Hot Air Balloon - do it!
We were the first pickup from the Condesa area at 3:50 am. It is a long day, but so worth it. The May early morning was chilly but warmed up as we were in balloon. Small keyed lockers were available. No bags allowed on balloon. We had the same driver for the full day.

Ballon flight was fantastic but tour needs improvement
Balloon flight was definitely worth it and a fantastic way to see the pyramids. Also enjoyed the 1hr walk around the pyramid site with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Throughout the day everyone was very friendly and trying their best. The tour could be significantly improved however. It was a long day, around 11 hours which was significantly more than the 7-8 hours indicated in the description (it would have been good to know this). A lot of that time is waiting around at various check in points, and being bussed around different bits and there was very little cohesion to the tour. The buffet breakfast was also very disappointing and probably the worst part of the day. In hindsight we would have booked the balloon experience separately and then just booked some private transportation for the day.

Must see experience!
We had an incredible trip, thanks in large part to our fantastic advisor, Adi! She was a treasure trove of knowledge, making the trip truly unforgettable. Her kindness, patience, and warm demeanor made her a joy to be around.
Response from the operator: Hello, we hope you are doing well. The truth is, we always aim for the people who visit us to leave with a good memory of our places as well as of our team. We hope you took away a very beautiful memory of what this tour is.

Hard working balloon crew and magical moments
This was a great experience. A very early start is required to beat traffic and be in the sky at sunrise. Our balloon was one of the first in the air and we were airborne for over 42 minutes. The views were amazing and the staff worked hard as a team to make it happen.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear your balloon ride was fantastic. It's also great to know the staff worked as a team to ensure everything went smoothly!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City cost?
+
Prices start at $2700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 205 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City?
+
Around 72 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Balloon Flight and Tour in Teotihuacán from Mexico City start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
