“This was a great tour of the pyramids. We had a good mix of historical information and walking around. This was a nonstop tour which I loved - The entire focus was on the archaeological site. Robert was a great tour guide and answered all the questions from the group. The bus is very comfortable and has a bathroom. I would definitely recommend brining water, layers and toilet paper. When we got to the site, it was 49 degrees Fahrenheit and by the time we left, it was in the 70s. A hat and sunglasses are also necessary as there is little coverage. When we got to the site, the…”

“Balloon was great but we didn’t land near the pyramids. Also booking the breakfast and the transportation is unnecessary given that it’s not that expensive to Uber to and from the location. There’s a lot of transit between the office the airfield the landing area back to the airfield and then back to the office before ever getting to the pyramids. The ride itself was awesome.”

“Amazing location for hot air balloon rides! Being up in the air with 100+ other balloons makes for a more magical experience. We liked that this operator let you arrange your own travel to/from the location and didn't make you include the other unnecessary items like group transportation, a tour of the pyramids, buffet breakfast/lunch, etc. We wanted to just go for the balloon ride. Very communicative, very safe. Ideally, go up as early as you can, closest to sunrise. All in all, about a 60 minute drive there and 75 minute drive back via ubers. After we arrived at the scheduled time, there was coffee while we waited for…”

“We booked this tour and I was really nervous given the large amount of negative reviews but we had a great time! We were given our pick up time the day before and were picked up on time at 4:15am. We picked up another family and made our way to the tour company office. We were given coffee and snacks before heading to the balloons. We got to the balloons and watched them inflate them! It was pretty neat. There is a good amount of waiting around but I think that’s typical as they get everyone set up to go. We got into our balloon and were off. We felt…”

Visit Teotihuacán with a certified English or Spanish-speaking guide, see the Sun and Moon pyramids, taste regional mezcal and tequila, and stop for lunch. The $50.70 group tour includes transport and admission, but pickup delays, cramped vans, and a long shopping stop are important considerations.

“A guide was very good - Susan; she was kind, polite and new many information about the site. driver was driving too fast considering the van condition which was awful; too much time spent for shoping and the restaurant was not good with a min tip of 15%. The meals they served did not match with the descriptions they had in their menu.”
