A fantastic experience, it was amazing! The guides were great and made it seamless and comfortable. The ride itself was incredible, such an amazing experience - do not miss it if you visit Mexico City!
Great time and beautiful views.
Very good experience it was our first time doing this and from picking us up and being very informative on everything made the event very good and easy going
Amazing experience! Everything went smoother than what I expected. If you’re reading this, this is your sign to book this excursion!!
I had such an amazing time and experience with Von Navi! From the beginning everything was so beautiful, the entire experience was well organized, the staff were friendly, professional, and so welcoming.
I had such an amazing experience with Von Navi! 🎈 From start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. The entire experience was well organized, and the staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming.
This was my first time in a hot air balloon and I was a little nervous but the staff made sure we knew everything before we took off. I had so much fun. We left a little later than I wanted because I thought we were going to see the sunrise but the experience was still amazing. There were lots of balloons going so I get why we were leaving a little later. I would definitely do this again. Ivan was our pilot and was great and Jesus was our guide and he was amazing also.
Amazing Experience! Every one was so nice and friendly. We had an issue with the cave bc we got the wrong but they helped us and made us a better experience
The experience itself - flying in a hot air balloon - was good. However most everything in between made this experience quite annoying and disappointing. I read the full listing when I booked but should have re-read the NIGHT before. The driver picked us up promptly at 4:30 am, and we drove about an hour to get to the drop off location. When we arrived at the spot to get put in the hot air balloon, they began taking some pictures of us. I thought, "ooh fun! I didn't realize this was also included" and kept telling my husband how this was an "all inclusive" experience. Once we were done with some photos, we were CRAMMED into the hot air balloon. We could barely move and turn around freely, each side of the basket had 5 people each, so we were just hitting and rubbing strangers. We were also particularly unlucky because we were in the only solid colored balloon in the sky, and our pictures clearly showed that. The balloon ride lasted about 30 minutes, maybe a little more, I didn't keep track but felt pretty short. Once we landed we had a glass of champagne, then everyone drove back to the starting point in a bus. (Everyone buys different packages offered from different companies and they need to go back to their starting point before moving on with any further included parts of the package). We went back to see the photos which is when we were told they were NOT included - great, I cannot say I was very happy about that since they were not up front about it and I had assumed all-inclusive meant exactly that. The plus side is the pictures were good. I wish there were more for the price, or I was better prepared beforehand, but I was surprised by this element. The videos were not good in my opinion - we were crammed in the balloon, I was not fully prepared, and the balloon we were in was the only plain one in the sky. (I know it's so small and trivial - but we were literally the only ones so it was incredibly disappointing, especially in our pictures and videos that they wanted us to pay for). After the sales pitch, we went with our driver back out to the cave breakfast. I will say, the greatest part about the "all inclusive" is having a driver with you at every step. There is a lot of travelling back and forth and Teotihuacan is pretty far (1-2 hours) from the main parts of Mexico City. Make sure to tip your driver. We went to the cave breakfast next, which was much smaller than I anticipated or remembered seeing in some videos and pictures. Maybe there are multiple options, I'm unsure. The breakfast we went to was just 3 options of traditional Mexican style breakfast; enchiladas, chilaquiles, and eggs your way (you only choose one per person), with verde or rojo sauce (green or red sauce). Then a party option for multiple people. This typical Mexican style breakfast for 2 people would MAYBE cost 300-400MXN Pesos max. (Around 20 USD), and even then that is a bit much. I think the breakfast and the cave were honestly nothing special, a bit disappointing, but the highlight of this part was the musical trio. (It's like a mariachi band but it was just 3 people, called a trío romántico). They play some music while everyone gets settled then once everyone has gotten their meal or is almost done eating, they walk around and take requests; they ask you if you want them to sing specifically to you, they have some predetermined options, and they give you a giant sombrero and sing next to your table. Great for pictures, very immersive and fun, but costs 300MXN Pesos - otherwise you can just enjoy as other people book them to sing and wear the hats. After the breakfast you leave with your driver or group or bus to go to Teotihuacan pyramids. We started at a gift shop/mezcal tasting center near the pyramids where they taught us about pulke and mezcal, the obsidian and craft making, etc. Very interesting, and the mezcal/pulke tasting was honestly also good. I wish it wasn't so fast paced and rushed, but the options they provided us to taste were good. Then, they followed us around the gift shop (when we still hadn't even seen the pyramids yet) and tried to convince us to buy things. Of course the artwork is beautiful, and if they can offer to ship it home for you safely, (and I was in the proper tax bracket), I would HIGHLY suggest you purchase an item - or sneak a picture to look it up online (photos are not allowed at all, however). They want to sell these items, so if you are interested be sure to haggle. We wasted a lot of time in the gift shop just appreciating the art because it is truly beautiful, but also because our teacher/guide followed us the entire time and it was quite awkward to leave and not buy anything. I'm sure they earn a decent part of that commission on pieces they sell. We finally walked outside with nothing in hand and ready to go to the pyramids, one other member of our experience had then told us we can pay EXTRA to have him as a tour guide in the pyramids part of this experience. - WHAT. I was shocked that I was being sold another part of what I figured might be a part of the "all inclusive" experience. We decided not to proceed with the tour because we had spent enough money, they were not rude or anything and truly I wish we could have gone forward with his assistance on the tour, but I was honestly pretty upset by this point that this felt like an 8 hour time-share sales pitch, essentially. He left and we went on with our driver to the pyramids, where he kindly reminded us that these tickets were not included in the experience. what. the. f. I honestly couldn't believe it at this point, I looked at the description again and it was there, clear as day at the end, and I remembered reading that part when I originally purchased the tickets maybe a week or two prior. Definitely my fault. I unfortunately did not have enough cash to pay for the tickets for both my husband and I to get in, and by that point we were also quite tired and exhausted (the experience started at 4:30am driving to the hot air balloon area and was around 11:30 pm when we were about to enter the pyramid zone). My driver was nice enough to offer to pay for us and we pay him back but I declined his offer and then we just headed the 2 hours back to our airbnb. I am very disappointed that this experience was basically sales pitch after sales pitch, and I truly wish it was 100% all inclusive like the title eluded. The people were nice, the true part of the experiences were nice, but I felt very misled by the "all inclusive" nomenclature, and sad that we missed out on a huge part of this experience. I would rather pay more for all of these things to automatically be a part of the purchase, rather than spending literally hours hearing people trying to sell additional things to me. Always, always, always haggle, tip your driver, and leave reviews so these companies can hopefully improve for the betterment of the customers.
