Maria_R, Aug 2026

Book it!!

We had such an amazing time on our Xochimilco boat ride! The atmosphere was so much fun, the Palomas and margaritas were absolutely delicious and the entire experience was even better because of our incredible host. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and made sure we had the best time. I will add in that the people you have on your boat also contribute to the fun ! If you have boring people sit with you then expect a more calm boat ride lol. We laughed, drank, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and made such great memories. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mexico City! Definitely a must do ! Also loved how attentive they were. We felt safe and a few potty breaks. 10/10 experience, I wish remembered our host name. He was great

We booked this tour for my birthday and the experience was truly unforgettable! Communication and instructions were extremely clear, everyone was so friendly, and the sights were amazing. Our captain, Fernando, was so kind and knowledgeable and we felt super comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the live music was a beautiful addition to our morning. I would definitely recommend this experience to anybody in Mexico City!

Fun time. 10/10

Full-Day Tour Exploring the Waters of Tolantongo

Helpful tips

Eduardo, our tour guide was awesome. Genuinely friendly, very knowledgeable and funny. Driver was also happy and friendly. Standouts were the zip line and caves. Zipline was fast but not too fast. So fun...and for only 300 pesos. Do it!!! The waterfalls and caves were beautiful....EVERYTHING was beautiful. My 20 and 21 yr old kids declared it as the best excursion/experience for our Mexico City vacation. Lunch we paid for but Eduardo ordered and got for us. We picnicked by the river. He recommended the stuffed cactus. It was yummy and something different. Tips: if you don't have a swimsuit, they stop at a place and you can buy one (for a reasonable price) Also get/bring water shoes. Cons: breakfast buffet was mid. Fresh fruits were good. Shuttle ride was challenging. Meaning the seats are uncomfortable and ride is bumpy. You can bring extra stuff you think you need cause you can leave it in the shuttle.

An exceptional day that will live long in the memory.

This is a very well organised excursion and certainly worth the 4.30am hotel pickup. After the obligatory weigh-in at the aerodrome, we were given teas and coffees as we stood on the building terrace to witness the still dark, fresh morning air come alive as balloons began inflating in all directions. As the sun rose, these colourful delights lifted verically, righting their baskets and pulling at their fastenings. Excitement growing, we were guided to our balloon where pictures were taken and we climbed into the basket. Our pilot, Antonio, lifted us gracefully into the air and we joined the countless other balloons drifting through the light breeze....and away from the temples of Teotihuacán! Obviously, this trip is entirely wind dependent and i think you would be quite lucky to drift directly over the site. That said, we enjoyed great views of the temple of the sun from a respectable distance. All too soon the pilot was looking for a landing spot and kept us informed of his decison making all along and answering all our questions. An attempt to put down in a fresh crop field was aborted in favour of the crops which led to a special moment as we glided mere metres over the field below before rising up once again to a new and less disruptive landing in a disused patch of land where our recovery team was waiting. We touched down smoothly, were treated to a glass of red sparkling as we toasted the pioneers of balloon adventure. Breakfast was in a cave, which was OK and catered for us vegans. Then a visit to an obsidien outlet, before entry to the amazing Teotihuacán and a guided tour around this immense and highly impressive site. The journey back into CDMX was long due to traffic but this gave us time to view our amazing photos and videos and allow for the varied experiences of the day to settle in. We arrived back at the Angel of Independence around 4pm, exhaused but extremely happy with the day and all the staff and guides of Aerstat.

We had a pretty good...

We had a pretty good experience overall. There's a ton of similar experiences on Viator and I was skeptical about all the five star reviews. I picked this tour based on pick up at the hotel and the itinerary clearly listed. A day or two before the tour, the agency sent us a text to let us know the approximate window to be ready for the pickup. We were the second group out of 5-6 groups to be picked up from the hotel at 4:15am. After the last group was picked up, it took maybe 30-40 minutes to reach the tour agency. Our awesome guide Barbara met us for check in and walk us through the itinerary, and we had some simple coffee and snacks before setting off on a quick drive to the balloon boarding area. The photographer took some photos for us and let us know that there would be a drone taking videos when we were on the balloon. Once all the groups took their photos and we boarded and took off, just in time to see the beautiful sunrise. We cruised around for what feels like 30 minutes or so but it was more than enough to take in the sights. I've always wondered how the balloon gets navigated back to base. Turns out it doesn't. The pilot finds a patch to land and the crew meets us there to pack up the balloon and take the passengers to the next stop. After a quick champagne toast the van took us back to the agency to retrieve our belongings from the locker and purchase any photos that we wanted. Next stop was La Cueva for breakfast and a cultural performance. Breakfast was pretty tasty and they got us out in around 30 minutes. We spent another hour or less at the alcohol tasting and gift shop with a separate guide. The last stop was the pyramids. Our guide had helped purchased tickets for us in advance so we didn't waste any time there. We had around an hour and 15 minutes and they got us back to our hotels by around 1, 1:30 in the afternoon. I gave it 5 stars for the following reasons: The itinerary was clearly listed on the descriptions and we knew what to expect. Everything ran on time and promptly. This was advertised as no-tip and it's completely optional if you want to tip any of the guides or service crew and they provide the same level of great service regardless. The only thing they ask for is a good review if we are happy with the experience. The restaurant is separate from this so do carry some cash to tip the servers and the cultural performers. Even though we were taken to an alcohol tasting and gift shop they don't pressure you to buy anything you don't need. The guide there was very knowledgeable and nice so even though we didn't end up buying anything we still tipped the guide for providing a good experience. Shoutout again to our guide Barbara for providing a great experience!

