Amazing! - This tour was so much fun! Though the distant views were obstructed due to pollution, the views of the pyramids from above is amazing. I initially thought I was going to do the tour of the pyramids after but thought after seeing them from above it was enough of a perspective!

LOVED every minute - This was an amazing experience! Volare does not hold back on providing the best safety and staff. I felt safe the entire time. All of the staff were seasoned and knew exactly what they were doing.
You do not get a cave-lunch experience but I loved that I purchased a hot air balloon flight and its exactly what I got; no up-sells, no tourist trap sales etc.
I would 1000% recommended flying with them and if I am going to do this experience again, I would book with them again!

Amazing experience!!!! - Everything was incredibly well-organized and professional. (Hot Air Balloon Company is Volare). Pick up happened in the AM within the range advised, check-in at hot air balloon site was pretty efficient. Breakfast after was lackluster, but that is easily forgiven because there was a mariachi band!
The hot air balloon ride is a MUST—and this is coming from someone deathly afraid of heights! It was an amazing experience — highly recommend.
I also opted to go into the Teohuatican pyramid site after and paid an extra $35 USD for the guided tour. It was really fun and informative. They do take you to a sliver place trying to get you to buy, but that didn’t bother me.
Overall, one of my most memorable experienxes and worth every penny!

Life changing - Amazing once in a lifetime experience. Would highly recommend to anyone. My husband and I were stunned by how beautiful Teotihuacan looked from 9,000ft above sea level. We even got a little emotional.
Highly recommend the optional tour after. Our tour guide was so informative. It was well worth the money.

Worthwhile experience - If you are planning to visit Teotihuacan this balloon ride is a must. The views were spectacular. It was absolutely gorgeous to see the sun rise behind the pyramids as you take the ballon ride up. Just remember this a ballon. There is no steering system so your just going where the wind takes you, none the less we had great guides and they made the experience seamless. I was traveling alone, so getting picked up from my hotel and having a guided tour made the experience very fun and took a lot of the stress of planning out of it for me. I just had to up and ready for my pickup time. I will say remember to take some cash if you want to buy any souvenirs from the surrounding areas. And bring water.

Good but not worth the hype - Overall an OK experience. A lot of hanging around and waiting. The breakfast not that good so suggest you bring snacks. The balloon flight is good but you only see the ruins for a little at the start, and then you’re just flying over random little towns.
