A magical balloon ride, breakfast in a very unique restaurant inside a cave, tequila tasting, obsidian history( and a really great selection of art, jewelry, obsidian pieces,etc), and then a guided tour of the temples.

5.00It was absolutely worth waking up at 4am to see Teotihuacan from above as the sun was rising. If you can request a guide at the site, Diego was passionate, charming and an overall delight.
First time hot air balloon experience, beautiful views and peaceful experience!

4.00This was my partner's and my first time in Mexico City, and my friend had recommended to do the hot air balloon experience. I booked a different tour than what she recommended because I wanted to see the pyramids as well since I hadn't been before. Since it's and early morning start, it was a cold morning for us on the first week of Feb. Though we didn't see the pyramids due to the fog, the views were still breathtaking with the clouds, a bit more serene one may say. My favorite was definitely the hot air balloon ride and the pyramid tours, the rest were a nice add since it was the first time but I probably wouldn't do it again. I'd likely book the hot air balloon tour again and spend some time in the pyramids. Thank you!
Smooth and well organized ride,
