Highlights
  • San Francisco Mazapa - Flying over Teotihuacán in a balloon is an immersion in a magical journey through time. From the sky, ancient pyramids and monuments unfold majestically, silently telling the stories of past civilizations. This panoramic view from the air not only highlights the grandeur of this world heritage, but also deeply connects you with the essence of a culture that has marked history. Without a doubt, it is an experience that you should do at least once in your life.

Your adventure begins around 4:30 am with pickup from your hotel lobby. We recommend bringing an extra battery, as you’ll want to capture every moment, from the inflation of the balloon to the aerial views of the archaeological site. After a flight of 30 to 50 minutes, depending on weather conditions, a delicious breakfast awaits you to continue with the day.

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!!!!

Best balloon and tour experience in MEXICO - I had more than what I expected and informed, highly recommend. No you must experience this tour❤️‍🔥 Since climbing upto The Pyramid is not allowed, it is only way you can look down!! A day before, I recieved, clear and professional message about the tour cia WhatsApp. Changed to walking tour during the tour cause it was too hot. (All other ppl in my group changed) My balloon pilot was slowy spinned balloon so everyone in every corner enjoyed. I have a bit of fear of heights but I was ok 👍 My guide Eloy was very professional and good english speaker, I deeply involved during the tour👍👍

One of a kind experience - It was truly an unforgettable experience. The balloon ride was phenomenal, and Eloy, our guide, was one of the best we've had in Mexico. Highly recommend. We found it helpful to know exactly what the sequence of the attractions throughout the day was, so I would definitely reach out to the company if you have any questions about that.

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.
