It was truly an AMAZING experience\! 🤩 If you’re considering doing this, my advice is simple: **DO IT\! You won’t regret it\!** Contact the captain through TikTok, and from that moment on, everything falls perfectly into place\. From the moment you arrive at the office in Teotihuacán, you realize this is not just another tourist activity; it’s a very personal and special experience\. Once you’re up in the air, the captain makes the entire journey even more incredible\. He explains everything with such passion and knowledge, making you feel comfortable, excited, and completely at ease\. Throughout the flight, he shares fascinating stories about the history and culture of Teotihuacán while reminding us to breathe, appreciate the beauty around us, embrace nature, and, most importantly, enjoy life\! What impressed me the most was how incredibly close he was able to take us to the pyramids\. Seeing these magnificent ancient structures from above is something words simply cannot describe\. **It’s more than a hot air balloon ride; it’s an experience that touches your soul, opens your eyes, and reminds you how beautiful life is\.** Sometimes, we just need to step outside our comfort zone, look at the world from a different perspective, and allow ourselves to be amazed\. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat\! ❤️🎈

It was absolutely amazing! Gabriel was a great captain and we had a fantastic flight! Would 10/10 recommend!
I had an amazing time. Definitely worth it.
Such a wonderful experience! The balloon ride was so peaceful, gliding over the pyramids and fields below. Our guide and the whole team were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend!
The experience with Gabriel was amazing and he is truly knowledgeable and experienced.
Absolutely wonderful experience! Was the highlight of our trip!
Once in a the lifetime experience “Happy Fly/Genesis Fly” has wonderful management and amazing staff! The ride is about 46 minutes long! Everyone here has a wonderful attitude, personality, and really enjoy working and meeting new people! I highly recommend captain Gabriel Ortuńo! He shows you and takes you through a one of a kind of experience! 10/10!!
From start to finish, this was a wonderful bucket-list experience. We were picked up exactly on time at 4:40AM and driven about 1 hour to Happy Fly to check in for the balloon ride. The Happy Fly team made us feel very safe and special. We experienced a 45 minute sunrise balloon ride that was smooth and comfortable with the most beautiful views. Our Captain Gabriel was very skillful, careful, and super nice. He is so precise that he was able to land us on a flat bed trailer attached to a pickup truck. Amazing! After the ride, we all toasted with sparkling wine and received flight diplomas. The cave breakfast was very enjoyable. We then spent about 1 hour walking around the Teotihuacan pyramids (surreal, and remarkable) before heading back to our Airbnb in Roma Norte. We were back home by 1PM. This is a must do experience and we will treasure it always.
The trip was great Erica was amazing and every step of the way was well prepared. Also for the peso value this might be the best event in Mexico.
This experience was wonderful! The transportation, staff and the actual balloon ride were amazing. Totally worth waking up early for this.
This was a great experience. Everyone was polite and professional, and the experience itself was fabulous.
Gabriel, our captain was awesome.
Staff was great, food was great, drinks were great, and best of all the hot air balloon ride was one of the best things I’ve ever experienced.
Great experience, got to see the pyramids. The toast after the flight where they explain the history of hot air balloon flight was a nice touch. Gabriel was a great captain!
Amazing experience. Guides took care of everything.
Great experience. We got picked up from the Hotel and got signed in with coffee and biscuits. Bring some form of ID to sign in (passport or driver's license). The flight was amazing and smoothing and relaxing gorgeous views great Value for everything you get!
Deirdre had a wonderful experience on a Hot Air Balloon flightand ,Andi and our pilot Gabriel were excellent hosts
When I booked, English service was explicitly offered and confirmed. In reality, the entire tour was conducted in Spanish. I asked multiple times to translate, and while there were occasional attempts, they were minimal and largely unhelpful - I missed most of the commentary about the pyramids and had no idea what was being said about timing, locations, or when we'd be returning. I ended up just sticking close to other people in my group to follow along. The balloon experience on its own? Incredible. But everything around it - the cultural context, the history, the logistics - was completely lost on me. If you don't speak Spanish, I'd strongly recommend searching for a company that actually delivers on the English guide they promise. I wish I had.
Amazing experience!! Perfect way to celebrate my 30th birthday! Everyone was soooo kind and fully engaged the entire time. You can tell that they really care about the experience.
From the beginning of the the trip everyone was super helpful and welcoming. Our captain on the air ballon was very knowledgeable and respectful. Definitely a 10/10.
This was my first time here and I am overjoyed! I will definitely come back with my parents and family members. Everyone has been kind and accommodating.
Must do trip in Mexico. Safe, well Managed, timely. Enjoyed the flight. Great guys with great energy Highly recommended
Beautiful scenery, and wonderful staff!
We had contact with someone from the team almost at all time, they confirmed our assistance the day before and mentioned about our pick up time ( they were pretty puntual). Everyone was very nice and professional I would definitely come back since the flight was smooth and delightful.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Happy Fly and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mexico City. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, professional, and stress-free. The small group setting made the experience feel personal and exclusive, and the entire crew was incredibly friendly, attentive, and experienced. Our captain inspired confidence from the moment we met him, explaining everything clearly and making us feel completely safe throughout the flight. Watching the sunrise over the ancient Teotihuacan Pyramids from the balloon was simply magical and unforgettable. The views of the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon from above were breathtaking and something we will remember for the rest of our lives. The ride itself was smooth, peaceful, and surprisingly relaxing. The crew went above and beyond to make everyone feel special, helping with photos, answering questions, and ensuring every detail was taken care of. Their passion and professionalism truly made this experience exceptional. If you’re considering a hot air balloon flight near Mexico City, don’t hesitate to book with Happy Fly. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico and an experience that exceeded all our expectations. Thank you to the entire Happy Fly team for creating memories we’ll cherish forever!
