We had our first hot air balloon experience this morning and it was a true once in a lifetime experience. I was nervous leading up to our experience but the entire organization was top notch and professional. Our pilot Antonio was terrific! He was fun, professional and made the experience even that much better. If visiting the Mexico City area I couldn’t recommend this company and experience any more!

A can't miss experience! The Teotihuacán hot air balloon ride was peaceful, felt safe, and offered breathtaking views of the pyramids at sunrise. The staff were friendly and professional. There's coffee and games while you wait and a sparkling wine toast after. Definitely a highlight of our trip!
