The hot air balloon ride...
The hot air balloon ride was absolutely perfect—beautiful views and an unforgettable experience. However, the breakfast was not worth it and could be improved. Unfortunately, my wallet was lost or stolen inside the tour transportation while we were traveling to Teotihuacán, which was upsetting and disappointing.
Response from the operator: Good morning. Regarding your wallet, as our hosts mentioned at the beginning, it's important that everyone takes care of their belongings. The van has cameras, but they show that you didn't get on the return trip with anything in your hands. Our company operates with a high level of security and trustworthiness. We cannot be held responsible if you lost your wallet on the way from La Vista to the pyramids. We regret that the Mexican food wasn't to your liking due to the spiciness of the dish you chose, but we inform you beforehand what it contains, and you can choose accordingly.

Great Time
What a great experience. We flew over the pyramids in a glorious morning. Cloudy but just a terrific view from above. It was just plain interesting to see the view below and beyond. The tour company Coatlan Experiences was just plain outstanding. The owners and personnel were outstanding hosts and truly did a wonderful job. They accommodated my wife by assisting her into the basket. They were just plain good and truly made it an experience to remember. The coffee and refreshments were excellent. The breakfast was just a breakfast. WE did not go just to have breakfast in a cavern area. Transportation from our hotel was good and on time. Again this was more than a tour it was a happening!!!!!! GREAT JOB and my hat off to the workers and staff. Just incredible.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback; it helps more travelers feel confident and leave happy with our service.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balloon flight / Breakfast in the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Balloon flight / Breakfast in the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids cost?
+
Prices start at $2500 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 the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 263 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Balloon flight / Breakfast in the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids?
+
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 the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Balloon flight / Breakfast in the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids?
+
Around 92 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Balloon flight / Breakfast in the cave / CDMX pick-up + Pyramids 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.
