Real experiences from real travelers
Booking through this platform was seamless. The sunrise tour allowed us to see the pyramids before the heat became unbearable. Our guide, Carlos, was a fountain of knowledge!
The hot air balloon flight over the pyramids was the highlight of my trip. The pilots were professional, and the sparkling wine toast at the end was a lovely touch.
We did the tour that included the Basilica of Guadalupe. It was a long day, about 9 hours, but we saw so much. The bus was comfortable and the logistics were perfect.
If you have the budget, go for the private tour. We avoided all the crowds and were back in Mexico City by 1 PM for lunch. Roger was an amazing guide.
The depth of information provided by the certified guide was impressive. You really need a guide to understand that this wasn't just a pile of rocks, but a living city.
The transport from our meeting point in Reforma was on time. The pyramids are breathtaking. Wear a hat and lots of sunscreen!
Very easy to book and the confirmation was instant. The lunch included in our package was actually quite good, which was a pleasant surprise.
Watching the sun come up over the Pyramid of the Moon is something I will never forget. The colors were incredible. Highly recommend the early start!
Everything you need to know for your journey
Teotihuacán is located approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles) northeast of Mexico City, which typically takes 1 to 1.5 hours to drive depending on traffic.
As of current regulations, climbing to the very top of the Sun and Moon pyramids is restricted to preserve the structures, but you can still explore the massive plaza, the Avenue of the Dead, and many smaller temples.
The best time to visit is early morning (between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM) to avoid the midday heat and the largest crowds. Weekdays are generally less busy than Sundays.
Tour prices vary significantly. Group tours start as low as $26-$45, while private tours usually range from $120 to $150. Hot air balloon flights typically cost between $150 and $180 per person.
Many full-day and premium tours include a traditional Mexican buffet lunch. Check the specific 'What's Included' section of the tour you choose to be sure.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, and light, breathable clothing. The sun is very strong at this altitude, so sunscreen is essential.
Yes, all balloon operators we partner with use AFAC-certified pilots and high-quality equipment. Flights are subject to weather conditions for maximum safety.
A standard guided tour usually lasts between 5 and 6 hours. Combo tours that include other sites like the Basilica of Guadalupe can last up to 9 hours.
Yes, it is a very popular combination. The Basilica is the most visited Catholic pilgrimage site in the Americas and offers a great contrast to the ancient ruins.
