“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…”

10.Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 38 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $191

Rise before dawn for a shared hot-air-balloon flight over the Teotihuacan Valley, followed by a sparkling-wine toast, breakfast, a craft workshop, and entry to the pyramids. Transport from Mexico City is included, but the archaeological visit has no guide, and weather or traffic can affect the day.

“A terrific day out......transport was on time and confirmed the day before flight. Sky Balloons were professional in their operations, and the flight was serene with spectacular views over the pyramids. Plus a chance to look at everyday life from a different angle. The breakfasst was far better than expected with a full buffet. There was a brief info session on mezcal and textile productions. Admission to the pyramids was included however, there was no guided tour....do it yourself style. There is quite a lot of signage through the area, or you can hire guide independently. Check where pickups are from - generally only downtown hotels. Otherwise you need to…”
