Horrible company.

Shay_B, Mar 2026

Horrendous company to work with. Did not set any instructions until I reached out and asked the day before the activity. They did not respond until after 9 pm on the night before the 4 am start time. I asked for a refund as I had no pick up address or time and it would be time to sleep to be ready for this experience. They later sent a message and acted like they gave a notice “well in advance” when it literally says 9:17 pm on the night before the tour. And this was after both me and two different Viator agents called this company numerous times. Viator thankfully was able to refund me but take this as your warning, find another vendor to book with. If they can’t handle something as small as letting you know what your pick up time is, I wouldn’t trust them to drive me an hour out the city at 4 am for an 8 hour experience.

This was such an amazing...

HOt Air Balloon Ride & Breakfast

Paula_G, Feb 2026

It was a bucket list activity, really enjoyed the whole experience, watching the set up of the hot air balloons, the ride experience and breakfast in the cave, the food was very tasty.

A scam

safina_h, Jan 2026

I regret booking this experience. Of all my years of traveling, this ranks among the worst. 1. Transportation & communication I requested pickup confirmation and details two nights in advance. I received a vague response only the day before, saying the driver would contact me “at night or in the morning” — despite a 5:00am departure. No one contacted me. I waited in the hotel lobby until a small Toyota Sienna arrived. Passengers were seated in the front and back, forcing my companion and me into the rear seats with virtually no legroom for the nearly hour-long ride. 2. Hidden and changing costs At check-in, the guide informed us that pyramid entry fees had doubled - the listing had not been updated. We were also told — for the first time — that we needed to pay for vehicle parking at the pyramids (150 MXN total / 30 MXN per person). I had brought enough cash based on the listed costs for entry, snacks, and tips; these surprise charges left me barely able to cover basic expenses. 3. Serious safety concerns on the balloon The balloon basket is designed for 16 people (2 per section). They loaded 32 people — 4 per section. In our compartment, we were placed with a larger passenger and were completely unable to move. We were pressed against each other, forced to face a single direction, and two of us missed the sunrise entirely because we could not turn. There was no room to properly follow takeoff or landing safety procedures. This was a blatant disregard for safety. 4. Photographer scam After landing, the “official” photographer — in uniform and introduced by our guide — proceeded to scam guests. Prices varied wildly based on appearance and language ability. They implied we were purchasing printed photos, then switched to AirDrop delivery after payment. A fellow Mexican traveler uncovered that locals were charged 100 MXN for all photos and videos, while we were charged 100 MXN per photo (which later became 200 MXN per photo when cards were introduced). Once the guide became aware that we knew this, the behavior of the staff noticeably changed for the remainder of the trip. 5. Breakfast The included breakfast was not worth it. This is clearly a cash grab — mediocre food marketed purely for the novelty of being “in a cave.” 6. Return trip By midday, in the heat, we were again placed in the same cramped vehicle — this time with no air conditioning — sitting with our legs pressed to our chests. Conclusion This experience involved misinformation, hidden costs, unsafe practices, and discriminatory pricing. I do not recommend this company.

Marvellous!

Magical hot air balloon experience. Professional photos were amazing. Guide was fantastic and our driver Alfonso Martinez got us around promptly and safely.

Amazing hot air balloons experience

Marlene_G, Dec 2025

The morning started very early-our driver arrived promptly and we traveled about an hour outside of the city. The process from arriving to getting on a balloon was about 30 minutes. The balloon ride was spectacular, breakfast was nothing exciting. And the artesanías were nice but a bit of a tourist trap, we spent way too long there. Just as a heads up, even though you don’t want to visit the archeological site, its still part of the trip, so you will still go unless everyone in the car wants to return back to the city. By the time we got to the pyramids, it was very warm. Beautiful site-but after an already long morning, it was hard to enjoy. Returned to the city just before 2pm.

Nice experience.

The company is very professional. Our welcome was very good. The site in hot air balloons and superb. I recommend.

Balloon flight over the Tehotihuacan pyramids

Diego_M, Dec 2025

At first a little dissatisfied by the difficulty of locating the service provider in Mexico . And then the experience is very good, since you are picked up punctually at the hotel, the balloon flight very safe and the other activities very well organized.

Magic experience

Socorro_G, Oct 2025

It was a really fun experience, I loved watching the sunrise be surrounded by balloons in the sky. The very friendly and professional guide was an experience that I will certainly repeat again.
