5.00Not a lot of information on the Tripadvisor app but we received a confirmation WhatsApp two hours later that put us at ease, they offered to collect us but we arranged our own transportation to the location that they gave us. Extremely nice staff and very helpful answering and questions. Experience was incredible and an overall smooth operation. Would highly recommend to anyone else.
Will Do Again!!!

5.00Amazing experience! The hot air balloon flight was beautiful at sunrise. The staff were very helpful, polite, and responded quickly when communicating before the trip. Definitely would recommend doing this experience when visiting Mexico city!
This isn’t the La gruta cave but a separate one. Fun experience overall.
