A great day with good weather. - We had perfect weather for our balloon ride (a light breeze heading from Volare directly toward the Pyramid of the Sun), so other trips might not be quite as fortunate. Under those conditions, the balloon ride was absolutely perfect. If you enjoy photography, you can get excellent photos during this experience. We had more than two hours to wander around Teotihuacan after the balloon ride. If you are a senior citizen, or traveling with one, covering the length of the main avenue and returning to the pickup spot may require almost all of that time. The combined excursion easily exceeded our expectations.

Went in mid-December.... - Went in mid-December. Chilly morning, warm but not hot afternoon. Wear layers so you can peel them off. The ballooning is amazing! And everyone there makes every effort possible to make the trip memorable. And it was. Don’t expect a big breakfast after the balloon trip, which is a good thing. Generally I don’t do “touristy” things, but this was just epic and a must-do.

Stunning - Absolutely wonderful experience. We were picked up around 5 am and then headed out to Teotihuacan. The hot air balloon ride lasted about 40 minutes and the pictures we got of the pyramids were just stunning. Absolutely amazing experience and we would definitely do this again.

Great experience - Great experience - everything was perfect from early morning pick-up from our hotel in mexico city to the hot air balloon ride, visit to the pyramids, and the ride back to the hotel. Everyone was very professional - our pilot kept us informed and entertained. We decided to hire a guide at the Pyramids which was well worth it.

Pyramids by air - Nice trip overall and good value for the money. Staff was friendly, professional, and organized. Only downside was customer service communication on in beginning. Customer service agent by name of Giovanni was rude and argumentative when asked basic questions that were not listed in email. He is better suited to balloon ground crew or fired altogether.
