Great!
Our tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Tour of the pyramids
Insane balloon experience followed by the tour of the pyramids. Gabriel was our guide and she was knowledgeable and friendly.
via Tripadvisor
Loved these views of the pyramids!!
Great experience! It’s a hike from the city but definitely worth the early wake up time for the pick up. Bring layers, hats and gloves with you and a sweatshirt/jacket. Also sunscreen! The views are unreal. Not for disabled people or people who can climb in or out of a giant basket.

Pro’s, con’s, and tips
Pros: *The experience was great! *The staff were very organized and attentive. Cons: *They really pack you into this hot air balloons. For the price paid, they could have removed 1/3 of the people to make it more comfortable for everyone. *The breakfast was not great. Bring your own snacks. *I wish more complete archeological information would have been provided on the walking tour. I had to google a lot of it after returning to the hotel, as I got a quasi-fragmented explanation. Tips: *I was glad that I wore a sweater vs my pullover. It’s cold in the morning. *Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat. The walking tour of the ruins is 3-hours on foot and your neck will get sunburnt. Be the first to “get in” the hot air balloon so you get a spot that isn’t shoved in the back my the pilot (or whatever that guy is called). *Don't buy anything on the walking tour. It’s a huge tourist trap that’s 5x the price at the local markets.

An easy, thorough tour without many frills.
Smooth pickup, easy transfer to the balloon ride, which was great without issues. Breakfast was buffet style and surprisingly good. Tour guide was fantastic, very passionate and knowledgeable.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balloon flight with or without Teotihuacan half day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Balloon flight with or without Teotihuacan half day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2597 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 with or without Teotihuacan half day tour 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 with or without Teotihuacan half day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 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 with or without Teotihuacan half day tour?
+
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 with or without Teotihuacan half day tour 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 with or without Teotihuacan half day tour?
+
Around 5 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 with or without Teotihuacan half day tour 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.
