5.00This was very fun and worth it! Surprised that theres not much tourist-trappy stuff throughout the process. I got the all inclusive so everything went very smoothly. Kinda wish the breakfast could taste better tho. BIG shoutout to the tour guide for teotihuacan, Ivan !! Super knowledgable, enthusiastic guide. 10/10.
Experience Mexico City from a balloon at sunrise, have an incredible breakfast experience and pyramid tour.

5.00The all inclusive experience is not one to be missed. The entire day was seamless and we had the best tour guide at the pyramids. His name was Diego and he was so friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating to everyone in the group. The wait for food at the cave can be a little long, but completely understandable for how many people were in the restaurant. Our hot air balloon pilot was great and made sure everyone got a great view of the temples. If you do one excursion while in Mexico City, make it this one.
Well organized experience!
