Amazing
This experience was great we were running late and they still were very pleasant and helpful. I definitely recommend this company for the hot air balloon it’s one of the best ones.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We’re glad you had a great time and that even when running late, our team remained pleasant and helpful. We’re proud you recommend our company as one of the best for hot air balloon flights. We’ll be delighted to welcome you again to share more unique experiences.

Poor experience
Breakfast place is in a cold and dark cave which is a poor choice in winter. Food is bad and wastes precious time after the balloon ride. The mezcal tasting is poor quality and a significant waste of time and is a poorly cloaked way to sell trinkets. You only get ONE HOUR at the pyramids which feels rushed. We could not see the museum there or walk the entire grounds. The English speaking guide we had was a young women who could not answer questions & could only tell you info from the 3-ring binder she was given. The balloons were not blown up when we arrived & we were not in the air for sunrise. We wasted time at the balloon launching sight waiting for them to put us in the balloons in 43 degree Fahrenheit weather.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience in such detail. We’re glad the hot air balloon flight and views were memorable, but we’re truly sorry for the aspects that didn’t meet your expectations: the cave breakfast in winter, the quality of the mezcal tasting, the limited time at the pyramids, and the organization at the launch site. We also take note of your feedback regarding the guide and the communication beforehand. Your comments are very valuable to us, as they help us improve every part of the experience and provide a more complete and satisfying service.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balloon flight + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Balloon flight + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation cost?
+
Prices start at $2499 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 + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 45 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 + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation?
+
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 + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Balloon flight + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation?
+
Around 16 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Balloon flight + Cave breakfast + CDMX transportation 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.
