The trip was everything I excepted and more. The food was amazing and the ambiance was lovely
Wonderful experience from beginning to end! Highly recommend it.
An early morning rewarded with spectacular views over the archeological site near Mexico City. Pickup in the city was right on time, nice hospitality in the lobby while watching the balloons fill up with air. Such a smooth flight with touchdown right in the trailer. Amazing
Really lovely day. The balloon, the breakfast, the cave!
The hot air balloons were awesome, of course! A bit disappointed that our balloon didn’t get too close to the pyramids but still LOVED the experience. Thank you Pilot Carlos!
I had a great experience! It was very well planned
Best experience.. The service was awesome more than expected.. the staffs are so professional.. Our pilot was FERNANDO the real hero of the flight.. hope to see you all soon. Once again thank you so much for making this experience wonderful to us..
Friendly staff, felt like we were in the air first and also for a long time!! Really enjoyed the experience, nice bathrooms, morning reception and afterwords the celebration wine!
Riding a hot air balloon over the pyramids was so peaceful and beautiful. It brought tears of awe into my eyes. The photo shoot beforehand was so fun. Ruth did a great job putting us at ease and getting us wonderful pictures (for an added cost). Breakfast in the cave was delicious and romantic. The pyramids guided tour was very informative and I enjoyed picking up souvenirs at the shop and the liquor tasting. 10/10 would recommend!
It was an unforgettable tour! Many memories and photos. The guides are incredible and everything was well organized
