I followed up a couple...
I followed up a couple times about pick up and no response until 5 pm the night before. However, the day itself went very smoothly! The driver was on time and shared his location so we knew where he was. Our host for today was very friendly and helpful throughout the day. The hot air balloon ride was incredible! I felt very safe and the crew made us feel comfortable. Highly recommend!
