Surreal experience floating above the pyramids and observing dozens of other balloons. The sky was a magical sceptical from start to finish. The breakfast was delicious and the pyramids were super interesting. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to do a wholistic authentic experience.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the magical views from above, the breakfast, and the pyramids. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Absolutely amazing experience!! The tour ran seamlessly, Itza the guide was extremely kind and professional, fluently navigating between english and Spanish for our bilingual group! The balloon ride was beautiful, and we got awesome photos out of it! If you are a solo traveler, rest assured that the tour is super safe and well organized and the experience is lovely!
Excellent excellent guide, tour, and the service exceeds everything
I absolutely love this experience! The pilot David was very friendly and made me feel very safe. The ride was pleasant, and from A-Z we were well accompanied through our guide Jessie. A must for all tourists!
I highly recommend doing the hot air balloon trip! Fernando was our pilot who did a fabulous job and shared facts. Jessy was an amazing host!
This was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone to do once in their life. The hot air balloon flight was nothing like I've ever done before, such a beautiful sight to see. The crew who managed our balloon and the pilot who flew it were so experienced, professional, and kind. I felt very safe the entire time! And the cave breakfast was priceless. Vibes, food, and staff were all 10/10!!! Such a unique dining experience. If you decide to do this tour package, wait to buy souvenirs until the very end at the pyramids! The souvenirs were half the price compared to the souvenirs at the store they take you to for the alcohol tasting. Pyramids were also very cool, but be prepared to walk and bring water and an umbrella. Overall beautiful experience!
10/10 experience! The flight was great! Everyone was very kind
A unique experience to view the pyramids in Teotihuacan. Our pilot Naren was great and flew us right over the Sun Pyramid! Our guide Jessica was very sweet and clearly explained everything. Would highly recommend :)
Incredible experience from start to finish. Well organized and great team. Air balloon was unbelievable and felt very safe and a smooth ride. A once in a lifetime experience and worth every penny
This was a great experience! I will definitely come back to bring my family! This was the best to trip by far especially in Mexico!
