globo aerostático
This was an absolute highlight of our trip! Carlos was so accommodating and made the experience even better. My friend and I loved hanging with him for the day. Met some great couples in our balloon but it felt like a solo experience. A must do!
Response from the operator: We are very grateful that you had a very good time, this makes us want to improve every day and make our travel experiences even better, we are glad to hear that it was an absolute highlight. We'll be thrilled to have the opportunity to serve you again. Thank you very much!

Bucket list balloon ride
The views are incredible! The pyramids and the other hot air balloons in the sky were priceless. The pilot and everyone working with the hot air balloons were very hospitable. This is a must! Put this experience on your bucket list!
Response from the operator: We are very grateful that you get this bucket list in one of our tours, these help us to improve every day and make our travel experience even better, we are glad to hear that it was a pleasant experience and hopefully in the future we will have the opportunity to serve you again. Thank you very much

Impressive experience
A super success to carry out this activity. It is an amazing experience and I highly recommend it. Preferably go to the 5am tour, you will see the sunrise and it is beautiful. The flight itself takes between 30 and 40 min, they have Coffee and cookies before taking off, and on return a toast with sparkling and breakfast is made in a nearby restaurant. An activity that leaves you speechless!
Response from the operator: Estamos muy agradecidos por tus comentarios, estos nos ayudan a mejorar cada día y hacer mejor nuestro trabajo, nos alegra saber que fue una experiencia agradable y esperamos que en el futuro tengamos la oportunidad de atenderte nuevamente. Muchas gracias

False advertising
This is not a private tour as advertised. We could not even stand together in the hot air balloon. We had to pay for the entrance fee which also says that is included. Our driver told us that it is extra money for a guided tour, which the advert states this is included. I wish for the company to contact me for compensation please.
Response from the operator: Hi Jamie We regret the inconvenience and misunderstandings about our tour, unfortunately that day the carrier we sent ran out of battery in the car and lost 20 valuable minutes that caused us to arrive late to the tour, which made when people arrived, people were already up on the globe and there was no way to put you together in the same basket to you. In compensation, what we did was offer you a tour to Teotihuacan for free since as we showed you that day in the voucher, the entrance to the archaeological site and the explanation were not included but by sending a certified guide we could offer to give you this alternative, that was the way we try to relieve your anger that is perfectly clear to us because of the situation they were in. On this we have taken corrective actions and we have clarified even more what it includes and does not include our tour. We apologize again

Fantastic Experience
Really fantastic experience! We were picked up in front of our Airbnb in our own car and driven to the pyramids. The ballooning was about an hour and gave us great views over the complex. Our guide and pilot were both excellent as well.
Response from the operator: We appreciate that you take the trouble to send us your comments and we are happy that your balloon experience in Teotihuacan has been excellent, we will continue working to keep it that way. Thank you very much for choosing our services.

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hot Air Balloon Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Hot Air Balloon Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City cost?
+
Prices start at $3800 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 Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hot Air Balloon Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hot Air Balloon Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City 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 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon Tour in Teotihuacan from Mexico City 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.
