Reviews
They pick you up early in the morning, drive you to the location and there you can see all the balloons already. Very experienced driver, we had sparkling wine during the trip as well.
Breakfast was good as well!
My main complaint about this experience is that it was not the most efficient use of our time. We waited approximately 20 minutes once we arrived at the site from which the balloon departed before we went to the balloon. Then we had to wait 30 minutes once we landed for the crew to load the balloon onto the truck and trailer to take us back to the original spot. Then we waited around again before going to breakfast at a restaurant, which took a while. So by the time we reached Teotihuacan for a tour of the pyramids, we were already past the time they advertised we would be back at our hotel. And we only had 45 minutes to tour the archeological site before we had to be back and check out of our hotel. But that was 2.5 hours later than the advertised return time.
The other weird part of the experience was that the driver told us our package did not include a guide, and that was made clear on the reservation. But he then said his father could be our guide and would start explaining the ruins to us while we had breakfast. He then got into the van with us to go to the ruins without asking if we wanted to hire him. And he never stated a price. So while we probably would have hired him anyways, it was odd that we didn't really have a choice.
My family speaks pretty good Spanish, but the plan for the morning was never really made clear to us. It would have been helpful if they had given us an overview of the morning, explained who everyone was and how much time we were going to spend at the various activities. While this part was frustrating, I have nothing but rave reviews for the balloon ride itself.
The issue was around the logistics - I could choose between a 5:30 and a 6am pickup time. I selected 6am, only to arrive at 7am to watch dozens of balloons take off, none of them for us. We waited for 2 hours for our balloon to fly, land and drive back before we could board. Only 2 other balloons took off around the same time, so we missed out on the opportunity to fly with dozens of other balloons in the air.
The tour was billed for 3-5 hours, but we were gone for 8. We ate breakfast after the balloon ride at 11am and were starving (bring snacks).
When I asked if there was a mistake about having to wait for 2 hours, I was told “ Many people have the idea that they immediately come to board the balloon, and this is not so. The same thing happens at an airport. You arrive even 1 or 2 hours earlier“. So that’s the level of service to expect on this tour.
I wish I had selected the 5:30 pickup and had gone with the initial round of balloons, so I would strongly advise this company to simply get ride of the 6am pickup (or make it a 7:30am pickup so we could at least sleep in!)
