Just absolutely breathtaking and then the experience keeps going. This is so thoroughly enjoyable at such an incredible price. If you’re on the fence you need to book. You will have absolutely no regrets. This should be on everyone’s bucket list. Wear layers, enjoy your time!

This was an amazing experience - the hot air balloon ride above the pyramids was the highlight of my trip to Mexico City and the surrounding area. I was picked up in a van with maybe 10 or so other passengers (fairly on time, only a few minutes late but they give you a buffer). You register and wait for the other loads of people to arrive. They begin to divvy us into balloons (1 flight instructor and up to 16 people in a balloon - 4 people per divided quadrant). The ride is absolutely amazing and lasts maybe 45 minutes? I went in mid January so it was really cold on the ground but it's not so bad in the sky due to the fire/heat propelling us. We land, have a champagne toast, and are transported back to the beginning to breakfast. I opted for the add-on to explore the pyramids on foot. No regrets doing that, but I wouldn't opt for it again. The views from above are that much better. I liked the museum on the park grounds, but you cannot climb/touch the pyramids. I got back around 230pm.

This was an amazing experience! Everything from pickup from CDMX to breakfast, the balloon ride and the tour afterwards went very seamlessly. I highly recommend going with the guided tour in the archaeological zone after the balloon ride, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun, and all transportation was included. It was definitely much better than if we had tried to explore on our own.
