Perfect day - From start to finish a perfect day with Richie picking us up at hotel, Tino as captain of our balloon and Irving as our guide through the ruins

Highly recommended - Highly recommended. Great experience from start to finish. Our driver arrived sharply on time, we waited about two cups of coffee and one bathroom visit long before taken to observe filling up of the ballon. Once in air there’s a drone camera following the balloons so remember to waive and smile (a copy would be available in the end for purchase) - I wish I knew beforehand cuz it would have freed me from taking my own subpar photos and focus on the observation.
The breakfast was what it was - an experience. Don’t expect fine cuisine but it was in a cave and we were sat on barn tables and were able to mingle a bit with other tourists which was nice.
After breakfast we were chauffeured to the anthropological zone (pyramids). I thoroughly enjoyed our informative and humorous guide - the stories and symbolism were what made it a walk through time, not the just the stones.
Our driver waited for us the entire time and sent us to the hotel (or other points of interest if we wish so). I find the entire experience smooth and enjoyable, and they did stick to their time table.

Very professional - Our host Ginny was fantastic! Such a lovely fun person and very knowledgeable! You can tell she switches her approach based on the needs of the guest which was great! Ginny also helped us find someone to do one final activity we had been hoping to do which was incredibly helpful and she followed it all the way to make sure it happened as planned and we had a good time.
We were unlucky with the weather so didn’t get views but that’s the risk of this kind of activity.
Only issue we had was Viator showing we could have pick up at our hotel but this didn’t match the tour operator approved pick ups. We managed a solution but definitely something to be fixed with aviator to avoid awkwardness.

Would def do this - The experience was amazing and the process was so seamless, 10/10 and our tour guide and driver were equally great. Only note is the experience says there's a tequila tasting after seeing the ruins but that wasn't something that was offered to us.

A wonderful experience! - The views were amazing. It was so peaceful floating above the temple complex early in the morning with so many other hot air balloons adding to the view. Our guided tour of Teotihuacan was informative and personalized. Highly recommend booking with this group!

Bucket list day - This was an incredible experience for myself, my husband, and our 14-year-old son who is deeply interested in history. We were cared for so well from pick-up at our AirBNB by our thoughtful and helpful driver to the air balloon ride to a delicious breakfast to the tour of the ruins with our exceptional guide. Our son was thrilled to learn from our guide, who had a degree in prehispanic Mesoamerican history and was a wealth of knowledge and wise perspective. The ruins themselves were astonishing. The entire experience made for a bucket list day that was well worth the splurge.
