Best way to experience Teotihuacan! - I was looking for a tour that offered Balloon ride and a guided tour of Teotihuacan, and this was one of the rare tours that offered this. We started the day early but there was a small miscommunication where the sister tour operator tried to pick us up 40 minutes before our stated pickup time. After we resolved that initial miscommunication, it was all smooth sailing.
Angeles picked us up promptly at the right time, and drove us out to the Balloon takeoff site. The ride itself was fantastic! I was riding with two people who had a fear of heights, but this experience was enjoyable for both! It is extremely gentle ride, to the point that you don't even realize when you've lifted off.
You don't need a jacket or anything as the heat from the propane flame can get quite warm. So, dress for a normal day. The flight lasted about an hour before we landed which is quite exciting as the pilot doesn't have directional control and it's a joint effort with the ground team to land the Balloon.
We went back to the takeoff site for a decent breakfast while being serenaded by a Mariachi band. We weren't expecting this, so it was a nice surprise.
After breakfast, we went to the tour office to sign some paperwork, and pick up our guide for Teotihuacan- Luis. Luis was phenomenal. He has great knowledge about the archeological site, and was very patient with us when we stalled to take photos. All of this made for a wonderful day - they were even able to take us to the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent as we had enough time.
I cannot recommend this experience enough. This is more expensive than the other tours that offer Teotihuacan Balloon and Site visit but it is absolutely worth it ad you get small group focus which truly elevates the whole experience.
I would definitely choose Angeles and her team again.

Great tour - Great tour and fantastic experience. Loved it.
Baloon ride is great experience, loved every second of it. The guide during the walking trip after the ride was very knowledgable and it was really interesting.
Breakfast and dinner that was included was edible although room for improvement always exists.

Simply amazing - 5 out of 5. Our guide Eloy was simply amazing. I’m not sure if you can request a particular guide but if you can Eloy can’t be beat. Super knowledgeable, passionate and spoke very good English.

It's all about history from the eyes and words of the guide. - Luis the guide. No question was unanswered. A very passionate young man who clearly is for preserving the Mexican heritage and history. I made a comment that its people like him who are change makers. Every aspect of the long walk was filled with stories. My group consisted of diverse people and Luis was able to share his wealth of knowledge. The overall day from pickuo to drop off was smooth.

Spectacular ballon, walk and bike day! - This was one of the best tours and tour companies we have ever done! Just incredible. Our driver , Giovanny was right on time to our Airbnb and with us at every step of transport and was so friendly and prompt. Once we got to the hot air balloon site it went so smoothly with check in and getting everyone organized and in their groups. The balloon flight was spectacular! Exceeded all my expectations ! The ride was smooth and so beautiful to be above the pyramids with all the colorful balloons in the sky. Our pilot in the balloon made sure we saw the pyramids and ruins from every angle and viewpoint. The day could not have been more picturesque. We landed softly and he had champagne to toast our flight! Then we were treated to a lovely breakfast buffet in the courtyard complete with a mariachi band! Our driver was there and waiting to take us to the bike shop where we met our guide Ramon. He was friendly and so knowledgeable! We biked to the pyramids and he gave us incredible amounts of information as we walked the archaeological site. He even had us pose and took the best pictures We continued our bike ride to a cave and another site of some ruins. All amazing and Ramon continued to educate us and tell stories. He then had us ride to a courtyard where we were treated to an early afternoon happy hour and learned about how they work with obsidian. Finally we went to our lunch spot. A nice little restaurant in the village. Everything was delicious! Giovanny again was waiting for us to drive us back to the city. We were picked up at 5:40 and home around 4:30. What a day! Well worth every penny!!!!

Amazing balloon - Everything very well organized, the balloon was amazing and very special . The walk and visit an explanation of Teotihuacán was good. The bicycle tour was not very special. And I would not do that the next time you visit a cave and a commercial place.

Ballon’s yes! Tour not really. - The balloon ride was great the walking tour - led by a different vendor was rushed and not worth it. He rushed us through the museum and was more focused on add on sales than sharing the history of the amazing place. We ended up in a hard sell sell of “artisanal products” and the included lunch was not good. Do the hot air balloons and then just tour the pirámides yourself.
