Our group had a great...
Our group had a great time on this tour. The private car picked us up from our place of stay right on time and with the early pick up, we had no traffic. Our driver was very nice and a safe driver. The hot air balloon ride was amazing! We had a little fog but the minimal winds were perfect our flight up. It was extremely smooth and enjoyable. No issues taking off or landing. Our tour of the Teotihuacan pyramids was also amazing. Our tour guide Rueben was extremely knowledge. He provided so much information on the ancient civilization and answered all of our questions. Absolutely amazing seeing the historical site.

5 Stars. This is what professional service looks like !
TeoTours is a stand up organization. They do their best to provide an enjoyable, scenic and memorable adventure. I went with my girlfriend recently. From the moment I contacted them on Instagram, they were very responsive. After switching to WhatsApp, I asked all of the questions I had and they promptly answered everything in detail. From the moment I booked until the moments after this adventure ended, I feel strongly that they went above and beyond to ensure that we had amazing memories to take home with us. I am so grateful for this hot air balloon adventure, for their stellar service and for the integrity with which they do business! Many heartfelt thanks.

Amazing
Amazing team, they did everything to perfection. Can’t recommend high enough. Made sure we were happy and got us on the first balloon for sunrise.

Worth waking up for!!
Amazing experience :) Such a surreal experience and I can't recommend this more! I know it's early, and I know it can be a task to get to Teotihuacán from the city that early, but you will not regret it!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $4267 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 TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour)?
+
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 TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour) 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 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour)?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does TEOTIHUACAN BALLOON RIDE (Private Transportation & Guided Tour) 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.
