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 :)
**For people weighing over 100kg an extra of $35MXN per extra kilogram will be paid directly to the balloon company**

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
