Brilliant balloon ride with Sky
Perfect day. Everything was so well organized. Bus collection pickup and drop off without a hitch. Sky representative always on hand for any quiet. Check-in simple. Balloon ride everything you could hope for and safe. Lovely breakfast. Plenty of time at the site. I would recommend that Sky include a safety overview before the ride
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to know that everything went smoothly and that you enjoyed the balloon ride and breakfast. Your suggestion about including a safety overview before the flight is greatly appreciated — we’ll make sure to share it with our team to continue improving our service. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience!

Balloon ride was awesome, but artisan market was not
The ballon ride was excellent, well organized, great pilot, and very attentive crew. Spectacular part of the experience. Transport to & from Mexico Vity was also great Before going to the pyramids there was a forced almost 1 hour stop at an artisan market that was unwelcomed and pushy. Our balloon ride was extended (no complaints!), but with the forced stop we only had 1.5 hours at the pyramids which was not nearly enough. So just be aware that if you opt for the transport you may be “ transported” to a market you did not anticipate.
Response from the operator: It’s great to hear the balloon ride was such a highlight for you, and it sounds like the crew and pilot really made the experience special! However, I understand how the unexpected stop at the artisan market could be frustrating, especially with limited time at the pyramids. It’s always good to be aware of these additional stops when planning, so thanks for sharing your feedback – it will definitely help others plan better!

Fun and unforgettable experience.
The hot air balloon ride was an unforgettable experience. The staff was helpful. We’d recommend Viator tours.
Response from the operator: It’s great to hear you had such an unforgettable experience! The staff really can make all the difference, and it sounds like they did just that. Thanks for the recommendation.

10/10 recommend!
This was such a great experience. #1: pick up was smooth and easy. #2: balloon set up felt surreal. So many balloons being inflated or starting take off from the surrounding area. Very photogenic #3 they take professional pics and a a drone video of you that you can choose to purchase at the end. We bought the usb hoping there’s a few we like of ourselves. #4 the balloon ride was serene. You do feel like you’re floating. Not scary at all. #5 didn’t have to worry about breakfast or coffee. It is provided. It was wonderful not to have transportation to and from the pyramids from the city. We also stopped at an artisan shop near the pyramid entrance where I purchased some authentic silver jewelry and obsidian goods. They gave us a presentation on the history/use of the agave plant and local minerals by the indigenous peoples of the area We did opt to have a tour guide when we got to the pyramids for 2000 pesos divided by the number of us (5). Which was well worth it. There isn’t information posted about Teotihuacán so having the guide was ideal. The inclusiveness makes it very worth the price!
Response from the operator: Hi,It sounds like you had an incredible experience! The seamless pickup, the stunning balloon setup, and the serene ride must have been unforgettable. I love how you got to capture the moment with professional photos and a drone video – definitely a great way to preserve those memories. And the added touches like breakfast, coffee, and a guided tour at the pyramids really seem to enhance the whole experience. Sounds like a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and convenience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids cost?
+
Prices start at $2500 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 Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 40 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 Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids?
+
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 Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids?
+
Around 14 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon Flight and Tour of the Majestic Pyramids 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.
