Would love to visit again - Overall experience was very good. All the promised Iternary points were covered with punctuality. The communication from Ms Mi Tra was precise and without any confusion. Hotel accommodation was good. Point for improvement: since we Indians drink lot of water, the availability of water should not be limited. Oke M S

Good trip - Wonderful views of the pyramids! The balloon portion went really well. Just the right duration. It was very very cold the morning, but they sell sweaters, scarf, gloves etc there. The guide at the pyramids after was really friendly and knowledgeable.

A MUST DO TOUR! - We were picked up by Edmundo, who was super nice and comforting. Before going on a balloon flight we had coffee and a small snack. Then we headed to the balloon flight where they explained to us everything, we were able to get so many photo opportunities and videos without any issues. Next we were taken to the pyramids of Teotihuacan which was guided by an excellent tour guide named Eloy. He answered all of our questions and comments. He is very knowledgeable on the subject. There we also were able to take plenty of photos and videos whenever we wanted. After that, we went into a dark cave in which we were provided flashlights and a helmet. Once the tour was completed we enjoyed a buffet of Mexican dishes which were delicious, don’t skip out on the conchas! Overall the entire trip was excellent and safe. Will definitely do tours with these guys again when I come back with more friends. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING US WITH SUCH WONDERFUL MEMORIES!!

Fantastic, unforgettable experience! - We had a phenomenal experience! Our guide and driver picked us up and were very friendly, funny, and informative -- telling us all about the history of different areas. We had an amazing time on the hot air balloon (our first time), exploring the archaeological sights, walking through the cave, and eating the most delicious lunch! We enjoyed every aspect of the tour and learned so much about the culture and history from our tour guides. We didn't have to wait in long lines and overall it was a very safe, personalized, and fun experience. Our tour guide, Elisabeth, was fantastic as was our driver Edmundo! Elisabeth is so knowledgeable about all historic sites throughout Mexico and Edmundo helped make the car drive fun. We had lots of questions and they were always happy to answer, even giving us a longer tour to see and hear more about the sights. We highly recommend this for everyone!

Great day - Had a fantastic time with Elizabeth and Edmundo! They were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful during the day. The hot air balloon was a great experience. A slight shame that the wind blew us in the other direction from the pyramids, but that can’t be helped. Also it led to some great views of the landscape. The Teotihuacan pyramid was a highlight of our trip to Mexico City. Amazing to see in person and surprisingly the place was not too busy even on a weekend (though we may have just been lucky). Overall highly recommend this tour.

Great tour - Hot air balloon ride is amazing, we are lucky that the crater has only 3 people so we are able to take alot of amazing pictures. Our guide Jeanie and driver EDmundo are friendly and transport is on time. The best thing about Jeanie is she is knowledgeable and hospitable. She gave us the option to choose whether to go shopping or head back. Overall i highly recommend.

An exhilarating experience! - My partner and I had the most awesome time on this tour. Our tour guide Ginny (our Godess) was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Teotihuacan. We first took a fabulous hot air balloon flight over the temples. The ride (and landing) was far smoother than I ever imagined. A spectacular way to see the archaeological zone. And safe! Ginny took us through the temples and gave us a great history lesson. We next explored the caves which was a quite exciting treat. We ended our trip with a “happy hour” learning about the local drinks and did some shopping. Overall a fabulous day and experience that I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Mexico City as it’s only a short ride away made quickly and safely by our fun driver Carlito. Simply amazing!

Consider this for the pyramids - Teotihuacan pyramids are a must-visit! Ginny, our guide gave us a lot of interesting insights on the historic tit-bits. Our driver Ricardo was very friendly . The hot-air balloons didnt offer a great sight from the top, except for the pyramids. Post this, we had our breakfast, and then we visited the archaelogical site , we were in for a treat! We learnt so much in a short span of time. The caves were also interesting, good thinking on their part to provide us helmets , the height of caves was pretty low at some places.
