Float over Teotihuacan at sunrise, then enjoy cave breakfast, mezcal tasting, and a guided pyramid visit from Mexico City.

“It's an early morning, but totally worth it. They picked us up and my rental, gave us coffee and snacks and took lots of pictures before our flight. The pictures were available for sale but the staff didn't pressure us to buy. The hot air balloon ride over the pyramids was breathtaking and our operator was fun friendly and professional. We even toasted after landing. Breakfast in the cave was a bit loud, but the food was delicious, and the live drumming and dancing were fun to experience. Between breakfast and touring Teotihuacan, we briefly toured the rest of the cave and went to the tasting which was fun and…”

Review of a Teotihuacan balloon flight from Mexico City with cave breakfast, hotel pickup, mezcal tasting, and pyramid time.

“The hot air balloon ride was an unforgettable experience! Although my youngest son, who is nearly 3, wasn’t able to ride (which I completely understand), they did offer a partial refund for him but, I never received it. The breakfast was tasty, though it did feel a bit rushed. The pyramids themselves were spectacular, and our tour guide and driver were incredibly helpful throughout the day.”

Review of Teotihuacan’s hot-air-balloon flight, cave breakfast, artisan stop, pyramid visit, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“The balloon ride alone was incredible. However, it was an even more amazing experience when you add the tour of the archeological site along with it. We were fortunate to have our balloon ride over the ruins which were breathtaking. Quite a spectacular experience. One of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City.”

“We got picked up at our hotel in the Polanco area at 4:40am and were in a hot air balloon and aloft by 7am. The experience was amazing, breathtaking and wonderful. Breakfast in a cave and then walking around the 2 sun and moon temples in Teotihuacan was also a great experience. The only thing we would have liked more was some tour guidance by our host.”

“It was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Pablo, our driver, picked us up right from the hotel, and the entire team was wonderful. The hot air balloon ride is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the cave which was a small beautiful space with native music and dancers, and Diego was an outstanding guide who clearly loves what he does and shared a fascinating history about the temples. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to do something unique and out of the box—an unforgettable adventure. If you’d like, I can make it shorter for Google reviews, more emotional, or more…”

“We had an amazing time with our tour guides, Alan! This tour is probably the best for time/money value: no time is wasted and money is well spent. Alan was also a great guide, who takes his job very much at heart and is truly passionate about Mexican culture. 100% recommend.”
