Great experience! It’s a hike from the city but definitely worth the early wake up time for the pick up. Bring layers, hats and gloves with you and a sweatshirt/jacket. Also sunscreen! The views are unreal. Not for disabled people or people who can climb in or out of a giant basket.
Pros: *The experience was great! *The staff were very organized and attentive. Cons: *They really pack you into this hot air balloons. For the price paid, they could have removed 1/3 of the people to make it more comfortable for everyone. *The breakfast was not great. Bring your own snacks. *I wish more complete archeological information would have been provided on the walking tour. I had to google a lot of it after returning to the hotel, as I got a quasi-fragmented explanation. Tips: *I was glad that I wore a sweater vs my pullover. It’s cold in the morning. *Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat. The walking tour of the ruins is 3-hours on foot and your neck will get sunburnt. Be the first to “get in” the hot air balloon so you get a spot that isn’t shoved in the back my the pilot (or whatever that guy is called). *Don't buy anything on the walking tour. It’s a huge tourist trap that’s 5x the price at the local markets.
Smooth pickup, easy transfer to the balloon ride, which was great without issues. Breakfast was buffet style and surprisingly good. Tour guide was fantastic, very passionate and knowledgeable.
It my husband's first time in a hot air balloon, and my second time. It was incredible! The organisation was very good, the food and snacks was good, the views were incredible and a wonderful way to see the sites, and music was magical. We also had a guided tour of the site and handcrafts after which was also very educational.
The balloon ride was magical and the guided tour after was so informative!!! Our guide, Eloy, was so knowledgeable and kind. We learned a lot and had a great time!
We had a great time! The balloon ride was magical. We also opted to do the guided tour of the pyramids and were so happy we did! Our guide, Eloy, was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much!
An experience you'll not forget . My second trip doing this . I went with a friend who hadn't so I enjoyed seeing how much she loved it like I did . It's such an incredible thing to do . The views are just breath taking. We landed and all had a toast with a glass of fizz. Then we had breakfast whilst a cool mariachi band played for us. They did requests and they played paloma negra for me . Really moved me as its one of my favourite songs . Then we met our guide who was a really lovely guy . He took us by foot around the pyramids the to some caves . After we went to artists home and tried mezcal tequila and other things and shopped in his obsidian shop . A really lovely day