It was a great experience flying over the pyramids in a hot air balloon. Booked directly with the operator for discount, communication was easy and fast, pick-up from Airbnb in the morning was flawless. Highly recommend! 멕시티 오시면 꼭 해보시길 추천합니다~! 에어비앤비에서 바로 픽업 받았고, 열기구 뜰때 사진기사분 같이 가셔서 사진이랑 드론 찍어주시고 나중에 판매하세요ㅎㅎ
Wonderful experience! Friendly staff, ballon ride was smooth and communication for the trip overall was very easy. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience. The ride was peaceful and the landing was smooth. Everyone was very kind!
What a great experience ! Everybody was very friendly and made everybody feel safe !! I will recommend this 100000%
This was the most amazing experience. Our pilot Gabriel Ortuño was the best. Although I was terrified, he made me feel comfortable. I will definitely do this again!!
Originally booked because it was a little bit of a cheaper option, but turned out so much better. Only 5 people on our tour meant that it practically felt like a private tour. They picked us up right from our Airbnb and were very communicative on WhatsApp. We were the only non-native Spanish speakers on the tour, but they went out of their way to make sure that they always had someone translating for us, so we didn’t miss out on anything. The balloon ride was unforgettable. Could have done without the obsidian cultural experience that felt more like a tourist trap than anything else, but we were able to work with them on how much time we spent at the pyramids since it was a small group and we were a little tired. Definitely recommend!
This was a super fun journey, and we had a great time in the air - the captain was super experienced, despite it being his first flight (of the day!!!!!) - definitely recommend booking with Happy Fly, they explain everything very well and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - can't wait to be back, and check it out again :)
Thoroughly enjoyable experience taking the hot air balloon. The flight was really stable and we had a good amount of time in the air. We were also only with a small group which also made the experience enjoyable.
The pilot was knowledgeable, entertaining, and pointed out landmarks along the way, which made the ride even more enjoyable. The entire experience was smooth, relaxing, and surprisingly serene. I highly recommend this hot air balloon ride to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.
The hot air balloon ride was fantastic. Perfect weather and we had an hour in the air. The tour was also very informative of Teotihuacán! Great experience and great photos and videos!
From pickup to the event, everything went smoothly. It was a great experience.
Such a unique experience! We rode with Gabriel from Mexico City to the ballon area, he also happened to be the Captain for the balloon too!! He was so knowledgeable and we had a very educational ride in the car and the ballon!! 100% would boom again! Get Gabriel, he was the best!!
Super amazing experience! Team is amazing, felt super safe and confident with them.
It was awesome experience and first time in Hot air balloon. Gabriel was sach a nice person who was the pilot and gave us wonderful experience of the flight. Must visit place in Mexico.
It was my first time experience of an hot air balloon flight. It was magical ✨ Thanks to our pilot Gabriel Ortuño and his team for a seamless experience.
The experience is very good, worth trying it.
Had a phenomenal experience with Gabriel Ortuno and his crew! Great trip, flight, and overall experience! Would highly recommend!
A truly once in a lifetime experience seeing the ruins of Teotihuacan from high in the sky! Gabrielle was a tremendous pilot, he gave us a super smooth ride and perfect landing. Additionally, he provided a lot of historic context which made the experience even more enriching. I give my highest recommendation to the company Happy Fly and the kind team Gabrielle, Ericka, Andrea, and all staff! Thank you!
Great experience with a very professional team and kind staff
A wonderful experience! Smooth trip from pickup to liftoff and landing. Breathtaking views, an entertaining captain (Gabriel), and a very friendly, magical time!
Was asked for review in exchange for a gift but would have reviewed anyways as I had a great experience. Almost booked with Volare but I’m glad I didn’t. I booked 9pm the night before, Viator said my pick up hotel was outside of the pickup zone despite being in the heart of Roma Norte. Teotihuacan Feliz responded to my WhatsApp inquiry within minutes. Very professional, ensured that I would be picked up at hotel and sent a graphic with driver’s name, picture, car model and plate. Booking with Teotihuacan Feliz felt very intimate, a group of 10 of us went up in the balloon with our pilot Gabriel (Volare had ~10 balloons that took off after us). We weren’t one of the first in the air so the pictures didn’t have the orange sunrise if that’s what you want, but as the first balloons took off just after sunrise you would be hard pressed to find that. They offer a picture/ drone video package. We had a fight time of 47 minutes, which is great as I was told flight time would be 35-45 minutes. Afterwards we had breakfast in the cave which was an even smaller group of 4 plus 2 guides (most of the group had booked another breakfast experience). Was then brought to the tequila/ mezcal tasting at the artesanal market, not for me personally felt like a tourist trap. Opted to skip the pyramids and go straight back to CDMX and was back in Roma Notre before 11am.
Amazing experience, must try
Amazing experience from start to finish! Teotihuacan sunrise balloon flight was absolutely unforgettable. The entire team was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience so fun. Andrea was incredibly helpful throughout everything and made sure we were taken care of. Captain Gabriel did an amazing job and made the balloon ride smooth, safe, and enjoyable. The breakfast afterward in the cave was incredible and such a unique experience. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated that they had lots of veggie options, and everything was delicious. If you’re visiting Mexico City or the Teotihuacan area, I highly recommend this experience. Truly a 5-star memory!
Very fun would do it again. Maybe we could get closer to the pyramids next time, but overall good.
Balloon ride was well organized and unique beautiful experience
