Hi,
Safe, organised and plenty of fun before you'd even left the ground – that's exactly how a balloon adventure should begin! Thanks for getting stuck in and flying with us.
Thanks,

Amazing experience! Only had 1 cancellation a week earlier. Tom the pilot was lovely. Everyone helped getting the basket in position and setting out the balloon.
We just floated off into the air. Spectacular views.
Highly recommended to everyone

The whole experience was fantastic
The whole experience was fantastic and more than I expected. Pilot Nobby and his crew were friendly, professional and hugely knowledgeable. I really appreciated their honesty, attention to safety, and the ability to be involved throughout the experience. Thank you to them all!

What an amazing experience
What an amazing experience. Even though this was my third balloon flight it was just as good, if not better than the others. Mark the pilot was informative and friendly and everyone joined in to help deflate the balloon.

Hi Kate,
Oh wow! So the third time was the charm? :)
We're so glad your most recent flight was even more memorable than those before and we're glad that pilot Mike added to your experience with his local knowledge! He's a true professional!
Thank you for flying with us and for the lovely review! You're welcome back anytime! :)

Hi,
Why just watch a balloon adventure when you can be part of it?! We're so pleased you enjoyed getting stuck in, and it sounds like your pilot did a cracking job of bringing the whole experience to life.
Thanks,

13 years trying and we finally did it!!
It was on a perfect albeit very hot summer’s evening with the partial solar eclipse in progress - after 13 years of trying!! Well worth it and the crew were great and even the packing up the balloon at the end was fun.
Thank you

Antwort von Virgin Balloon Flights
Hi Barbara & Peter,
13 years of trying… now THAT is some serious determination! 😄
We’re absolutely thrilled that when your moment finally arrived, the weather played ball (and even threw in a little solar eclipse for good measure!) Talk about making up for lost time!
It’s brilliant to read that you had such a great evening with the crew and even enjoyed the packing away at the end!🎈
Thank you so much for sticking by us all these years. We’re delighted it was worth the wait and that you finally got your well-deserved flight!
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and hope you'll be back for another, although we fully appreciate you may be a little reluctant after waiting so long for your flight this time round! Ha ha!
Wishing you both all the very best!
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
Peace and quiet 👌

A beautiful, well organised, experience
Tom, our pilot, was courteous and professional, gave clear instructions and invited and answered all and any questions. His two support crew were equally friendly and helpful. Instructions to get to the flight takeoff location were easy to follow and the whole event ran on time and like clockwork. There were opportunities to get involved both pre and post flight. The flight itself was magical, with a beautiful late summer sunrise as we set off. Tom’s knowledge meant we flew high enough to experience great views of the Peak District and beyond. A superb experience with a reasonably priced photo package to remember the day. Thank you to you all.

Hi Chips!
What a lovely review, thank you! 🎈
It sounds like Tom and the crew had everything running like a well-oiled (and very large!) ballooning machine! A late summer sunrise over the Peak District sounds pretty hard to beat!
We’re also really pleased you're happy with your photos and now have some great memories to look back on. After all, it's not something you do everyday is it?
A huge thank you from Tom, the crew and all of us at Virgin Balloon Flights. We hope we’ll see you floating above the countryside with us again one day! 🎈

6+ years waiting and it was 10000% worth it!
This balloon flight was given to me as a birthday present in 2020. Over the past 6+ years we’ve booked on between 10-15 flights which have always been cancelled for weather, but this week we finally got to go and let me tell you - it was absolutely worth the wait! The experience was so so cool. Our pilot was wonderful and answered every question I asked (I was so curious how everything works!) Felt very safe and I just can’t recommend this experience enough. Be patient and keep rebooking your flights!

Wow Lynn! 6 years!!! Blimey!!
Thank you so much for persevering and sticking with us through all the cancellations. We can imagine it must have felt incredibly frustrating at times and we commend you for your patience and kind understanding!
We're glad that after such a long wait, the flight and whole experience was well and truly worth it!!
Your review is a testament that, if you stick with it, you will eventually fly and that it will all be worth it in the end!
Thank you again and thank you for recommending us - honestly it means the world to us all here at VBF HQ! :)