Wonderful history tour & easy transport!

What a wonderful tour! Laura was a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable about the architecture and history of Teotihuacán. The transportation was super easy! The bus picked us up about 10 minutes late, but it was very obvious when they arrived. The tour provides coffee, a small snack, and water bottles — I recommend grabbing a bite to eat either ahead of the tour or bringing snacks as there is not much time to grab food from vendors outside the ruins. It was quite sunny and warm, so we were glad to have brought sunglasses, hats, and an umbrella. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and clothing, though it’s not a difficult hike, you will be standing/walking for about 3 hours. The tour is very informational, and is an efficient way to see the ruins — I was glad to have someone so knowledgeable walk us through so that I could actually appreciate what we were seeing. There was also moments of free time to explore (and take photos) which we definitely appreciated. Our only regret was that we went to el museo antropológico nacional before, rather than after this tour, since we would’ve had so much more context! Overall, very much worth the cost, and a great experience.

Go on this trip! You won't regret it!

We had an amazing time on our trip and would recommend this to everyone. We did the all-inclusive package. The pick-up from our Airbnb was on time and our driver communicated his plans ahead of time. The balloon portion of the trip was incredible - no one in our party had been in a hot air balloon before and it was more than we could have hoped for. The staff do a great job of making sure you are prepared for the flight and explain everything. You are able to store your belongings in lockers in the office and then you are given a personal photographer who takes photos of everyone that will be going up in your basket, and ours was getting everyone to do fun poses before we got in. Once you get into the basket, away you go! Our pilot was David and he was a pro navigating the balloon around. He did only speak to us in Spanish, and while we aren't fluent, we were able to pick up a majority of what he was pointing out while in the air. The breakfast in the cave was also super cool and the staff there HUSTLE! I've never been in and out so quickly but it was great because we had more to do! They took us to a obsidian/craft location, which was cool, but we did feel like it was just a stop to try and get us to buy souvenirs. Thankfully we weren't there too long before they then took us to our last stop, the tour of the pyramids/temples. Our guide, Diego, and he was an absolute gem! His energy was excellent and he gave us so much information about Teotihuacan, including showing photos of what it would have looked like in it's prime and allowing us to go up the one pyramid. We spent about 2 hours total at Teotihuacan and that was plenty, especially as it was starting to get closer to noon and getting very hot. Once our tour ended, we were taken back to our van and the driver brought us back to the city! I cannot recommend this tour and this company enough - we had so much fun and are so glad we did this!

Very memorable experience - do it if you can

This is a wonderful experience which I would recommend without hesitation. Clear communication around pick-ups and the whole 8/9 hour experience was smooth. Upon arriving at the hot air balloon place it was a smooth operation also and the staff there were brilliant and looked like they were having fun. I had never done a hot air balloon trip before and it was genuinely magical, it felt really peaceful - as I am sure you have seen from photos it's a combination of the pyramids AND the other balloons and the photos if anything do not do it justice - it does look that good if not better. We were left to walk round the site - there were no tours offered - but this was fine. The cave breakfast was delicious - nice range of options. The other people on the trip were lovely and as a solo traveller I felt very included. My only slight gripe and it's more of a - you should be aware - is that there is quite a hard sell to buy photos and videos. That's fine - you gotta make a dollar but you should be ready I think to either stand firm and say no - or go all in and get involved in the drone videos and photos ops. The photos are good but I think the price is per person so if there are a few of you, that's expensive. But - you can say no. Overall brilliant, if you can afford it, do. I also think getting to the pyramids yourself would be a faff from CDMX so nice to have it all done for you.

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
