The best way to enjoy the Teotihuacan pyramids is from the air!!!
You will fly in a hot air balloon designed for small groups & afterwards you'll be given a full guided visit in the archaeological site to discover the secrets behind this mysterious civilization.
Whether you're solo traveling and want to join other travelers, or you want a personalized experience with your family & friends, this tour is perfect for you because you can CHOOSE THE PRIVATE OR GROUP OPTION.
And don't worry because both include transportation, the 45-60 min flight with a certified pilot, breakfast buffet and the entrance to the pyramids. An extra activity is also contemplated in the private tour options :)

Extraordinary - Highly Recommend!!

5.00Gabriela was amazing. Even just leading up to the tour, she was super communicative in answering our many questions. She also of course did an incredible job during the tour. Not only did she provide so much historical and cultural context but also patiently accommodated my family member with disabilities. The cherry on top was the breakfast buffet which was delicious and had many vegetarian options. I can’t recommend this tour/tour group enough. We loved our experience and wouldn’t have been able to go on the hot air balloon ride or visit the pyramids without her commitment to making it happen. Thank you so much Gabriela!

5.00We had a fabulous experience on a private tour. The hot air balloon was magical and the pyramids were amazing. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and brought the history to life for us. We also went to a cacao tasting which was off the beaten track and really interesting. We would definitely recommend!

5.00Excellent departure for Teotihuacan with a very pleasant balloon trip over the pyramids. Breakfast is not extraordinary but accomplished the task. The obsidian market and the tour was very fun and interesting. The visit of the pyramids was pleasant. We finish with an extra lunch in the grotto that is worth it.
Magical and mystical experience

5.00This tour was amazing! It’s the only company I could find that does a truly private tour. It’s also owned and operated by women. Gabriella was a fantastic guide and was so knowledgeable! The hot air balloon ride was a must do. Our pilot, Mon, is one of the few female pilots and she was the absolute best!! I can’t recommend this company enough!

5.00This was an awesome and rewarding experience! Gabriela was very attentive, friendly, and communicative. I proposed to my girlfriend and she was very helpful in making it as secret as possible while explaining the whole process. The hot air balloon experience was very smooth and everyone was very professional. Gabriela has tons of knowledge and made the tour around the pyramids very informative. She went above and beyond so each experience like the cave had an expert. Highly recommend!!
Perfect day in family trip!
