Really well planned from... - Really well planned from point A to B.
Highly recommend signing up for this tour while you're in Mexico City. I opted for the extra 3 hours which was nice to get to see the Pyramids up close. I suggest going to the Anthropology museum first before doing the tour, it'll make it more impactful.

Excelllent tour. Very organized - This is a really solid tour. Everything as described here and in reviews. The only negative is transportation to and from - on the way there it was an older vehicle that smelled like diesel. we had a newer van, but ended up sitting in the very back ( the driver forgot to call our names to board), and it was very bumpy. My kids got motion sick.

Just do it - You have to do it there is nothing like it The views just take your breath away. An early start but so worth it. Such an experienced pilot delivered a ride to remember.

Well worth it. - Amazing day out. Can't recommend this tour enough. The whole day went so smoothly. Pick up was easy in a nice comfy vehicle. Arrived to the flight center where you could get tea or coffee. Got separated into groups for your flight. Our pilot was great, gave us loads of info about the site and about hot air balloons. After landing we were quickly transported back to the flight center for a buffet breakfast and music. We did the option to have extra time to visit the pyramids, spent about 3 hours there which was more than enough to to walk the site and visit the museum. And then transport back to CDMX.

Grand morning moments - This was an amazing adventure! The pyramids were spectacular and our guide was wonderful. Breakfast and live music was incredible and they played one of my favorite requested songs. Such a wonderful time!

Don’t question it - this is an absolute must! - I celebrated my birthday with this experience, and I can't imagine a better way to welcome a new year around the sun than on a hot air balloon flying over the pyramids of Teotihuacan. From the pickup service to the check-in and boarding process, and even getting breakfast afterwards, every detail was perfect. It's a memory I'll cherish forever! This is an absolute must if you're visiting Teotihuacan and Mexico City!

Wonderful way to see the pyramids - Incredible experience and amazing views! The whole thing was super well organized, felt very safe, super professional staff. We chose to do the extra 3 hours ground visit without a tour guide (guides were available for just under 600MXN, which we declined, they were not pushy at all). Glad we did the ground visit as you don't really learn anything about the pyramids during the balloon ride. Walked around, ate at the La Gruta cave restaurant and back just in time for ride back home. Highly recommend this experience.
