I don’t like heights but this was a great experience I would definitely do it again!
Great people and experience. Beautiful weather.
It was an amazing experience Great staff
Great experience! Easy pickup and beautiful ride
Worth to get up early and do it, whenever you're in Mexico.
We loved our balloon tour! Everything was very well organized, the sights were beautiful, and they took amazing photos and videos of us. The only suggestion I have is it would be great if the balloon guide could tell us more about the area and the pyramids.
Truly a phenomenal experience. I was a bit scared beforehand due to the heights but it wasn’t bad at all. The view of everything with Teotihuacan and the sunrise were just beyond my wildest dreams. I’d recommend this to anyone and everyone.
Such a lovely experience! The views were amazing!
It was great. We appreciate yall the beautiful pictures that were taken. And also the toast at the end.
Must do when you come to Mexico City! It's an experience you have to try. Highly recommend it. It was so much fun.
