Real experiences from real travelers
The most magical morning of my life. Seeing the pyramids from above as the sun rose was spiritual. Our pilot was incredibly skilled.
Todo fue perfecto desde la recogida en el hotel hasta el desayuno en la cueva. Muy profesional y seguro.
We booked a private flight and it was worth every penny. The sparkling wine toast at the end was such a lovely touch.
The pickup was on time and the flight was smooth. The cave breakfast was very unique, though the buffet was a bit crowded.
You don't realize how big the Sun Pyramid is until you are right above it. A must-do when visiting Mexico City.
I was a bit nervous about heights, but the pilot made me feel very safe. The takeoff and landing were surprisingly gentle.
The colors of the balloons against the morning sky are beautiful. Excellent photos and a great breakfast afterward.
Seamless booking through the site. The communication was excellent and the flight itself was the highlight of our trip.
