Ballooning was the highlights of our trip to Myanmar
Henry_S
, Feb 2020
My friend & I toured Yangon, Bagan, Inle Lake & Mandalay and two of the most memorable parts of our Myanmar trip was our balloon rides in Bagan and Inle lake. Ballooning is a peaceful & beautiful way to see the amazing sites around both regions. Moses, our captain in Bagan was personable and very knowledgeable about the area. Shaun who was our captain in Inle was also very fun and knowledgeable and we go to experience a touch & go boat landing on the lake which was a thrill! You will not regret ballooning over Bagan & Inle! Thank you!!!

Wow! This was an amazing adventure. It was my first time in a balloon, but Balloons Over Bagan did not disappoint. This company had been strongly recommended to me above the growing competition of ballon companies in Bagan and I'm glad I listened to the advice. The staff were great and our pilot was a wonderful guide to this experience. If you are going to Bagan, you can't miss this!

Great Experience, but some suggestions:

Overall Balloon ride was a very interesting experience, from boarding to landing. I am scared of heights but I was so much in awe of the way the balloon softly took off and landed, and the professionalism of the pilot was superb. However, the 'champagne breakfast' was disappointing. Not at all what I expected. Yes, the champagne was good, but for the price of $350 per person, I would expect white tablecloths and chairs to complete the experience.
Rather expensive but well worth...

Rather expensive but well worth it.
Extremely well organised with experienced Belgium pilot, Christophe, so felt in completely safe hands.
We were fortunate that conditions on the day allowed a long flight 1.5 hrsover the main temple region at a maximum altitude of 1100ft. However, customers should be aware that weather/wind conditions can affect the flight time and direction.
The experience finished with champagne and croissants and a chance to chat with the pilot before being taken back to our hotel in the vintage bus.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
