    Great Experience!

    We had such an amazing experience! Everyone working was very kind and helpful. The date we originally booked had poor weather conditions & the company easily rescheduled us for the following day. The hot air balloon ride was very memorable & fun! Would definitely recommend this experience.

    Beautiful Views!

    The hot air balloon ride was so relaxing! After some storms earlier in the week we were so lucky the wind was on our side and we got a perfect view of the pyramids. Our captain was extremely skilled and our landing was gentle. Our hosts were also very sweet and attentive. I’d recommend for a solo trip for sure!

    Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX.: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

    How much does Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 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 + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX. take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8,115 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX.?

    +

    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 + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX.?

    +

    Around 2,840 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX. 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 Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). 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.

    What is included in Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX.?

    +

    Included: Cultural explanation about obsidian, maguey, liquor tasting (if the full tour is selected); Shared hot air balloon flight; Round trip transportation (Only if this option is selected); Tea and coffee; and Bottled water. Not included: If your weight is greater than 100 kg or 220 lb you will pay $35 MXN per extra kilo; Photo and video packages; Access to the Teotihuacan Archaeological Zone; and Certified guide to learning about history.

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX. wheelchair or stroller accessible?
