The Chinese and English commentary is provided in the same vehicle, with the driver/guide switching between languages. The overall itinerary was well-paced. While the chocolate and cheese weren't particularly amazing, the winery offered a wide selection of wines for tasting, which was quite satisfying!
1. The premium shuttle bus departs around 2:30-2:43 AM. You'll be notified of the time in an email the day before, not at midnight as stated on the website. 2. Check in and select breakfast using the link in the email. 3. Arrive around 4:30 AM, then check in and receive your group stickers. Each boat carries 24 people. 4. The driver is very helpful in providing directions. 5. Pilot Sam is extremely professional; we flew very high. Other hot air balloon companies were also flying at the same time, so we saw many colorful and beautiful balloons. 6. We helped pack up the balloons at the end, which was a bit tiring, but acceptable. 7. Although it was tiring to stay up until the early morning for the bus ride, it was totally worth it!
