It is an amazing experience. Highly recommend. Our tour guide was awesome and the view is breathtaking.

Departure & Return
Departure Point
- There are pickups available in selected areas of Mexico City, generally near the Angel of Independence. Your driver will contact you the night before your tour to confirm the exact pickup time and location, which may vary depending on sunrise and vehicle logistics. Can't find your hotel? I tried to type the name in the search engine to check availability. If your location is outside the pickup zone, we will coordinate a nearby meeting point. If your location is in an unlisted Airbnb, you can check by message if the location is within the pickup range, which is 4.5km from the Angel on Google Maps route. Passengers who book the All-Inclusive or Flight + Transport packages will be transferred to the Angel of Independence on their return. Passengers who book the Flight Only or Flight + Breakfast packages will end their experience at our facilities in Teotihuacán.
Itinerary
4:10 - 4:50am We will pick you up in your hotel or Airbnb as long as it is 5km around Angel of independence, punctuality is priority considering that various pick ups could be done in the same vehicle. For the 7am soto time, pick up would be breteen 5am and 6: 30 am, this depends on the sunrise that shifts during the year since Mexico eliminated the change of time for summer or winter time.
6:00 - 6:15 am Arrival to take off area, Hot air balloon ride with take off minutes after sunrise, that will let you experience stunning views of the archeological zone from the moment you take off, surrounded by colorful hot air balloons in a privileged take off zone. *Flight above archeological zone is limited by weather conditions that determine the wind direction. This is a shared ballon flight. For the 7am slot you'll be depending on the return of the sunrise hot air ballon ride of the 5am, start would be between 7:30 - 8:00am. We recommend to schedule this flight only if the 5am schedule is full considering that ballloon return may vary depending on the landing spot and other logistics factors. The 7am balloon flight is thought for those who couldn't find flying space in the 5am slot and they are wishing last days in Mexico City or is last opportunity to live experience due to agenda.
After you balloon flight you will be taken to restaurant la Gruta, natural cave restaurant to enjoy breakfast and an amazing view. Remember to take a photo by the entrance with your group. You can have coffee or tea, and you’ll need to choose 1 of the following dishes. Omellette, Chilaquiles with or without meat, we also have vegan option. In case you want a different dish from Menu, plate will have to be paid separately.
After your breakfast you will be taken to enjoy a liquor tasting from the area and a brief demonstration of the craft workshops, considering volcanic rock (obsidian), color in textile crafts

Awesome trip! Well organized. Friendly staff and amazing views. Our captain David was super friendly and explained the process of the globe. Jessie was a tour guide and she was a great guide!
Great experience! Recommended to everyone who wants to visit Mexico City.
I had a great experience with Jessie
Smooth. Pick up very on time. Responsible tour guide.
The ride was very smooth and extremely friendly staff
Amazing experience! Soooo worth it
Itza was incredible!! Super knowledgeable and had excellent English skills. Had a blast and will definitely recommend to future friends
I went with my girlfriend, my sister, and my sister's boyfriend, and we really enjoyed the ride. Our pilot during the balloon flight was Fernando, and he was amazing. He made us feel safe and secure the entire time, was clear in his communication, and taught us a lot about the way balloon flight works.Breakfast in La Gruta restaurant was amazing: tasty, delicious, and an elegant yet very natural place. We loved it. Our tour guide, Itza, was also very punctual, as was our driver, Mario. No complaints at all!
Exciting and truly memorable experience. The company was organised and proficient making it a enjoyable day. Would highly recommend booking through this charter
Lovely trip, well organised and did what it said on the tin. I was reassured by the operators and the photographs taken were first class. Definitely recommend.
Sadly our flight was canceled because of the weather and resulting in safety concerns - which is generally a good thing. The fact I disliked was that the weather was called bad that day and still they didn’t cancel the event in advance and picked everyone up. Resulting in the following problem: They offered us 40% of the paid money back because the flight was canceled but we continue the tour (breakfast, tasting and the tour through Teotihuacán) or drive us back to Mexico City and only charge about 25€ pP and we get the rest of the money back. In their eyes the rest of the tour is the bigger part compared to the actual balloon flight hence they can’t offer any other discount. We discussed it with them but continued anyway because we were already there and couldn’t reschedule bc we left Mexico City the next day. The breakfast in the cave looks really cool, the food is okay - wasn’t really warm but nice setting. The tasting is a complete joke and having it in the tour as a stop is just ridiculous. From beginning to the end it was approximately 4 minutes being optimistic. The guide seemed like he wanted to set a new record for it and rushed trough most of it. There were no facts about the drinks, the story behind it, where it came from, how it’s produced or how it differs to other national drinks. After the tour you are in a small shop where they offer to buy the drinks, obsidian stuff and jewelry. From our feeling it all looks very similar compared to other shops so don’t expect local handcrafted souvenirs. The highlight of the shortened tour was Teotihuacán. Our guide Diego was super nice and you could really feel he loves the story and history about it. The informations he told us differ a bit compared to what scientists say but we still enjoyed it. He really made the day with his personality. When driving everyone back to Mexico City they told us there are some demonstrations so they can’t get us to Ángel de la Independencia and need to stop a bit outside. We didn’t see any more traffic then usual the rest of the day and felt like they just chose the easiest way for them - same with the rest of the day. So can we recommend the tour? No not really with what we experienced. There are cheaper tours through Teotihuacán and the rest didn’t exceeded the expectations. The main event is the balloon tour the rest is just some nice extra and you pay that.
