Johnny, professional and funny, an outstanding story teller and experienced pilot, made our trip thought he canyons fun and memorable. Small group size and hard working ground crew exuded confidence and positive experience. The champagne at the end made a beautiful finish to the morning.

For our anniversary, my wife and I decided to take a hot air balloon flight. We'd been wanting to since we attended our first Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta (another bucket list must). I researched Santa Fe Balloon Company on Trip Advisor and the internet and though my wife is afraid of heights, we decided to do it. We were picked up... More

Johnny is the BEST! Truly a professional and a great all around guy. What an experience! He and his crew took care of everything, from setting up, tearing down, providing a champagne toast, and even taking photos with our cameras to memorialize the event. Could not have been more pleased. If you get to Santa Fe, NM, you just HAVE... More

We highly recommend this experience when you are in Santa Fe. Johnny and his crew are friendly and professional. They pick you up at your hotel and take you out to the desert for a 1 1/2 hour balloon ride complete with stories, humor and beautiful views. At the end we were treated to a champaign toast and lots of... More

We flew in the balloon over the New Mexico countryside. It was a very calm day and although we had a fairly long ride it could have gone on much longer as far as I was concerned. It was beautiful and serene. The calm of the early morning was only broke by the rush of gas into the burner heating... More

Wonderful experience! A must do in Santa Fe, great service and A-MA-ZING views! Johnny and his crew takes very good care of you, starting with hotel pickup to the site. Very safe and gentle, not scary at all!

Johnny, Jeanne, Robert and the rest of the crew were just fabulous. Super friendly. With Johnny's 40+ yrs of flying experience, I had no worries with my life in his hands. I would recommend EVERYONE to go. The views were just breath-taking, especially one who's from the concrete jungle of NYC. Forget Albuquerque and go find Johnny and his crew!

Johnny, Jeanne, and Robert were wonderful as pilot and crew! Picked us up at 445am and drove out to our ballooning site. The drive there was filled with stories about Johnny, past flights, and people. The winds were quiet and we went up about 1200 feet and saw beautiful views. My daughter even piloted for a bit. We got some... More

My husband had never wanted to go up in a balloon. I had flirted with the idea, but wasn't sure. But when we realized there was a chance for a balloon trip on our Santa Fe vacation, we decided we needed to do it. And wow, are we glad we did. All of the reviews are accurate: Johnny, Jeanne, and... More

I have to agree with everyone else. The experience of ballooning was amazing, and being able to have Johnny as our guide was a treat. He is extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. This is a must-do for a Santa Fe vacation!
