Pyramids with a view! - The balloon operation was very efficient, safe, and fun! Hugo was a great pilot, with lots of info and great flying tunes. We opted to take the guided tour around the pyramids. Teo led us through many areas missed by tourists (great background info at the palace). Jesus helped throughout (great photographer) and made the whole experience very worthwhile.

If you love making unforgettable memories, this experience is for you! - Our experience was truly unforgettable. The entire program was well-organized, and everything ran seamlessly despite the multiple steps involved. We opted for the pickup service, balloon ride, and Teotihuacan tour, and each part exceeded our expectations. The balloon ride was incredibly smooth and peaceful, with breathtaking views that made it easy to forget any fear of heights. Afterward, we enjoyed a traditional Mexican breakfast accompanied by live mariachi music—a thoughtful and charming touch. I highly recommend this experience to anyone, even those hesitant about heights. It’s an absolute must-do!

Unforgettable experience w/this group - This was so convenient and felt very well taken care of. My specific hotel wasn’t on the list of pick ups so I reached out via the app and the added us to the pick up, so convenient and accommodating. We arrived to check in and were greeted with coffee and fruit. They are so organized and welcoming. You were told which balloon group you were paired with (roughly 10/12 per balloon). Take off and landing was incredibly smooth. An unforgettable experience highly recommended and doing it with this group!

Dreamlike experience - This is an amazing experience of smoothly floating in the air in the sunrise and flying above the sacred sites of Teotihuacan. Surpassed all expectations and the pilot and the crew were so professional and kind. Everything worked out so well, the hotel pickup, transfer, registration, breakfast, walk visit of the pyramids and the ancient city! Well done. I would do it many times again. Thank you.

Amazing experience! Would definitely do it again - Amazing, I would definitely do it again! The operators do a great job making this as safe and as comfortable an experience as possible. Hot drinks and heat lamps were available in the waiting area during the chilly morning. I will say I was expecting more dialogue and fun facts from the tour guides during the ride. When I looked up some fun facts on my own during the ride, I was able to appreciate the significance of what I was seeing a lot more.

Fantastic experience - Pick up was straight forward and quick journey to the take off point. Check in and groups organised for balloon flight efficiently. Pilot was very good and gave us many views of both pyramids turning the basket so that everyone got good views. The landing was soft and controlled and the whole experience was great. Not to be missed.
