Excellent experience
They picked us up at the hotel. It was an amazing experience. Saul , the driver and capitán of the air balloon. The captain explained to us everything about the hot air balloon.

Beware! Tourist Trap
Now that I've really sat and thought about it, beware of this activity. First and foremost, if you're overweight (by their standards), you're forced to pay extra, and I had to demand a receipt in this regard. Secondly, they do these drone photos and videos whilst you're in the air and upon getting back to base, they cost an arm and a leg.... the tour that accompanies the air balloon, the tourist shop is overpriced and then there are these vendors at the pyramids that have these devices that they blow non-stop which are quite annoying.....While being in the air is great, nothing else was! So overall, BEWARE!

10/10 💯 recommend this tour group and the experience!
Such a great and magical experience! It’s been a bucket list item for us and it finally came true. Thank you! Everything went smooth and perfect! They picked us up at our hotel in the morning. Then we went to the launch site. Got into our balloon and floated for about an hour over Teotihuacan. I thought the trip was going to be much shorter but we were pleasantly surprised. The champagne toast at the end was so classy. Spend 3 hours exploring the ruins and then they took us back to our hotel. Oh and forgot the breakfast with the mariachi. Food was great too! Thank you for such an incredible experience!

Highlight of our trip to CDMX
The balloon trip itself was fantastic and the highlight of our trip to Mexico City. Our transportation driver was 15 minutes late picking us up in the morning but we arrived in time for the sunrise flight. The pilot and crew with Voltare were friendly and experienced. Many in our group were afraid of heights but everyone felt 100% comfortable. The basket holds 16 people - 4 in each corner with the pilot in the center. We'd heard it can be cold. On the day of our flight the ground temp was 14*C [57*F] and with a long sleeved top and jean jacket over top no one was cold. After the flight we toasted with sparkling wine. We then headed back for breakfast, which everyone found disappointing. We hired a guide for our trip inside the pyramids. This was an extra cost but well worth it, and included the pyramid entrance fee. Other than breakfast, the only reason this isn't 5 stars is one of our group was too sick to leave the hotel on the day of our experience, and even with a note from a local Dr validating the medical illness, Viator refused to offer a refund - although the tour company told us on the day of that they would refund us.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport cost?
+
Prices start at $249 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 Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 63 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 Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport?
+
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 Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport?
+
Around 22 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Teotihuacan Hot Air Balloon Tour from Mexico City Including Transport 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.
