Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight Over York

This was my second flight with the Yorkshire Balloon Flights and was partly to surprise a cousin who had his first flight as an 80th birthday present. Having had previous flights cancelled, always due to the vagaries of the weather only, it was great to be able to partake on the first booked date, thank you weather gods. As before the flight was excellent with a suitable running commentary by the owner/pilot, Oliver who again made the whole experience personal. Much time and effort is put in to making a photographic commemorative record of the flight. I have no hesitation in recommending people to use this company which, in my opinion, is excellent value for money. Many thanks Oliver and your company.

Just finished an amazing morning with yorkshire baloon flights. What an experience. Loved every minute, the views over york were unreal and everything was so well organized. Ollie and Reeve (forgive me if that's wrong) did a great job.keep up the good work guys.

Top notch flight and experienced crew made the flight unforgettable for all the right reasons - topped off with a glass of cold ‘bubbly’ and certificate. Opted for the photo/video package that is winging its way via email - all very efficient but relaxed.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience - Oliver and Ribs were a brilliant team getting everyone involved in set up and clear down. The flight itself was very smooth with an excellent landing . The views were incredible . And a lovely surprise at the end of champagne in a field ! Would highly recommend this experience as a fun and safe thing to do .

This was on my 50th year bucket list and it certainly did not disappoint. The booking was easy - even when I got cancelled due to the weather a couple of times , all communications were clear and concise. Today I got to go up in the newest Balloon and it was totally amazing - unloading the basket, setting up the balloon, packing the balloon away - you take part in it all!! It is a one stop shop experience not to be missed. As a solo passenger it was fantastic - everyone was looked after and involved in the experience. If you have any doubts in your mind don’t let them stop you!!’ It was seamless, safe and secure!! The ride itself was smooth - the take off, you don’t actually realise you had taken off till we got in the air - we had a beautiful clear day and managed to cruise to 4000 feet. The landing into Elvington Airfield was also extremely smooth!!! After packing away the balloon the glass of bubbly was very welcomed!!! Thankyou so much I would 100% book again with yourselves!!!
