Don was very knowledgeable and got the balloon up and guided it with ease. It was so beautiful and peaceful. He answered all my questions very kindly. Im so glad we went on this experience and so glad Don was our pilot!
Our hot air balloon ride was super enjoyable and a very unique experience. It was just the two of us and Don the balloon pilot. He was very accomplished and a wealth of information! So amazing to silently glide above the countryside, hearing the cattle and dogs below. Then, the noise of the burner roaring flames into the cavernous envelope above and one again silence!! Highly recommend the trip. Stay several days in the lovely Shenandoah Valley and enjoy!!
