Bob was our pilot and although we were a... More

Recently, I went on a balloon ride with Napa Valley Balloons and had the best experience! Our pilot was Bob Swanson and he was absolutely amazing.

I was touched not only by this unforgettable experience but also people we met. Give... More

Our party of 7 rode with Captain Bob and had an amazing time! The ride was so smooth...not at all scary.
