Very friendly and helpful. As the only English participants we were grateful for Fabien talking English to us and explaining everything!

Although told that English would be spoken. NONE of the team members of Art Montgolfiere were able to speak English. So a little disappointing for this special birthday experience. Also after having been given a booking confirmation for date/time these were altered and did cause some concern. Thanks to Adrenaline Hunter U.K. for managing to keep to the original booking.
