Perfect Birthday Celebration!
My husband and I celebrated my 80th birthday with Daniel, his mom and their ground crew in the hot air balloon ride over Albuquerque! We loved how friendly and helpful they were throughout the whole adventure! I had a little trouble getting in and out of the basket but they knew just what to do. The champagne toast at the end included a prayer and everyone wished me happy birthday. Be sure to find a bathroom somewhere before you get to the meeting spot-we almost missed the transport van!

Highly recommend this tour!
Excellent bike tour of Albuquerque! Van, our guide, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and always attentive to our safety.One of the highlights was being able to stand right in the middle of the dried-out Rio Grande, with the picturesque Albuquerque Volcanic Field as the backdrop. Such a unique way to experience the area!Highly recommend this tour! 🚴‍♀️🌵

Best choice ever!
With limited time in Albuquerque, it was the best decision to pick this tour. Anil gave us great information and a good understanding of the history and cultures of the area. He was great keeping us on pace so we could see what was important to us, but without making us feel rushed. We’re still talking about what we saw and learned. This tour was everything we wanted it to be and more.

Four Corners Hot Air Balloons
If you’re like us, you’ve now read 50 of these reviews. We feel especially grateful that we found an experienced company like Four Corners. It’s obvious, their depth of knowledge, experience, and plain “we’ve done this before” was especially evident. We felt incredibly safe from beginning to end. Great communication – great service – great pilot… who (by the way) landed the balloon exceptionally well, and knew exactly where he wanted to land.We’d recommend this company to you wholeheartedly – so glad we chose them!

A walk back in time
They were very accommodating in asking our preferences and being flexible in achieving them. In addition to the “normal “ stops at the historic spots in the city, including museums, they also added some stops at wonderful art galleries where the owners could not have been nicer (with no sale pressure). As it is largely a walking tour, in 90 heat, and we were in our 70s he made sure to take adequate breaks, and made sure we stayed hydrated

Fabulous Private Guided Tour of Albuquerque
We had an absolutly wonderful tour of Albuquerque that covered the highlights of things to see and do. Not only that, but it was adapted to our wants and needs! For example, we couldn't do too much in the way of hiking, and our guide found a place for us with a walk to see the petroglyphs that wasnt as strenuous as a miles long hike. Our guide was friendly and helpful. I was able to call and text ahead of time with questions and got prompt friendly help. With only one day, it was a thrill for us to see the sights, eat and shop in Albuquerque. You will get a stress-free day of exploring this beautiful city. It is WELL woth it!

Great day in Santa Fe from my hotel in Albuquerque!
I was in Albuquerque for a conference and wanted a one-day trip from my hotel to Santa Fe. This is a gentle tour of the highlights of Santa Fe including historical sites and art galleries. Neil did a great job keeping the tour interesting and entertaining. Also, the flexibility was there for me to change course, take time to shop or drink a latte. If you are a small group or solo traveller and you want to go at your own pace, this tour is just about perfect.

Private Hot Air Balloon Rides in Albuquerque

Peaceful private ride
Both the pilot and the ground crew were awesome! None of us had ridden in a hot air balloon before and they were careful to explain the whole process. We got a little history lesson on Albuquerque as we flew down the river. The smaller basket allowed our party of 4 to enjoy a private ride without being packed in like sardines. We even got a champagne toast at the end of the trip. It was just amazing! Even though someone in our party struggles with motion sickness, the ride was super smooth and extremely peaceful and did not affect her at all.

10,678 feet of exhilarating highs!
We loved our snow-shoeing expedition on 1/22/2023 atop Sandia Peak with Routes Bicycle Tours! Josh and Bob were terrific guides –– experienced and friendly. The five mile trek got our hearts beating, but was not difficult. The reasonable cost included snacks and water, along with gear and tram fare, making the experience easy-peasy. We will definitely do this again!
