You cannot climb the pyramids any more, so the basket is the best seat left. The 15 below leave from fields beside the site around six, and the real differences are the pickup point in the city, flight length and whether breakfast is in the lava cave.

“Overall, it was a good experience but much could be improved. First, the pick-up in front of the statue at 4:30 in the morning was chaotic with multiple companies there and a crowd of people. We waited 30 minutes only to find out that the van was already there but the driver was not making any effort to identify the customers. If it wasn't for another group of ladies from Colombia on the same tour as us calling We Fly like ten times, we may not have made it to the van. Also, the van had a different company logo on it as well. However, once we made it to…”

“This was a bucket list item that I can mark off. It was spectacular, the entire team of Volare from the check in to dropping us back off was great. There are so many of them that are working for an unbelievable journey, when we landed we didn't even feel a bump, it was so smooth. The pick up at the hotel was prompt, the drop off however took twice as long as the driver drove to the airport first (to drop two passengers) before dropping the majority of folks in town. An hour journey turned into two hours!!! Another item, that was probably my fault, I thought the breakfast…”

“I think we just experienced a lot of bad luck from start to finish, but we were very disappointed with our experience. We booked the balloon flight only option and received communication the day before via WhatsApp (less than 24 hours in advance) about meeting time and location (not a huge problem but a bit annoying for planning). One message said to arrive by 5:20 am, and another said to arrive by 5:40. We arrived early, as they were opening the shop, and they immediately lost power. We were sitting in the dark for nearly an hour before they drove us to the launch spot. We were a group of…”

We were picked up promptly at 5:00 AM from our hotel (Hilton Reforma) and transported to the Al Sol Globos launch site, where we were warmly greeted by the incredible staff. They offered coffee, water, and light refreshments while we waited. The hospitality was top-notch. A photographer came by shortly after to capture some candid pre-flight moments, which was a nice touch. We were then organized into groups and escorted to our assigned hot air balloon. The takeoff was smooth, and the views were absolutely breathtaking—truly a once-in-a-lifetime sight. The landing was…”
