A great day 45 min from the city. Highly recommend - A great get away from the city for half a day. Totally worth it. The tour is very well organized and the time allocated for each activity is well planned.

One of the best experiences of my life 10/10!!!! - One of the best experiences of my life 10/10!!!! If you are reading this BOOK now, believe me you will enjoy a great and completely SAFE experience. I was very lucky to be able to fly over the pyramids and take many super nice photos, the pilot was friendly and professional, the landing was very smooth. The driver was very respectful and punctual. From the moment you arrive in Teotihuacan you are given a pleasant welcome and my guide Luna has perfect English, he was very friendly and made sure that we enjoyed the experience to the fullest. Breakfast in the cave is delicious and the place has incredible decoration. The cultural part was wonderful, you learn a lot about obsidian and agave, also try local drinks. I recommend the mezcal creams, they were my favorites. At the end of experience they gift me a beautiful obsidian necklas, with this you can see the sun!!

Incredible - Really incredible. Very professional, smooth takeoff, absolutely amazing views of the sunrise and pyramids. Landing was slightly bumpy but totally fine. I’m recovering from a recent femur fracture and still using a crutch and it was totally doable! 100% recommend

Easy and Incredible Experience - Highly Recommend! - Easy, friendly and amazing experience. From personalized communication the day before to the 1-hour drive made it simple to understand expectations. Once onsite, each person during the check-in process was friendly and helpful. For those who spoke English, we had a personal guide. The photographer was helpful in pointing out photo shoot areas. In the air, it was absolutely breathtaking view and weather. The balloon navigator offered to take our picture throughout the tour and prompted us when to look at the drones taking our video. The landing was also smooth. I was hesitant to book this, but I loved it and cannot recommend this experience enough!

Walking on a dream - This was such an amazing experience! We had our own personal photographer, and greeter who guided us through the journey. They even had drones follow our balloon for a photo option. Our pilot was very communicative and had a great playlist for our ride. Honestly felt like a dream!
