Another one off my bucket list! This was such a wonderful experience. I went alone for my 66th Birthday, my cousin was there to see me off celebrating her 72nd Birthday. The pilot and staff were Awesome. Step out on FAITH forget your FEARS...Celebrate Life ...THE BEST IS YET TO COME! The Champagne, treats and bonding with the group, was the Cherry on the cake...Rohr Balloons your a 10!

This was such a great experience. My boyfriend (now husband) who is afraid of heights decided to make two big decisions all in one day. He attempted to deal with his fear of heights and propose. From his experience with setting up the process and from our experience of the surprise not being ruined. The meet up and the before time was great everyone was nice and sort of kept to their selves. We of course knew why we were there. I let it be a much of an experience as possible though. It was a nice landing and the light snack and mimosas after were a treat. Great crew who work well together and an awesome pilot.

โ€œMy face hurts...โ€ โ€œ...from smiling since 6:30 this morning!โ€ My better half had no idea why we were up so early but the second she saw the balloon on the trailer, she lost her mind. Smiling from that very moment and I swear through the day and night. Caught the sunrise as well as perfect weather for the smoothest ride. Brian and his team are legendary and the only problem was that we couldnโ€™t ride sunrise to sunset straight through! Pictures were flawless and I donโ€™t think it couldโ€™ve gotten any better when capped with mimosas ๐Ÿ™‚ Amazing experience and canโ€™t wait to do it again!

Wow! This is a serene and amazing experience. The crew led by Brian, is amazing, very hands-on, and amazing hosts, with detailed information. They make sure everyone is comfortable - first timers, different age groups, etc. Taking a morning ride means it will get cooler. Taking an evening ride means it will be similar as on ground so dress accordingly. Do not carry any stuff with you. Hats and sunglasses are highly recommended.

At one point we went down above the surface of the lake at like 1 inch from the surface barely touched it once. I am not kidding, 1 inch guys! Amazing skills! It's very safe and a lot of fun!

Thank you so much Brian for having us on your balloon on our special day and capturing the moment of our engagement. It was great to fly with you, our balloon felt safe and was fun and enjoyable. Definitely an amazing experience overall from take off to that precious landing "sideways" lol.. couldn't be happier! Special thanks to Chino for all he's done from the ground and making sure that we enjoyed our ride. Would definitely recommend!

LOVED the experience! Rode with Brian Rohr and he was incredibly nice, professional, funny, and a joy to ride with. Other staff, Nathan and Chino, are also very hospitable. They all want to ensure you have the best experience with all the pictures to prove it. From arrival to launch and landing, it was all worth the money. We met some great people on our group flight and mimosas and snacks were provided for us when we landed! Couldnโ€™t have asked for more!

My wife and I chose to book a shared balloon flight for our anniversary about a month ago. Weather the night before was stormy, not at all placid and so the ride was cancelled. I am so glad we chose to reschedule and have our close friends join us for this incredible flight! We all were incredibly pleased by the sights and the entire experience with Rohr Balloons. Brian Rohr is a pleasure at every step from booking to touchdown, and the post-flight champagne ceremony is a wonderful commemoration of the trip. Brian is an excellent pilot as well. His confidence really eased our nerves and allowed us to relax and enjoy the sights as we soared above North Texas at over 3000 ft. He also provided a few thrills, dipping below the tree line to surprise early morning runners and construction workers, or for a scenic photo above a fountain, shot by his diligent crew who follow the balloon in a chase vehicle the whole way. He explained much of the science and art of ballooning and entertained us during the flight as well as on the ground. 10/10, would definitely fly again!

This was an Beyond awesome experience. I canโ€™t imagine how more special he could make a wedding proposal or wedding ride. We took a ride with others, but somehow it was such a well orchestrated event, it felt like every couple got special attention. This is something you definitely want to do at least once in your life! Brian and his team were so professional! Well worth every penny!!!
