Bucket list experience ✅
Amazing! Everything went smooth, the scenery was out of this world, you get so close to the Sol pyramid that you might want to cry out of emotions! Our pilot was so reassuring and fun! 30 minutes were more than enough! Would probably redo it again!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to know this experience lived up to your bucket list expectations. Seeing the Pyramid of the Sun from above is truly unforgettable, and we're so happy you enjoyed every moment with our pilot. We'd love to welcome you back whenever you visit Mexico again!

It is very early in the...
It is very early in the morning but worth it. Fantastic experience, very friendly staff, thought I was going to be nervous but didn’t feel it at all. It was a bit foggy so we had to wait an extra half an hour before going up. Didn’t see much of the ground but the view of all the other balloons around was a beautiful sight.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear that the experience was worth the early morning and that our team helped you feel comfortable throughout the flight. While the weather delayed the takeoff a little, safety is always our top priority, and we truly appreciate your patience. We're glad you were still able to enjoy the beautiful sight of dozens of balloons filling the sky. We hope to see you again on a clearer morning!

Epic adventure!!
Be there early to get a ride via van from the company. The process ran quite smoothly and was outstanding, I was surprised to see so many other balloons….so cool!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted that everything ran smoothly and that you enjoyed this epic adventure. Watching dozens of balloons take flight together is truly a magical sight. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!

Worth it!
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The rising sun over the pyramids in a hot air balloon creates a memory not soon forgotten. When booking the breakfast be sure to check in with your travel host to ensure you get it. There are a lot of different tourism agencies trying to engage you with different things and I had to do some investigating for me and my fiance to figure out where the breakfast was that we paid for. It was also a bit confusing figuring out who we were cabbing with to the pyramid site after the hot air balloon ride. The tour we ultimately got sold on was worth it and the team we went with were very gracious. The tour was lead by a company started by two brothers who's family has lived in the area for generations. Their niece, Samara, gave a wonderful tour of the grounds. She was full of knowledge and her family was extremely helpful supporting us with finding an affordable ride back to Mexico City when we had not booked that before hand. It would be great if I could have the name of that tour group so that I can leave a review for them as well. They should give out cards! Overall, great experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We're delighted that your balloon flight became such a memorable experience and that you enjoyed the sunrise over Teotihuacan. We also appreciate your comments regarding breakfast and transportation, as they help us identify opportunities to improve the experience for future guests. We're especially happy to hear you enjoyed the guided tour with Samara and her team. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hot Air Balloon Flight over Teotihuacán: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Hot Air Balloon Flight over Teotihuacán cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 over Teotihuacán take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 over Teotihuacán worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 82 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 over Teotihuacán?
+
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 over Teotihuacán suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Flight over Teotihuacán?
+
Around 29 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon Flight over Teotihuacán 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.
