Up till this point the experience has been great. The hot air balloon ride with Agustin was awesome. It was chill, beautiful and amazing. The meal a la gruta was delicious and connecting with our group and the environment. Finishing off with the obsidian store was great. We grabbed some meaningful souvenirs for ourselves and our family. Overall the experience was well worth the price and ease of transport from each location was great. Even with a vehicle mishap they figured out a solution to complete the trip as paid for/planned. Im super appreciative of the people we've met along the tour and the expeirence shared with the employers.

It was great! First time on the hot air balloon and it was amazing
We’re thrilled to hear your first hot air balloon experience was amazing. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed such a special moment, and we hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure!
Views were beautiful! Great route around the pyramids. Smooth sail and landing!
The hot air balloon ride was fantastic and the pilot was excellent. We flew over the pyramids which we then visited later. The tour guide at the pyramids was fantastic. His enthusiasm for his subject was infectious and provided a really good window into the past.
