Amazing experience in Mexico

Incredible experience to live. Everything was perfect, from the pickup to the hotel to the hot balloon and the visit of Teotihuacan.
Worth Every Penny!

I did several tours during my time in Mexico. And many were overrated and underwhelming. However, I have nothing but good things to say about this tour. The tour does start early, yes, but it’s worth it to get to the launch site for the hot air balloons to be able to catch the sunrise. It’s cold in the area, but the hot air balloon ride itself was a comfortable temperature. Form the beginning the tour was punctual (the driver, Giovanni was on time, respectful and helpful), and we were able to enjoy each site without feeling rushed. Breakfast AND lunch are included and both provided a good range of options (including some vegetarian options). We had several stops and the guide (Eloy)was really great as well. At one point he even stopped and purchased a traditional dish for us to try. They also give you a lot of great tokens/souvenirs. I think this is def one of the most generous excursions I’ve been on. Yes, it’s on the more expensive side, but what you get out of it makes it truly worth it.
Best way to experience Teotihuacan, loved this tour!!!

Our driver picked us up right on schedule, check in was easy, then we all loaded into the balloons as the sun rose. It was beautiful seeing all the balloons rise together, then flew over the pyramids and flew high and low above the stunning landscape. The landing was gentle, then had a toast with champagne before unloading the basket. Our guide in Teotihuacan was excellent and we also enjoyed the bike tour which included a cave experience, happy hour and obsidian demonstration, and finally a late lunch at a nice place in town. Our driver was waiting at the end already so we never had to wait. Excellent experience!!
Magical and breathtaking

The hot hair ballon ride was simply magical, breathtaking. The organization of the day was also smooth and delivered our expectations. Our Guide Eloy was fantastic, knowledgeable. We love the guided tours or the ruins and then the bike ride allowed us to see the town from a different angle. An overall well balanced tour and we highly recommend it
Fun times was had by all.
