Hermes was our driver during the experience and was fantastic - so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Pick up was seamless, even when we changed hotels last minute. The hot air balloon itself was very professionally run, and a great experience. We had coffee and biscuits on arrival, a 40 min ride with incredible views and then travelled back to the starting point to receive a glass of bubbles and our certificate. This was followed by a transfer to the Teotihuacan Archeological site and delicious breakfast buffet at a nearby restaurant. Thank you to Hermes made the experience so easy for us!

The hot air balloon and Pyramid experience was fantastic! We had a pick up time a little after 430am by Hermes and we were lucky to be the only group with him which seemed almost like a private tour. We arrived at the base camp and enjoyed warm drinks and cookies and watched the crew set up which was nice to see to feel safe knowing the process of unfolding the balloons and laying out the basket. The flight was smooth and the weather was perfect! The landing was gentle. We have many beautiful pictures and memories of the ride as well as the breakfast and pyramid tour. Thank you to our guide Hermes!

Ricardo picked us from the hotel. We went to balloon ride that was fantastic. Happy company crew was excellent. Buffet breakfast had great choice of food and pyramids are very interesting. Yes it was early start 4.45am but we were back by noon. Special thanks to Ricardo for looking after us. Thank you very much.

It is an early morning start but so well worth it! Our guide and the crew that operated our balloon were excellent. In spite of the day being very foggy and cloudy…I would definitely do it again.
You won't regret this experience!

This was the most memorable experience we had during our drip to Mexico City. Pickup & drop off was seamless, and we really loved that Carlos, our driver, took the time to take pictures & create a video of our hot air balloon ride. Thank you so much Carlos! The flight itself was amazing, and we enjoyed the flexibility of touring the pyramids on our own.
Amazing! Do it!!

Wow! This was amazing and I highly highly recommend!! Ricardo was extremely professional and made sure the experience was exceptional from start to finish. He arrived on time and had neck pillows in the car in case we wanted to sleep on the way there. He guided us on where to go and took pictures of us before lift off. Afterwards he took us to a delicious breakfast with made to order quesadillas. And then off to the pyramids we went! He gave clear instructions on what gate to meet him at and even got us water in anticipation for the hot day. The whole experience went smoothly because of Ricardo. Thank you Ricardo for being so kind, professional and making sure we had a great time!

Our guide Jaqueline was nothing but amazing. From the first minute to the last she was very considerate and helpful. The whole experience was fantastic and the Ballon ride breath taking. I would very much recommend this tour and guide. Jaqueline even went out of her way to return my glasses the next day after I had left them in her car.
Perfect experience!

Etienne was fantastic! Arrived at our hotel on time in a comfortable van. He guided us through the process and was right there to take us to breakfast, to the temples and then back to our hotel. He made it all so easy.
An Exceptional Experience

We chose this tour because we wanted to see the pyramids in a balloon, have a meal but not in the cave, and have time on our own to explore the historic site. It was a perfect choice. Our driver Carlos made the day easy and wonderful! He picked us up early in the van, and was always in close communication by whatsapp. Breakfast was a traditional aztec meal and quite delicious. The flight was amazing. Carlos drove us to the pyramid gate and then picked us up at the other end to drive us back to CDMX. Highly recommend this tour!
Amazing views and experience
