The balloon ride and cave breakfast were great, and everything was well organized. However, we weren't told in advance about the mezcal demonstration and pyramid stop. Since we weren't interested in those activities, having to wait for the rest of the group was not ideal. Better communication and the option to leave after breakfast would greatly improve the experience.
Amazing experience, I highly recommend, remember there are upsells, but you're not pressured, you can choose.
The tour guide was amazing. Carlos was amazing and very helpful.
An unforgettable experience from start to finish! 🎈✨ Our hot air balloon ride was absolutely amazing, and having Carlos as our pyramid guide made the day even better. He was witty, knowledgeable, and genuinely funny, which made learning about the pyramids so much more interesting and enjoyable. You could tell he really knew his history, but he explained everything in a way that never felt like a boring lecture. 😂 Carlos also had the perfect sense of humor and kept us entertained throughout the tour. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and had such a great time. Highly recommend this experience, and especially Carlos as a guide! He definitely made our day extra memorable. ❤️🎈
Carlos was our guide and he was amazing!! This was the best thing I spent money on. The breakfast in the cave was pretty amazing! It was beautiful and a fantastic experience from start to finish!! :) Highly recommend it!!
