It was a flawless execution end to end. Starting with the messaging right after the booking to the end. There is no push to sell other stuff! Highly recommended

An unforgettable experience with family

An unforgettable experience! The welcome is perfect from start to finish: you are picked up in a comfortable van near your accommodation. Upon arrival, you are offered coffee and cookies. The flight is a unique experience! The staff is professional and reassuring, and photographers are available along with a drone during the flight for HD memories. We took the optional tour of the pyramids after the flight; Alexis was super kind and met all our expectations. We ended with a friendly lunch with our entire group, a family experience that we will never forget. The flight has a price that seems very inexpensive when you see all the people working to make this experience magical. Thank you, Javier!

Wonderful. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing and wonderful experience. The discovery of the pyramids from the balloon is beyond words. I felt very comfortable and secure and could give all my energy and attention to the beautiful landscape and skies around me. I strongly recommend this experience followed by a guided visit of Teotihuacan site.
