BOOK THIS spectacular HOUR long ride with extras - We loved everything about this VIP hot air balloon flight experience in Teotihuacan, Mexico City offered by Javier. We had a small basket that carried just the pilot, my husband and I. The tour included pick-up from our AirBnB, a light breakfast pre-flight with pastries/coffee (not gluten free, so I just had coffee and fed a little of the bread to the sweet local dogs) at the hot air balloon company and an hour long flight. You can buy socks, ponchos, other gifts at the shop - which seemed to be reasonably priced. The tour offers a sunrise adventure where we soared above the ancient pyramids and saw breathtaking views of the archaeological site and local town. The flight lasted approximately one hour, giving us plenty of time to capture memorable photos and enjoy the serene experience. (there were go-pro photos taken, but we weren’t given/shown copies of these). There were 2 local people selling souvenirs when we landed. After the flight, we were given a bottle of water and granola bar and taken by a professional guide who provided historical and cultural insights about Teotihuacan around the pyramids with a small group (about 2 hours). It does get quite warm, so you may want to pack extra water. I was thankful our driver brought an extra hat for me to wear. There were plenty of vendors to buy souvenirs from throughout the ruins. After this we were taken to a local country club for a breakfast buffet (fruits, cereals, chilaquiles, pastries, coffee, etc). You could also order off a menu, if preferred. We walked around the grounds after, enjoying the peacocks, a horse (you could ride if you wanted) and avoiding the belgian malinois guard dogs that were tied up. It was a beautiful site. We were then taken back to our AirBnB, where we were ready for some rest after a delightful day.

Seamless, safe and incredible hot air balloon trip - If you visit Mexico City you MUST sign up for this tour! This is our second trip to Mexico City and our second time booking our hot air balloon ride through Javier. We opted for the private trip this time as there were four in our group and the price difference was quite small. We were a couple with our 7 year old daughter and my 65 year old mother. Javier recommended a different balloon company this trip to allow for a smaller balloon and we were hesitant at first as we had such a wonderful experience the first trip, but we trusted his expertise and couldn't have been happier with our trip. We were fortunate to have Javier be our guide himself this trip and were happy to meet him in person when he picked us up at our airbnb in Polanco. The 40 minute trip to the launching site went by quickly and we were grateful to leave our things safely in his new van during our flight. We checked in for the flight, signed our waivers and were loaded up almost immediately. Monsie, our pilot, was amazing! The winds were favoring all ~50 or so balloons in the air to pass below the pyramids, but Monsie knew what she was doing, raising our altitude to catch another wind current and bring us back to a different trajectory where we were able to fly right over the pyramids while the rest of the balloons missed them by quite a distance. We were grateful for her commitment and extra time to getting us close. We were one of the first balloons to take off and last to land and couldn't have been happier with our flight. Javier was waiting for us when we were returned to the launching site. He offered to take us to a local country club afterward before our return to the city. We had the whole place to ourselves almost and enjoyed a freshly made authentic Mexican breakfast, paddle-boating and horse-back riding. Javier continued to provide recommendations to us throughout our trip and we look forward to seeing him on our next return trip. If you are looking to be in good hands for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, I can't recommend this tour enough!

An unforgettable experience! - I would highly recommend this tour! The whole team was very accommodating and always answered my questions promptly. During the air balloon ride, I felt very safe. Watching the sunrise over the clouds and viewing the temples of the gods is a must especially when traveling near Mexico City. I would definitely take this tour again if I’m in the area!

Unforgettable Hot Air Balloon Adventure - Our hot air balloon ride near Mexico City was a five-star experience. The team's humor and attentiveness made the trip enjoyable from the start. The smooth ride provided breathtaking views of the pyramids and the landscape. Despite the early start, the sunrise over the pyramids made it worthwhile. I highly recommend this unique and memorable adventure to everyone.

Totally worth it! - Had an amazing experience doing the hot air balloons over the pyramids. Soaring over the pyramids and clouds below was truly breathtaking. Our group got picked up and dropped off in our neighborhood in CDMX. Hermes was a great tour guide, he is very knowledgable about the history of Mexico and Teotihuacán. After the balloons, we did a on-the-ground walking tour of the pyramids. Overall stellar experience!
