“What an incredible experience. I don’t even know where to start. Everything was so seamless, between pick up to our activities and itinerary, there was always a tour guide with us and telling us what’s next. They have professional photographers who can take pictures of you before and after the ride by the balloon… they ALSO SEND A DRONE up when your balloon takes off to film you and your party (it’s so cool). The basket fits like 16 people and it’s comfortable and stable going up and down. I didn’t even feel it when we were rising. The sunrise, just incredible. Note that you have to plan for a…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,410 reviews · 3 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $166

Rise before dawn for a shared 30 to 60 minute balloon flight over the Teotihuacan Valley with We Fly, then continue to La Cueva for breakfast, artisan tastings, and the pyramids. Pickup from central Mexico City is available, but the flight path depends on wind and may not pass directly over the ruins.

“The tour was amazing and the staff was amazing. We had a unique situation where we had to leave earlier than anticipated, and the staff was solution-driven and very accommodating. They helped me have the experience I wanted for my birthday, another company would have simply stated that they can't make adjustments and I would have lost my money. Thank you all for your help and attention and for making my day special.”

“Hot air-ballooning over these pyramids at sunrise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The hot air balloons don't have doors, so there is some climbing and jumping into the basket involved. It would have also been nice if there were 2 fewer people in each basket, since it felt like we were packed in like sardines in a can. The loss of one star is for the quality of the breakfast buffet, and the long wait once we arrived at the location until we actually got sorted into groups and went off to get on the balloons. The transportation to and from CDMX was timely and comfortable, but some improvements to the…”

“The Ride was really smooth and safe, totally something from my bucket list that I wanted to do for a long time and it was amazing. The staff was very informative all the time about what we were doing in every stop, definitely a recommended experience to live at least once in life. Breakfast was ok, nothing impressive, although I ordered a dessert (extra cost) and it was really good so I guess if you pay separated you could get better food. The pyramids tour was about an hour (majority vote) but for us 1 hr was barely for the first part of the ruins, we didn't even got to…”
