Ismael was an incredible...

Ismael was an incredible guide and made the trip worth it. The excursion is a lot of fun. We got picked up around 4 am from the center and got back around 2 pm. The hot air balloon ride was the best part. The price of entering the pyramids wasn’t included, so bring 200 mxn with you. The cave was great and there was a show. Definitely bring water with you as it gets hot throughout the day

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that Ismael made your trip memorable and that you enjoyed the hot air balloon ride, the cave, and the show. We appreciate your helpful tips about bringing water and the entrance fee for the pyramids—these details are very useful for future guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon!

10/10 would recommend!

This was a great experience. Picked us up right at our hotel. Everything felt very safe. Ruby was our point guide and she was GREAT! Not only was the hot air balloon an awesome experience but we learned a lot of new things and was transported everywhere we needed to go. Also, for all of my animal lovers… this company looks out for a few of the stray dogs in the neighborhood <3 That went a long way for me. 10/10 would recommend and will recommend to anyone I know who will be traveling to Mexico City!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear everything felt safe, smooth, and well‑organized from hotel pickup to the end of your visit. Ruby will be delighted to know she made your day even better. We’re also happy you enjoyed the balloon ride, learned new things, and appreciated the care we give to the neighborhood dogs. Your 10/10 recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you again.

So much fun! Definitely a...

So much fun! Definitely a little tiring but definitely worth it. The only downside is that you need to rely on winds to get over the pyramids and the winds blew us in the opposite direction

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had so much fun, even if the activity can be a bit tiring. Regarding the flight path, hot air balloons rely entirely on wind direction, and sometimes it’s not possible to fly over the pyramids. We’re glad the experience was still worth it for you, and we’d love to welcome you again.

Poor

The pilot could not land the balloon properly. It landed on its side resulting in many injuries. He did not even apologize. However, the company tried to compensate by offering a free guided tour to the pyramids.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are truly sorry for the landing you described and the injuries that resulted from it. Guest safety is our top priority, and this situation does not reflect the standards we strive to uphold. We also regret that you did not receive an apology at the moment, as proper care and communication are essential. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention; we are reviewing the incident internally to take the necessary measures and ensure this does not happen again. We’re glad the team attempted to compensate, but we understand that nothing replaces a safe and comfortable experience.
