可以自己動手幫忙準備架起熱氣球和較落後的收尾,我們覺得很好玩!駕駛會介紹旅途中看到的景色,將落後也有很特別的橋段,不是一般的開香檳慶祝而已,這是我在別的地方都沒有體驗過的。 缺點是我們並不知道自己的團費不包含免費接送,老板在結束熱氣球要回程的時候和我們收錢,有種不給就會被丟包在荒野的感覺,如果在前一天確認接送時間地點時能告知一下會比較好,否則我們以為自己是屬於免費接送的,訂單上也並沒有說折扣多少就算是super discount ,不然其實我們可以自己開車過去。
Good experience
Was great having you join us. Was good that we have multiple launch sites so that we could launch away from the low cloud to give you the best views.
