Best day! - Such an amazing experience! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic day! The road closures in CDMX caused some delays, so they let us have a private balloon. Our guide was amazing and so was breakfast at the local restaurant!

Hot air balloon tour and visit the Teotihuacan pyramids - The balloon ride over the Teotihuacan pyramids was a magical moment. We continued our day with a visit to the pyramids accompanied by an exciting guide. The organization was perfect. Breakfast, too.

Balloon over pyramids - Wonderful to have a Birds Eye view of the pyramids. Very well organised experience, with lovely staff taking care of things. We opted for breakfast at the local restaurant which was part of our package. Very nice breakfast, the owner who also looked after us at the balloon depot gave us the history of the pyramids which was very informative

Amazing, breathtaking and beautiful! - We absolutely love this as it is the best way to sew the Pyramids without spening hours walking, especially for those with mobility challenges. We did learn that the transportation option is probably best as 3 Uber drivers canceled on us as fewer drivers were available that early in the morning. Excellent communication from the tour operators!

Beautiful early morning... - Beautiful early morning views of the pyramids from the sky. Chilly at 5am, so layer up, because it gets warm by mid morning. Pickup at my hotel was easy and the ride from Polanco was about an hour to the "balloon-port". I was flying solo this trip, so it was just me and the driver in his sedan, and the driver spent the entire day "on call", shuttling me to the balloons, on to the restaurant, to the pyramid parking, and ultimately back to my hotel. He wasn't the guide - that was someone else that I met at the balloon-port who actually guided me through the experience, including the walking tour of the pyramids. Lovely balloon time - about 100 balloons in the air on a Saturday morning, so there was a lot going on, but it was really beautiful and you can't beat a sunrise view from the sky. Great overhead view of the historical site and surrounding land. Breakfast at a local place was simple and tasty (I love chilaquiles). Ended up hanging around waiting after my meal for nearly an hour as the guide for the walking tour was waiting for a few more people to come out from the city to meet up. (This waiting is why I only gave 4 stars). Guide handled tickets for the pyramid park, was knowledgeable, and had talking aids like maps and photographs. We spent a couple of hours walking the pyramids: make sure to wear comfortable shoes and expect a lot of walking on gravel and some steep stairs. I was expecting the end to end to be 5-6 hours, but it was tracking to 8+ hours, so I asked to cut my portion a little short to get back into town. (5a pickup, thought i'd be back by 11a, barely made it back by 1p)

A must if you’re in the CDMX area. - Great overall experience and ended up being just as advertised. Seeing the whole process of how the balloons are set up to fly and then deflated afterwards was very interesting. The views over the pyramids is truly something to be seen. I would give 5 stars (even 4.5), but I purchased the 5 AM excursion, but was told afterwards that there was no transport available and that I’d have to do the 6 AM. My intention was to be onsite for sunrise however luck was on my side and there was a lot of fog for the 5 AM and it burned off by the time my group went up! 😂 Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I got some wonderful photos.

Beautiful but dangerous - Very good! can be also dangerous! We had a bad landing due to wind and hurt our knees! Luckily no more sincere injuries! Need to have some first aid and baskets not to be overcrowded as we hit to each other while landing!
