Amazing experience
Such a good experience. Super organized, well paced, friendly staff, good communication. Diego was a great tour guide and Itsa as well. It was cold on the hot air balloon but hot at the temples so I recommend bringing layers. There are good bathrooms throughout the tour. The food was amazing.

A must do experience

Splurge for the all inclusive tour!
We had a great time celebrating my son’s 21st birthday with the sunrise balloon ride, breakfast in a cave, mescal tasting, and climbing the moon temple. Such a wonderful way to spend the day. The entire team was excellent and the people in our tour group was great. Special thanks to Diego for such an informative tour of Teotihuacan! And to the men who helped land multiple balloons, you were amazing!!! Excellent team work!

Incredible Teotihuacán Adventure
We had an amazing experience overall! We originally booked the full tour for Monday, including the hot-air balloon ride. Unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions, the balloon flight had to be cancelled for safety reasons. The company handled the situation extremely well and gave us the choice of continuing with the rest of the tour, rescheduling, or receiving a refund. We really appreciated how flexible and accommodating they were. We decided to continue with the rest of the tour with our guide, Itza, and had a fantastic time exploring the pyramids at Teotihuacán. Itza was a brilliant guide — she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and great company throughout the day. We also had breakfast at La Gruta, the incredible restaurant inside a cave, which was such a unique experience and a great addition to the tour. Although the balloon ride couldn’t go ahead that day, we decided to reschedule it for the following morning. The company arranged our pick-up for an additional fee, and everything was very well organised from start to finish. We were so happy that we still had the opportunity to experience the balloon ride, and it was definitely worth coming back for! Our pilot, Alex, was amazing and made us feel completely at ease throughout the flight. The views over Teotihuacán were incredible, and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Overall, we were extremely impressed with how the company handled the unexpected weather cancellation and made sure we were still able to enjoy everything we had planned. A huge thank you to Itza and Alex for making the experience so memorable. We would definitely recommend this tour and company to anyone visiting Mexico City!

Great tour
EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. Weather did not permit balloon rides, however reasonable options provided in lieu of complete tour, including continuation of the breakfast and pyramid tour or complete cancellation if desired. Perhaps the next time we consider we will choose to do it on a short vacation during the rainy season. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Our guide ITZA was AMAZING. She's very knowledgeable and engaging. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balloon flight + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour from Mexico City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Balloon flight + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour from Mexico City cost?
+
Prices start at $2049 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 + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour 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 + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour from Mexico City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 630 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 + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour 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 + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour 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 + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour from Mexico City?
+
Around 221 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 + Grotto breakfast + Pyramids tour 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.
