    Tour 100% Private and amazing! The favorite of our trip to Mexico City!

    Incredible tour, great service and David was super attentive. Tour 100% private, only our family (we were in 04 people) both in the ground transport to the balloon, and in the balloon we only fly with the pilot. One of the favorite moments of our trip to Mexico City!

    MAGIC

    Incredible views, perfect organization, a great moment full of emotions. I can't think of any other more spectacular way to get to know Teotihuacan

    Response from the operator: Dear Costumer Thank you so much for the comment and I am happy to read that you had a pleasant tour. Thank you for choosing to travel with Interliv Travel. Warm regards from Abigail Alva

    Not worth it. They don’t care about your experience.

    I paid for a private ballon that costs me $800. Originally, my appointment was for 5am pickup and then the night before they said 6:15am pickup. I did not think anything of it. By the time I got to the launch location, it was only my ballon and one other ballon. The photogenic scene was not there. In the pictures you see dozens of ballon’s making the backdrop beautiful and a perfect photo opportunity. For $800, I got a private ballon, a later pickup and no scene of dozens of hot air balloons in the background. When I reached out to the host about a few things, he always read it, and never responded unless I asked him again 2 days later. I was inquiring about the dinner and he didn’t respond until a few days later. Same thing when I asked about the driver. Lastly, when I asked about the backdrop scene, he never responded. I feel ripped off and the balloon ride was not worth it. I lost out on $800. Never again. The proper thing would have been to inform me since I’m paying $800, that they would need to put me in the later slot for launch which will cause me to be up there alone and not offer me the scene of dozens of other hot air balloons. But they didn’t care. They just want the money.

    An unforgettable day!

    I proposed to my girlfriend during the balloon flight and the service around it was amazing! The came up with extra suggestions including a sign, rosses and champagne breakfast with mariachi band for the flight. Our driver Luis for the day was very friendly and helpful. The balloon pilot was very skilled and was an awesome guide! Seeing the temples from up above was really romantic and beautiful. All in all this made the day extra unforgettable. Can definitely recommend their service and would definitely recommend this trip!

    Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

    How much does Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride cost?

    +

    Prices start at $444 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 Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride 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 Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 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 Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride?

    +

    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 Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride?

    +

    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 Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride 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 Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). 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.

    What is included in Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride?

    +

    Included: Pickup and drop-off from/to your hotel or meeting point; Professional and bilingual guide; and Flight with a hot air balloon (one hour aprox). Not included: Food (Unless specified); Beverages (unless specified); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 154 listed pickup locations in and around Mexico City. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Tour: Teotihuacan Pyramids Hot Air Balloon Ride if the weather is bad?

    +
