A perfect evening in a hot air balloon! Matt was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Obviously with the unpredictability of the UK weather it can be difficult to arrange but he always kept great contact and gave us a call before we had to set off on any journey to advise of how likely it was looking. Great communication all the way and when we eventually got to meet him and fly he was such a great laugh which made the flight 100% better. So knowledgeable on flying, the area, the balloon festivals etc. 100% recommend to anyone.

Had a flight from Matt at Vista Balloon flights last weekend which was one of the most memorable events of our lives. Cannot recommend this enough and something everyone should have on their bucket list! Matt made the whole expereince so personal with just myself, my husband and Matt in the balloon and with the amazing Will below.

Deliberately chose Vista Balloons rather than the big ballooning brands to get a more personal experience. Matt & his team were completely on point throughout and wow, his patch deep in the Northants countryside is spectacular.

Thank you so much for a great day and making the joint birthday celebrations a wonderful memory. It was great that the event took place and ran on time. Previous balloon rides have been delayed or canceled due to the weather so being able to set off as planned made it special. I would like to say a special thank to team fir thier experience and knowledge to reassure the passengers and their friendly approach. Thank you so much, we hope to fly with you in the future xx

I would thoroughly recommend Vista Balloon Flights, which I bought for my 18 and 21 year old daughters for their birthdays, which took off from the Northampton Balloon Festival. They totally enjoyed it, and said it was the best present ever.
