“An enjoyable day. Guide David was great - experienced, knowledgeable, and capable of looking after a large group. The boats were a fun experience. Lunch was good, and Frida Kahlo house visit was great. It was a long day, and an hour longer than expected. The university visit was so-so, with a bit too much free time late in the day.”

5.Teotihuacan Early Access Guided Tour with optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,138 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $39

Expect a group tour, long walking, and a return around midafternoon.

“Everyone was kind and helpful. The bus ride was comfortable. The food after was pretty ok too. Once getting to the site I would ask for your ticket. We decided to use the bathroom at gate 2 and they wouldn’t let us in because we didn’t have the site ticket. So make sure and get that. We had to buy another one to get back in. I would also suggest that starting early at the moon pyramid would make more sense. By the time we got there it was crowded. These are just my ideas but still I enjoyed it.”

Pickup was right on time and the whole process was very organized. They checked us in quickly, took our details, and even offered tea and snacks while we waited. The balloon flight itself was incredible — it was our first time, the weather was perfect, and the views were unreal. The crew seemed very experienced and made us feel safe the entire time. The landing was also smooth and the team helped everyone get out comfortably. After the flight, the souvenir…”

Seamless switch between English and Spanish. If someone asked a question in one language he repeated in the opposite language giving answer in both languages so everyone on tour understood what was happening at all times.

The hot air balloon company they work with is excellent — we were among the first up in the air and the last to land, with a long and beautiful flight. Our pilot (Jonathan, I believe) was great, and we truly enjoyed the best views while flying. The tour also includes a guided visit on the ground at Teotihuacan, which was another highlight of the journey. Really worth doing, and I highly recommend this provider.”
