The contact person didn’t message us, didn’t show up… didn’t answer the phone. Just disappointing. No warning, no anything. Booked through Viator
Please do not book with travelife because the provider is a scam and pickup no show and no communication ever
This was supposed to be a special birthday experience for me, and instead it turned into an extremely disappointing morning. I messaged the company on Thursday when I arrived in Mexico to confirm the tour and received no response. I reached out again yesterday, one day before the tour, to make sure everything was still scheduled — again, no response. Despite the lack of communication, we trusted that our confirmed booking would be honoured. We got up extremely early, got completely ready and were outside waiting in the cold from 4:30 AM until 6:00 AM for our scheduled pickup. No one ever showed up. No message. No call. No cancellation. No explanation. Viator Support also attempted to contact the tour operator and received no response. They tried again this morning while we were waiting, and still nothing. This is completely unacceptable. If there was an issue with the tour, the very least the company could have done was communicate that to us. Instead, we lost sleep, stood outside in the cold for over an hour and had a birthday experience we were genuinely excited about completely ruined. I am currently awaiting my refund through Viator. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with this operator. A cancellation with proper communication is one thing; taking a customer’s booking, ignoring repeated attempts to confirm, and then simply not showing up is another.
Terrible experience. I booked the sunrise balloon flight on October 29 and chose the option with my own transportation, but Travelife never told me where to meet them. I texted them several times the day before asking for the meeting point and got zero response. I drove an hour, arrived at 5 AM, and the site has so many balloon companies that finding them was impossible. No one was there for me. I only found out the tour was cancelled when I called Viator myself. Travelife is just a third party, not an actual tour operator. Avoid them and book with a real operator.
Ithamar Answered all our questions. We were picked up at our hotel which made things easier. We enjoyed our excursion. Breakfast in the caves was a nice experience.
Terrible no showed. They never called me or informed me. I had to wait an hour before finding a ride back. But god thing about app they reimbursed me.
Extremely disappointing and completely unprofessional experience with Travelife. I booked their All-Inclusive Hot Air Balloon Tour in Teotihuacán, but the experience never even started. My reservation clearly stated a 5:00 AM meeting time at the Angel of Independence in Mexico City. I arrived at 4:45 AM, 15 minutes early, as any responsible customer would. Nobody showed up. No driver, no guide, no message, no explanation. Absolutely nothing. I had already tried contacting the operator through Viator the previous day without receiving a response. At 5:20 AM, I tried calling and messaging them again through the platform, but nobody answered. I waited until 6:00 AM, a full hour after the scheduled departure, before finally giving up and leaving. Getting up in the middle of the night, arranging transportation, and waiting outside for over an hour for a company that doesn't even bother to communicate with its customers is completely unacceptable. The worst part wasn't just the missed tour, but the complete lack of communication and basic professionalism. This was supposed to be a special experience in Mexico, and Travelife ruined it. I paid $219.80 for an all-inclusive experience and received absolutely nothing. I strongly recommend avoiding Travelife. There are other balloon tour operators in Teotihuacán, and I would not risk wasting your time, money, and vacation with a company that fails to show up and doesn't respond to its customers. One star because zero stars isn't an option.
Cancelled our tour due to overbooking. This ruined part of our trip and we didn’t get to experience something we’ve been looking forward too.
A beautiful experience, worth the money. Everything was solmooth and and very well organized. Highly recommend this trip to everybody. Favorite part of my entire mexico trip.
Are you looking for an all-inclusive plan? I decided to give my vote of confidence and I was surprised since there are many options, in this one I found after the flight, breakfast a tour included to pyramids with an expert guide at no additional cost. I would do it again 100/10 attention
The guide was extremely friendly and the overall experience was smooth. Loved the pyramids and the airballoon. Definitely a recommend!
An unmissable experience, watching the sunrise aboard a balloon flight is incredible. The agency is very reliable, I recommend it 1000/10
The tour guides are super knowledgeable about the history and super attentive. I really enjoyed my experience with them!
We did the balloon flight and had the most amazing experience! Felix organized everything for us and everything was seamless. The view was outstanding and this was a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend!
Incredible experience, highly recommend. Beautiful views and very nice staff as well! Also offer drone videos and photos.
The guides were very welcoming. Me and my friends accidentally went to the wrong location but they were so nice and picked us up. The flight was beautiful!
Experiência péssima, me programei junto com amigos e criamos expectativas para um passeio incrível e tivemos essa péssima experiência da agência não comparecer e ao menos dar satisfação do ocorrido, neste momento a única coisa que espero é ser reembolsado para que as expectativas negativas também não sejam financeiras. Não recomendo! Espero um retorno urgente para que a plataforma VIATOR resolva o problema e tenha mais critérios nos fornecedores cadastrados. LAMENTÁVEL! Aguardo a resolução mais breve possível do reembolso.
No llego! Estuve esperándolo 40 mins y no llegaron. Estaba mi familia y otra familia esperándolo. Y no llegaron. No reserven con ellos.
Wir hatten Flug, Transfer und Frühstück für Freitag, den 06.11.26 gebucht. Dienstag erhalten wir die Stornierung von Viator, Mittwoch von Viator der Betrag abgebucht und mitgeteilt, wie und wann der Ablauf ist. Wir haben zur Sicherheit nochmals von uns aus storniert, da wir uns nicht Ernst genommen fühlten. Warscheinlich wurden mehr Flüge verkauft, als Kapazitäten vorhanden sind und dann funktioniert die Kommunikation zwischen den Veranstaltern nicht. Wir werden beim nächsten Mal direkt bei einem Anbieter vor Ort buchen.
