"Made reservation several months ago for four adults. Was a little hesitant at first, but after speaking with the representatives of this company, we were very comfortable with the competency and experience of our balloon pilot and crew members. Our balloon lift was during Albuquerque balloonFest. Everything happened just as we were told. Very professional staff, safety was a priority Do not hesitate to take this experience, even for those who have the slightest fear of heights or flying. The ride was beautiful as we traveled over schools, houses, parks highways and nearby hills. It was a blast! We will do it again someday and use the same company.." - Richard, 2024-10-07

"First and foremost I want to thank all of the crew members that made this such an incredible experience. Not only were they fast, friendly and safe they were informative, funny and more. Sean the pilot was fantastic. He was willing to do things other pilots would not even attempt. He made everything exciting and as terrified as I was he really made everything feel safe. Going low into the mountains close enough to see the critters on the ground. The weather was perfect . At the end Sean told us all the story about the champagne ballon flight as we all shared a glass of champagne! The glasses were gorgeous and the toast sealed the deal. This was my husband and I first wedding anniversary and it was everything and some. I can't brag enough, I'm still smiling from ear to ear and my husband hasn't stopped talking about finally checking this off our bucket list! Thank you thank you every single person involved!

"Great flight with experienced operator. Felt good the entire flight " - Eric, 2024-01-29
"Wonderful flight today. We got both high altitude views and some really interesting low altitude travel over ridges and canals. Lots of good photography. The balloon was of adequate size for the dozen passengers and all could get good views, to one child who was perhaps 6 years old was too short to easily see over the edge of the basket. Aerogelic was a good choice for a flight across the Sonoran desert area. " - Donald, 2024-01-15

"What a wonderful experience! The crew was amazing! Michelle and Matthew were so much fun and really made the experience a blast. We were able to ride in the balloon and then do some chasing. Arrival and drop off were seamless and will definitely fly with this crew again. This group departed away from the fiesta field, so we weren’t in the middle of all the balloons, but there were several balloons in our take off group, so we got the experience of flying among the balloons. Thanks for such a wonderful experience! My only helpful hint is a reminder email a day or two would have been a nice addition. " - Vanessa, 2023-10-11
"A hot air balloon ride has been at the top of my list for years. There are many companies in Sedona that offer this service but I am so glad I chose Aerogelic. We were shuttled to a launch site and they promptly prepared the balloon for take off. The pilot was experienced and we soared above Phoenix safely, smoothly and landed without issue. I would fly with this company again if I am ever in the area." - Joy, 2023-09-20
"This was an amazing experience. The view was nice. Our tour guide was very helpful and took Us over the mountains for an amazing view. Only issue was everyone really thought we were going to catch the sunrise, when balloons go out after sunrise. Still early but daylight. It wasn’t a problem, just misleading and that’s on all of the sites! Overall I’d do this again and again with same Company! " - Teresa, 2023-09-19

"This was a splendid experience touring the city from above. Wonderful views and excellent crew. Staff was superb, timely, and humorous. The event coordination was remarkable as well. The wind blew our flight off course but I couldn’t have asked for a better time. The pilot was gracious in his landing and reassured the crew of a wonderful time. Hats off to people behind this truly great time in the sky . " - Wendy, 2023-04-29
"Our pilot and crew were amazing loved them joking, telling stories, and history. It was amazing to go through the little mountains. We believe we had the best pilot setting is back on the ground so generally while we watched other balloons baskets being dragged or through the brush. We will definitely take an other ride some day." - Tracy, 2023-04-23
"Outstanding experience. From the initial sign up with a heather, thru the set up, flight and Champagne toast at end. Shane was an exceptional pilot. He demonstrated his skills through the entire flight; even having us fly subterranean! We especially got to see his skills at the end when winds kept switching as he was landing; very fun to enjoy. Thanks for the great memories! " - MARK, 2023-04-23
