Amazing experience!
Javier our driver was timely and communicated efficiently. He drove safe and it was nice to just have a personal driver for the morning. Ivan our pilot was lively and reassuring! He was charismatic and attentive to all worries. We enjoyed how kind and enthusiastic everyone was! Would book again!

The balloon flight was outstanding but the breakfast was not good at all. I
The balloon flight was awesome. Absolutely loved the flight. The breakfast buffet was very mediocre; pancakes were cold and hard to eat. The food that was in the warmers was just luke warm and not hot. About only item that was good was the fruit. I’d recommend the flight only; the buffet breakfast is not worth the extra cost. Just book the flight.

Do it!
It was beautiful, well worth waking up early! It was breathtaking to fly over the pyramids and seeing the sunrise. Landing was smooth!

Although the balloon...
Although the balloon flight was incredible, the tour itself was chaotically organized. Breakfast was mentioned as part of the tour, but was not provided. Transport to the pyramids was mentioned, but we had to coordinate it directly with our driver, and get permission from the other guests who were in our same car. Our driver was great. The organization of the tour company, less so
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the balloon flight and that the driver provided a good experience. We would like to clarify that the package you selected did not include breakfast or entrance to the archaeological site. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide services that were not part of the original booking. These options are available as add-ons at the time of purchase. That said, our team still assisted in coordinating your visit to the pyramids and ensured that transportation back to Mexico City was arranged. We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving communication about what each package includes.

Amazing hot air balloon ride!
This hot air balloon experience over Teotihuacán was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Mexico City. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized and professional. The entire team made the process seamless—transportation, check-in, and the flight itself all ran smoothly and on time. The pilots were outstanding—clearly very experienced, confident, and attentive. They made everyone feel safe while also keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed. You could tell they take their responsibility seriously, but they also genuinely enjoy what they do, which made the experience even better. Floating over the pyramids at sunrise was absolutely surreal—peaceful, breathtaking, and something I’ll never forget. The views alone are worth it, but the level of professionalism and care from the staff really sets this experience apart. Highly recommend to anyone visiting CDMX—this is 100% worth waking up early for.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balloon flight 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 in Teotihuacán from Mexico City cost?
+
Prices start at $2400 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 in Teotihuacán from Mexico City take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 in Teotihuacán from Mexico City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 790 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 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 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 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Balloon flight in Teotihuacán from Mexico City?
+
Around 277 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Balloon flight 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.
