5.0010000/10 recommend this tour. Pakit was such an amazing tour guide and host. He is very knowledgeable about the city and made us feel welcome. Him along with every single other person at Frida tours helped make our proposal a day I will never forget. They were so helpful with the planning and communication between all parties involved!! We will be back and book with Frida tours again!

5.00Pakit was an incredible guide, from the early morning pickup to his extensive knowledge about Mexico City and all of the history in the surrounding area. He was so generous and attentive to us all day long as we went to the Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloons (highly recommend the sunrise tour, it was stunningly beautiful), the pyramids, and the cocoa tasing experience. We cannot thank him enough for making our first Mexico City experience so unforgettable, we will absolutely be back!!

5.00Gabby was a lovely guide. She navigated an unexpected traffic jam ably and got us to our hot air balloon trip with great effort. The hot air balloon tour was very well run and we enjoyed beautiful views. Gabby shared a lot of facts on Teotihuacan and was flexible with the itinerary. She was very knowledgeable and we had a wonderful discussion on the ride back about Frida Kahlo, Mexico City museums, and other interesting local resources.

5.00A wonderful experience! Our first balloon ride - and it was breathtakingly beautiful! We were picked up by Mitzal and Ana very early to experience the first rays of sunshine in the balloon basket. The two are incredibly warm and we felt comfortable from pick-up to drop-off all around. The airline they work with looks professional, well organized and safe. We were also told some interesting things about ballooning and ballooning by the pilot. The subsequent visit to the Archaeological Sites was very informative. The activities afterwards (an obsidian and silver workshop as well as a farm for cocoa and pulque processing) were also interesting. Here it is emphasized that you can buy something but you don't have to. Recommendation: the chocolate is very worthwhile. All in all a wonderful day for which it was very worth getting up early. Muchas Gracias!
Wonderful tour with super friendly guides

5.00Super individual and personal tour! We were picked up privately at 4:45 by Miztil & Ana and taken to the hot air balloon and waited for us there. It was all super organized. Afterwards we had a buffet breakfast together. Freshly strengthened we then ran with Ana over teothihuacan and she explained a lot to us. After that we were allowed to try cacao and pulque (agaven honey). All in all really a great, private tour that I can heartily recommend.
Excellent activities all in one great tour! Gabriela is highly recommended!

5.00Our guide Gabriela was fantastic! Her knowledge is deep and she was welcoming of all our questions about the history and culture. Our family of 3 really enjoyed the hot air balloon (mom, dad, son (20). It was a gorgeous day and there were so many balloons floating around us, I couldn’t stop smiling. And we floated right over the pyramids. Gorgeous! Our buffet breakfast was very good and we enjoyed the talk about pulque and obsidian. No pressure to buy. The walk around the pyramids was fascinating. Gabriela covered the history, the culture, the food, the religion, the politics and many other aspects of the area. She thoughtfully provided water, gave time for bathroom breaks, and offered advice on other activities we could do while in Mexico City. We would highly recommend this tour.
Teotihuacan Above and Below!

5.00Great experience. We got the private tour with Gabriela, and the group balloon ride. We were treated to a picture perfect morning and breathtaking float over Teotihuacan. We followed that up with a yummy brunch and great walk through Teotihuacan where we saw the pyramids up close and personal — with excellent guiding from Gabriela.
Amazing and Well Planned
