Such an amazing experience! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic day! The road closures in CDMX caused some delays, so they let us have a private balloon. Our guide was amazing and so was breakfast at the local restaurant!
Very good! can be also dangerous! We had a bad landing due to wind and hurt our knees! Luckily no more sincere injuries! Need to have some first aid and baskets not to be overcrowded as we hit to each other while landing!

The balloon ride over the Teotihuacan pyramids was a magical moment. We continued our day with a visit to the pyramids accompanied by an exciting guide. The organization was perfect. Breakfast, too.
Merci infiniment pour votre superbe retour ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que le survol en montgolfière et la visite des pyramides de Teotihuacan ont été des moments magiques pour vous.

Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour d’autres découvertes inoubliables !
The best thing about the whole tour is the balloon trip, it is a beautiful experience worth every peso spent, it is also very good option to buy the package of video and photos

También nos da mucho gusto saber que el paquete de fotos y video fue una buena elección para ustedes, ¡es una forma perfecta de recordar un momento tan especial!

Wonderful to have a Birds Eye view of the pyramids. Very well organised experience, with lovely staff taking care of things. We opted for breakfast at the local restaurant which was part of our package. Very nice breakfast, the owner who also looked after us at the balloon depot gave us the history of the pyramids which was very informative
Great balloon ride experience as well as guided visit to the Teotihuacan pyramids, the balloon ride is incredible, it’s a must do activity while visiting CDMX, and the pyramids archeological site is breathtaking, all the history and wonders of this ancient civilization makes you understand Mexican history, culture and heritage, Ruben is a great experienced guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, we loved this tour, highly recommended!
Beautiful early morning views of the pyramids from the sky. Chilly at 5am, so layer up, because it gets warm by mid morning. Pickup at my hotel was easy and the ride from Polanco was about an hour to the "balloon-port". I was flying solo this trip, so it was just me and the driver in his sedan, and the driver spent the entire day "on call", shuttling me to the balloons, on to the restaurant, to the pyramid parking, and ultimately back to my hotel. He wasn't the guide - that was someone else that I met at the balloon-port who actually guided me through the experience, including the walking tour of the pyramids. Lovely balloon time - about 100 balloons in the air on a Saturday morning, so there was a lot going on, but it was really beautiful and you can't beat a sunrise view from the sky. Great overhead view of the historical site and surrounding land. Breakfast at a local place was simple and tasty (I love chilaquiles). Ended up hanging around waiting after my meal for nearly an hour as the guide for the walking tour was waiting for a few more people to come out from the city to meet up. (This waiting is why I only gave 4 stars). Guide handled tickets for the pyramid park, was knowledgeable, and had talking aids like maps and photographs. We spent a couple of hours walking the pyramids: make sure to wear comfortable shoes and expect a lot of walking on gravel and some steep stairs. I was expecting the end to end to be 5-6 hours, but it was tracking to 8+ hours, so I asked to cut my portion a little short to get back into town. (5a pickup, thought i'd be back by 11a, barely made it back by 1p)
We absolutely love this as it is the best way to sew the Pyramids without spening hours walking, especially for those with mobility challenges. We did learn that the transportation option is probably best as 3 Uber drivers canceled on us as fewer drivers were available that early in the morning. Excellent communication from the tour operators!
Hi John, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review. We are glad to hear that you had such a positive experience with us. We’re also very sorry that you experienced difficulties finding an Uber in the morning. We definitely recommend our transportation service for a stress-free and timely arrival. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure. Best regards
Great overall experience and ended up being just as advertised. Seeing the whole process of how the balloons are set up to fly and then deflated afterwards was very interesting. The views over the pyramids is truly something to be seen. I would give 5 stars (even 4.5), but I purchased the 5 AM excursion, but was told afterwards that there was no transport available and that I’d have to do the 6 AM. My intention was to be onsite for sunrise however luck was on my side and there was a lot of fog for the 5 AM and it burned off by the time my group went up! 😂 Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I got some wonderful photos.
Dear Craig, Thank you for your review and for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the views over the pyramids and the unique perspective of witnessing the balloon setup process. We’d like to clarify regarding the timing adjustment: Due to the high demand during your travel dates, we contacted you after your booking to inform you about the shift to the second flight. And it’s important to mention that the change was not made without your consent. We offered you the option to cancel with a full refund if the new time didn’t work for you. We truly made every effort to accommodate all our clients rather than cancel reservations, as our priority was ensuring that everyone could experience this magical journey. This was indeed a special time for many visitors, and we did our very best to meet everyone’s expectations. We’re grateful for your understanding, and we’re thrilled you captured those memorable photos with clearer skies during your flight. ……We really think that count as a point in our favor 😉 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Regards
Wow, where do I start? The food, the tour, the hot air balloon ride! Everything was impeccable! Ruben was a fantastic host, and I definitely recommend Teotours.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We really appreciate you recommending us and we hope to welcome you again with another experience!