The experience was great and it’s a must do when coming to visit. The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly.
A hot air balloon ride has been in my bucket list for a long time and I’m so happy I got to do it with this tour. The pick up was easy and punctual, which was so nice. From the tour guides to the staff that helped with the balloon were friendly from the start. I’m bilingual so I had no issues with communication but everyone else seemed to understand each other with English and Spanish translators. The staff also made sure to take photos of me with the balloon and was honestly impressed with how much effort they were putting to make sure they got the perfect shots. The photo I end up posting was from my own phone though. The whole tour ran super smooth and I felt super comfortable the whole time. I’d definitely recommend it to any one who wants to visit the pyramids!
Ahhhh I LOVED everything about this morning!! Such an amazing experience!! I would highly recommend doing this for anyone that can!!
Very great, experience. If your looking to fly high and drink well, this one is for you!
Lots of fun! Very exciting. We got an excellent view of theTeotihuacán pyramids! The pilot and all assistants did a great job!!
This was an Amazing and beautiful experience. All of the guides were extremely welcoming, they created such a fun experience and encouraged everyone to have fun and laugh. The pilot guided us and worked with the wind to ensure we flew right over the pyramids which was astounding. I reccomend maybe visiting the museum of Anthropology days prior to going and you will learn about the culture and the history of Teotihuacan.
Our pilot was wonderful and provided us with a smooth ride. The pickup from our hotel was a bit rushed and we ended up running behind and our coffee and bathroom stop got cut short. But, the ride itself was beautiful.
First time flying hot balloon and I love it
We had such an amazing experience! The hot air balloon ride was absolutely incredible, and the views were breathtaking. The staff was so welcoming and friendly from pickup all the way through drop-off, which made the entire experience even better. We had such a great time and would definitely recommend them!
Truly an amazing experience. Angel and Teresa was the most awesome team to help make this experience seamless safe and comfortable from beginning to final drop off. Super thank you to all that played a role in this .
everything is good， very enjoyable.
Our driver Lewis was on time and took care of use during the entire tour. The hot air balloon ride is the best view of the pyramids. Angel the photographer and drone operator captured the best photos.
Everything was super beautiful. Recommended.
A simply fantastic experience. The hot air balloon ride was unforgettable and the service was excellent from start to finish. The whole team was extremely friendly, attentive, and professional, making us feel always welcome and safe. A special thanks to all the operators involved, who provided an incredible experience. Very good service, I recommend 🙏🏽
Excellent work by the entire Team and especially Captain Paco Martinez! It was definitely worth it. Beautiful way to celebrate my birthday girl!
I LOVED it! Everything was super cool and I hope to do it again soon!
I was worried because it was cheaper than other tours, but I'm glad I could participate! The pickup will be on time, not according to Mexico time. Can you come to the hotel lobby?
A very fun experience that I am happy to have lived with my partner, because it was actually a gift for her and it was also a surprise!! Everything excellent guys, I thank you
The team's service was perfect, totally recommended
Everything was excellent. There are no complaints. Communication, everything on time and in order, and the flight was WONDERFUL. CAPTAINS AND CREW GAVE US FULL ATTENTION THE WHOLE TIME.
Excellent, and the best part is that they accompany you and wait for you for everything.
Very nice professional experiences on the balloon flight, good places for breakfast and a very friendly, respectful and cheerful guide
Very good experience, the service, the staff very friendly, the place clean and I felt safe during the trip
An experience that is very much worth it, I recommend that you rent an ATV because it is a lot of walking; also, the best experience was when we went into the cave.
Very good experience, the price is excellent for what they offer. 100% recommended, the sunrise view was the best.
The driver Jorge Luis Ardon is the best, excellent service thanks to everyone.
