Amazing Tour

We had an amazing hot air balloon experience over Mexico City! The views were absolutely breathtaking and everything was organized from start to finish. A special thank you to our tour guide, Allen, who made the entire day even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and informed throughout the tour. His enthusiasm and attention to detail really stood out. If you’re thinking about booking this experience, I highly recommend it—and if you get Allen as your guide, you’re in great hands!

Beautiful hot air balloon ride, excellent guided tour, this was what I wanted!

I went back and forth a little bit while researching the possible operators for doing a hot air balloon ride in Teotihuacan. I finally settled on booking with Enjoy Experience Mexico because I ended up seeing really good reviews for them on Airbnb, and they did the things that I wanted in a tour! I wanted to be there early enough to catch the sunrise, I wanted to experience eating in La Gruta, and I wanted to get a tour of the pyramids in the archeological area in Teotihuacan, without excessive tourist trap activities around it. That is exactly what I got. The tour was very well run from beginning to end. Pickup was smooth, and the tour guide for the archeological zone (Irvin) was so fun, knowledgeable, and friendly! He was having lots of fun interacting with the hot air balloon ride participants, even before the guided tour. The only note is, you should expect that they'll charge you extra if you want the photos + drone videos they took of you at the end of the experience. This is optional, of course, but this kind of thing always leaves a bad taste with an experience. Just go in expecting that this will be the case :)

Bucket List Worthy: Hot Air Balloon Over Teotihuacan & Breakfast at La Gruta

This tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Although the early pickup was a bit tough, everything that followed made it completely worthwhile. Our driver and guide arrived precisely on time in a very comfortable van, which set the tone for a smooth and well-organized day. When we arrived at the hot air balloon site, we were welcomed with hot coffee and pastries—a thoughtful touch before the main event. The balloon ride itself was truly unforgettable—peaceful, breathtaking, and almost spiritual. The ascent was incredibly smooth, and the views over Teotihuacan were spectacular. Our captain kept things light and fun, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone on board. After a gentle landing, we celebrated with a champagne toast, which was the perfect way to cap off the flight. From there, we headed to breakfast at La Gruta, set inside a stunning volcanic cave. The setting alone is worth the visit, but the food, drinks, and service were equally outstanding. We then had a couple of hours to explore Teotihuacan. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and funny—we learned so much in a short amount of time. There was even time to climb the Pyramid of the Moon, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this  tour—it’s one you’ll remember forever.

Incredible flight, pictures, and experience!

Incredible experience! My girlfriend wanted to go, but I was really nervous about the safety. There were 5 designated safety personnel before and after the flight for our balloon alone. Peaceful ride and our captain was awesome. Morriz is an amazing camera man!!!!
