“Amazing experience and worth every penny! Ravi is soo nice and helpful. The best around, that’s for sure…. Andrew, our balloon-pilot is very professional with a great understanding for safety, so that the trip is exciting but not scary at all, Also for our youngest son (9) who was quite tense at the start it turned out to be an amazing experience! Also the breakfast and trip with old Range Rovers (from the time the British found oil in the Middle East and introduced them as an alternative for camels) was second to none. We have had many trips here in Dubai, but none as good as this! Thank you…”
