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 :)

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!

5.00It is a very interesting walk, knowing first hand what the books tell you allows you to have a real and current point of view. It generates sensations that you cannot experience documents.
Up up and away!

5.00Great trip with Citllali to do the hot air balloon over the pyramids. Well worth the early start and booking a private tour as it allowed us to get some quality time with her and to find out really interesting stuff without being stuck in a large group. I highly recommend Citllali as a guide!
Best tour in CDMX! A must-do!

5.00AMAZING TOUR!! Gabriela and Paki are both super knowledgeable and very nice, and since we did the private tour they picked us up and dropped us off at our airbnb. We got to ride a hot air balloon, eat breakfast buffet, tour a silver/obsidian artist co-op, tour Teotihuacan, and do a cacao and pulque tasting. 10/10 would recommend!
The best tour in CDMX

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful time riding a hot air balloon (first time flyers!), eating breakfast buffet, touring Teotihuacan, and tasting cacao and pulque. We went with the private tour option, so we had the balloon to ourselves, plus wine afterwards, and private tours of the rest of the activities. Our tour guides were the best! Gabriela and Paci are both super knowledgeable and so nice, and provided translations when needed. 10/10 would recommend!!
Worth it!

5.00A great tour that is really worthwhile. Even if you have to get up early:-) The ride to the Pyramdia worked great, the driver was punctual and friendly. Also the crew around the hot air balloon was super nice and accommodating. For those who do not speak Spanish, there is also an English translation :-).
