A great day all around. The perfect way to see Melbourne is from the sky and the best mode of transport for 2 is by balloon!

All I can say about this trip is that is was fantastic. The crew, the pilot everyone very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend to anyone who has not done this - you are really missing out.

This balloon trip was so beautiful, I had such a good time, they took really good care of you, the people were really nice, and the breakfast was good. But the balloon ride was great, the vineyards were beautiful, and the whole experience was really fun.

An excellent trip well worth booking. If you are from Europe remember that you have a 95 percent chance of success of flying on the day as opposed to at home with our weather etc. Brilliant fun !!!

This really ended our Oz trip in style, and was an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. It has also given us the bug for ballooning. We are now planning to go to the big Bristol(UK)Balloon Festival.

We enjoyed the trip to the wineries, the guide was a lot of fun. Only setback: the balloon flight was cancelled due to weather.

The balloon ride was very well piloted, gave us great views of the Yarra Valley and wineries and played out very well. The pick-up arrangements were not certain until the evening just before the balloon ride. Clearly the organisers, and the recorded message on the contact phone number, expected us to be either a resident of the Melbourne area or staying in a CBD hotel. We were staying somewhere else and it was only when the driver of the pick-up van called us on his mobile the evening before the ride, that I was at all confident that we would connect with the balloon in the early hours of the following morning. The organisers should also specify a clock time on their information, instead of specifying the pick-up time by an interval before sunrise.

awesome , quiet, smooth ride nonetheless .

The staff were FANTASTIC and the balloon ride was wonderful, as was our wine tour leader. That said, we visited the same winery twice once for breakfast with a tasting then and then AGAIN for lunch with another tasting at the same place. As we had paid for a full 4 stop wine tasting, going back to the place we had already eaten and tasted was a bit of a bummer. Also, the tours did not know, initially, that we were on both trips... we had to press people to connect us between the tours and even then one of the balloon operators had to drive us in his personal car to the wine tour starting place. A great day but another vineyard and lunch spot rather than doubling up would have been much better. Finally, I'd like to reiterate that the staff were fantastic. Kudos to them.

Everything was well organised from pickup to drop off at the hotel. Ride was fantastic and smooth! Champagne breakfast was good. Only adverse comment was some people talk too much on the ride, robbing others of experiencing peace and quiet up there!

Balloon ride was excellent - great experience. Only negative was I did think the company could use a few extra staff to do the pack up rather then getting the customers to do so.

I couldn't believe how smooth the ride was. Great views.

It would have been absolutely fantastic but, unfortunately, it was a smoky day and the smoke prevented us from going as high as we could have - our view would have been a lot clearer, otherwise. Apart from that, it really was brilliant!
