Engaging guide. Visit with tourist trap tendencies
As one of the last day trips in our almost 3 week long vacation to Mexico visiting the English speaking guide Phoncho made an absolutely great “grand finale” of our trip. He was very pleasant and shared his knowledge in a humanistic way. We chose the departure at 10 a.m. including Mexican barbacoa lunch. The slightly touristy place had made a great lunch roasting a lamb in a stone pit-oven and we were watching when the “oven” was opened. When booking the tour, I didn’t choose the option of paying for the food which I though was slightly overpriced. When visiting the site there wasn’t really any other places to eat hence the barbecue is part of the entertainment. And sure, it was. Paying for food insight did not make it cheaper. Actually the very first time visiting Mexico where I felt the cost was a little bit overpriced. But dont miss this tour for any reason it is something we will never forget!

Highly Recommend
Alexa was our guide and Francesco was our driver. Thank you to the both of them for their hard work. Alexa was a fantastic tour guide, and the tour was very well-structured with time for both guided explanations and free exploration of the sites. Alexa led the tour in both Spanish and English the whole time; it was clear from her fluent delivery and use of visuals that she is a well-experienced guide. I learned so much from her about the history of the sites that I would not have learned otherwise. The only suggestions I would have for people thinking to book this tour is to dress in layers—it was quite cold waiting for the hot air balloon in the morning and quite hot by the time we got to the pyramids—and to pack a few snacks. The breakfast buffet is delicious but there is no lunch time built into the tour. Overall, it was a wonderful day!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balloon Flight with Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Balloon Flight with Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $162 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 Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.3 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 with Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 349 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 Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full 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 Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Balloon Flight with Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full day Tour?
+
Around 122 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 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Balloon Flight with Teotihuacan & Guadalupe Shrine Full 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.
