Riding in a hot air balloon is a wonderful experience no matter where you do it--but experiencing it in the Rio Grande Gorge in Taos, New Mexico is a "bucket list" adventure. Pueblo Balloon Co. in Taos is exactly as advertised--professional, knowledgeable, and fun. Door to door service, champagne and brunch are all included--but as good as all that is... More

Totally proffessional organisation. Our first balloon ride and what a great place to do it. Felt totally safe at all times. Had the option of helping set the balloon up, and helping pack up after the flight - we did it and had fun getting involved. Our trip included a fantastic breakfast afterwards. We were lucky enough to be the... More

What a professional staff and thrilling experience. Pilot Ed Smith and his team at PBC make this high-flying adventure worth every penny. From pick-up at my hotel by Dave to the flight - 1hr 27 minutes for our flight over and in the gorge, and ending with the brunch and champagne toast, I had a fabulous time. Also bought Jerrod's...

Wow, was this a great experience! We were picked up before dawn, and enjoyed the fascinating trip across the bottom of the gorge to the takeoff area. The balloon inflation was fun, and our guides were terrific. The ride itself was absolutely beautiful. We touched down in the gorge, and enjoyed all the great scenery. I was a bit concerned... More

We were in New Mexico for our honeymoon and thought a balloon ride would be a fun thing to do. At first the cost had us reconsidering, but we decided to go for it, and I'm really glad we did. Kris was our pilot, and I unfortunately can't remember the name of the woman we spoke to on the phone... More

This review is well overdue. I have taken two flights with Pueblo Balloon Company. The 1st flight was with my two daughters. Here is a testament to the professionalism of the pilot, Ed Smith. The morning of the flight they picked us up early and drove us to the launch site. The weather looked good and two full balloons were... More

Since I was a young girl I've had this recurring nightmare about falling out of a hot air balloon. Needless to say, I was a bit anxious about taking flight! Kris was our pilot and I must say, our experience was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. There are not enough words to describe the relaxing beauty of flying in a hot air balloon!... More

Even though I'm afraid of heights, Kevin and his crew made me very comfortable and it was an amazing experience! Ed and Kevin are both very experienced pilots and safety was of the highest quality. It was a great time and I'm so glad I tried it.

We have flow twice with Ed and the folks of Pueblo Balloon company. They are so friendly and you know you are in good hands. They are very particular about safety. Ed is an experienced pilot and the flight, even for someone like me who is petrified of heights was smooth and very enjoyable. Flying over the Rio Grande gorge... More

This was our first hot air balloon ride and we weren't disappointed. What an amazing way to see the gorge. Our pilot was very nice and informative. After the ride they do a brunch and tell stories and touch on the history of hot air ballooning. Lots of fun. Everyone associated with the company was very nice and professional.
