worth it. Staff all very experienced and felt completely safe :)

An experience of a life time

A dream come true, and I wasn't disappointed! From getting everyone involved, to inflation and deflating, and even a toast at the end. Thanks Phil and the gang for making it an experience of a life time. Brilliant from start to finish!
