    This was a VERY FUN DAY !!! This balloon trip was an Anniversary Gift from our kids. Originally I…read morewas not too sure and something that I would not have planned to do !! However it turned out to be VERY FUN DAY !!!

    I give it a 4.5. We had to arrive super early and wait for them to set up everything. It was cold…read moreoutside and they did provide coffee, hot chocolate and snacks. We the weather being so unpredictable we had to wait. I was fine with wait because i do value my life. I had the chance to cross off a major item from my bucket list. A hot air balloon ride and wow, what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Floating high above the landscape, seeing everything from a completely new perspective, was truly magical. The sunrise was especially beautiful as we drifted along, and the silence up there, broken only by the loud occasional burst of the burner, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. That said, there were a few things to consider. The heat from the burner can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it. I didn't wear a hat, and I really wish I had and i am short 5'2 those blasts of hot air can get pretty intense when they hit you directly! So, if you're planning this trip, definitely bring something to cover your head. The landing was a bit of a wild ride, too. The ground was much harder and more uneven than I expected, and we didn't quite know where we'd land until we were almost on top of it. Also getting in and out can be extremely challenging. It's hard climbing into and out of the basket and it's very tightly packed. Not a lot of space to move. I knew the risks going in but the whole experience was so worth it. Even with those little surprises, it was absolutely incredible. Would I do it again? Definitely not! Despite the heat and the bumpy landing, the beauty of the experience makes it all worthwhile and a one timer for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable to add to your list of adventures. Just don't forget your hat!

    I did my very first tandem skydive at NorCal Skydiving 18 years ago. Last July, I came back with my…read moredaughter and I did my second tandem, she did her first--and we immediately fell in love with skydiving & knew we wanted more. One month later, we did another jump at NorCal and expressed our desire to continue. Tyler & Jim explained the process of getting licensed and by then we knew there was no turning back. We started our AFF classes because we knew skydiving was something we wanted to keep doing... and we wanted to get licensed to jump alone. Tyler and everyone at NorCal Skydiving have been absolutely incredible. From day one, they've been supportive, motivational, and genuinely encouraging. Safety is clearly a top priority, and the team is always honest, fair, and professional while still making the entire experience fun and empowering. This is the kind of place that makes you believe in yourself and pushes you--safely and responsibly--to do things you never thought you could. I truly cannot recommend NorCal Skydiving enough. If you're even thinking about skydiving, this is where you want to be!!!

    We spent the day at NorCal Skydiving yesterday celebrating my mom's 85th birthday -- yes, her 85th…read more(and not even her first jump -- she also went at 80!). About a dozen of us jumped together, while other friends and family came along to cheer us on. It was truly one of the best family outings ever. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the entire staff made the day unforgettable. From start to finish, every instructor and team member was not only highly professional and experienced, but also welcoming, funny, and able to put even the most nervous among us completely at ease. They took the time to check in with each of us about our comfort levels and gave us the choice to either soar gently like a bird or try out some more daring stunts -- always safe, but always exciting. I want to give a special shout-out to Tyler, my instructor, who made my first jump feel natural, safe, and completely exhilarating. Also to Jim, who wasn't working that day but hung out with us, shared amazing stories, and made us feel like part of the NorCal Skydiving family. What a pleasure to meet him! I honestly didn't know what to expect and thought I'd be terrified once I was up in the plane, but instead my fears disappeared and I was able to embrace the entire experience. The mix of freedom, serenity, and sheer accomplishment is something I'll never forget. If you've ever thought about skydiving, do it -- and do it here. NorCal Skydiving gave us one of the best days of our lives. I can't recommend them highly enough and I will definitely be back.

    Take wing and DO THIS! I bought this adventure as a birthday present for the hubby, and he loved it…read more(as well he should have). Andy was a great pilot and flew that biplane with gusto. Needless to say, I made sure to pay the little extra so hubby could experience the aerobatics this plans could do...giant loops and barrel rolls and cutting toilet paper (you'll have you fly to know what I'm talking about on that one). If you've been thinking about it, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to try this adventure at least once. You'll be glad you did...hubby is already planning his next ride up into the wild blue yonder in the warbird. We call dibs!

    My brother & sister-in-law joined my wife and I at Adventure Flight in Lincoln this past Sunday. We…read morewere there for open cockpit, biplane rides. What a fantastic experience. Years ago there was a period where I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in small, private, single engine airplanes. Except for long-hauls, I always enjoyed them more that commercial jet flights - the experience is more up close and personal. Anyway, nothing compares to my biplane experience at Adventure Flight. What a bunch of fun. Andy is a skilled and personable pilot. I had signed up for aerobatics and although slightly apprehensive, I was committed to "sticking to the plan". The pilot made it easy, comfortable and excitingly memorable. We did multiple, giant loop de loops and barrel rolls along with other maneuver that I can't name. I am not a young man .... but, I can honestly say this was one of the most fun things I have done in my life .... Consequently, I plan to do it again. I highly recommend Adventure Flight. Note, Andy's fleet is not limited to the biplane.

    Jim is honestly super amazing. Where do I even begin? First of, Jim is very punctual as you can…read moreprobably see from the other reviews. The Saturday that he drove us, he knew there was an event, so he made sure to pick us up earlier to ensure we wouldn't be late to our first wine tasting. Throughout the day, he made sure we would have enough time to get from one winery to next. Second, Jim is a very safe driver. We rented a Tesla for the weekend, and he was able to drive the car without any issue. On top of that, he very nicely offered to charge the car for us, so we wouldn't have to do that the next day. Third, Jim is very knowledgeable. He knows wine and knows what winery would suit our taste. He has a wealth of knowledge about wine, and it was super fun to talk to him about that, which goes into my fourth point. Jim is very friendly and polite. It's extremely easy to talk to him, and we felt super comfortable right away. I am so glad we found Jim, and we'll definitely come back to him again the next time we're in Napa for wine tasting!

    We are so happy with chose to book with Jim & WeWine Napa for our getaway weekend tastings…read more I did a ton of research and not only was his price point more competitive he adds tremendous value through his market knowledge and customized itineraries that were specific to our personal needs (varietal, ambiance, farm to table, grape to glass). Whereas other vendors simply do the driving he coordinated all of the tastings, got us the best tables with prime views, and even booked a last minute dinner reservation at a highly desired establishment. All the managers know him by name and it's refreshing to walk up to a winery and truly feel like a VIP. The cost was nominal when looking back at all the planning and coordination it would've taken to replicate our itinerary. Not to mention driving to each winery during what most don't realize is a pretty long day if done on your own. Instead it was one of the most relaxing experiences ever and something you should all highly consider if planning on visiting more than a couple of wineries in a day. Highly recommend reaching out to Jim he carries great pride in what he does and goes above and beyond to ensure the Napa experience is unforgettable!