Great service and ample time to explore all activities.
Everything was organized well n the hot ballon fly was awesome! The gruta breakfast was nice too. Overall I enjoy the trip.
Great experience and would recommend to anyone to do
Pick up was seamlesss, safety instructions clear and balloon loading was efficient. THE BALLOON TRIP WAS AMAZING! Perfect views, wonderful sunrise experience. The sale pitch to buy photos and video was pretty assertive. The post balloon breakfast was mid in quality but the location is remarkable. The stop at the craft/shopping was annoying. The Teotihuacan temple complex tour was so interesting and our guide was wonderful. It was a real privilege to be in there.
Smooth experience and the views did not disappoint! Also appreciated how customizable the experience was. Would recommend!
great experience! will come back again.
Amazing trip with so many unique experiences. Wouldn’t have known I wanted to do half of the things until doing it. Had so much fun and the guides are very knowledgeable and organized.
Great experience! Guides were very friendly and the balloon flight was amazing
Really enjoyed the balloon flight, David did a great job giving us a Smith ride. Jess explained everything well and was kind.
Very organized, good value for everything you get to do.
Great experience and everyone was super kind!
Amazing and kind staff! It was cloudy when we went, but they did everything they could to ensure we would be up in the air.
Really great and well thought out experience with the best hosts!
Everything is well planned and the staff are kind and very helpful. I picked the flight alone and it was worth it 100%. It was a memorable and great experience
This experience had so many highlights, from an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over the Teotihuacán ruins to a fantastic guided tour of the archaeological site itself. The balloon ride was a truly unique experience and something we'd highly recommend. The views speak for themselves, and the photos really don't need much explanation. Breakfast in the cave was a nice addition to the itinerary, although the food itself was fairly average and not particularly memorable. The real standout, however, was the ruins tour with Ivan. It was genuinely one of the best tours we've ever taken, packed with historical information delivered in an engaging, entertaining, and easy-to-follow way. Ivan brought the history to life and made the visit so much more meaningful. We'd highly recommend this experience, especially for the balloon ride and the outstanding tour with Ivan.
Jeese was amazing! Narem was a great pilot. 5 stars for both. So kind and great communication.
The hot air balloon ride was great, as well as the breakfast at the cave and the cultural presentation. We also appreciated the transportation. Everyone was really nice.
Itsa, our (staff/guide) is very friendly. Don’t forget to bring a jacket, it’s can get a bit chilly.
Amazing experience and I’m not a fan of heights but this was worth it. Definitely recommend! Hot air balloon ride was smooth, cave experience was so unique, pyramid excursion with a guide is definitely worth it. Itza and Benjamin were awesome.
Great tour and personnel who were very attentive to all of the people in our tour group.
Great experience! From start to finish, the balloon ride was such an amazing experience. It was such a smooth landing, felt safe. Staff was super friendly and attentive.
Jessica alba was an amazing tour guide!! She made the tour a whole lot more enjoyable through her warm energy and wonderful historical knowledge.
Unfortunately the balloon cancelled for bad weather. With the cancellation, there was a lot of waiting around, but we were treated very well. Breakfast was tasty. The highlight was our tour guide for Teotihuacán. Diego was knowledgeable, funny, amazing to be around and gave a great tour. He made the day a lot better.
The trip was everything I excepted and more. The food was amazing and the ambiance was lovely
Wonderful experience from beginning to end! Highly recommend it.
An early morning rewarded with spectacular views over the archeological site near Mexico City. Pickup in the city was right on time, nice hospitality in the lobby while watching the balloons fill up with air. Such a smooth flight with touchdown right in the trailer. Amazing
Really lovely day. The balloon, the breakfast, the cave!
The hot air balloons were awesome, of course! A bit disappointed that our balloon didn’t get too close to the pyramids but still LOVED the experience. Thank you Pilot Carlos!
I had a great experience! It was very well planned
Best experience.. The service was awesome more than expected.. the staffs are so professional.. Our pilot was FERNANDO the real hero of the flight.. hope to see you all soon. Once again thank you so much for making this experience wonderful to us..
Friendly staff, felt like we were in the air first and also for a long time!! Really enjoyed the experience, nice bathrooms, morning reception and afterwords the celebration wine!
Riding a hot air balloon over the pyramids was so peaceful and beautiful. It brought tears of awe into my eyes. The photo shoot beforehand was so fun. Ruth did a great job putting us at ease and getting us wonderful pictures (for an added cost). Breakfast in the cave was delicious and romantic. The pyramids guided tour was very informative and I enjoyed picking up souvenirs at the shop and the liquor tasting. 10/10 would recommend!
Amazing experience! The whole day has run smoothly and it’s great to visit the cave, mezcal and pyramids. Would recommend for anyone visiting Mexico City!
Súper smooth tour - very good guides and well organised - will recommend!
We absolutely loved our hot air balloon experience! The flight was amazing, and the breakfast and pyramid tour were wonderful as well. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, making it such a smooth and memorable experience. Highly recommend!
This was an overall amazing experience the guides and service is amazing, highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Mexico City!
Amazing! The entire crew made this experience so easy and enjoyable. Felt incredibly safe and taken care of. Beautiful and unforgettable
I went with my friends. The people were so accommodating and nice. I highly recommend booking through here!
