Customer Reviews
We only did the balloon ride, so I can't comment on any of the other packages, but the balloon ride was incredible and very safe! I see lots of recent reviews with concerns about safety, and they're a bit ridiculous...Balloons can touch each other while they lift off, it's perfectly safe. Also, baskets tend to tip a bit upon landing due to the slight breeze, but they very rarely fall over. Regarding safety, our first day was cancelled after we got there due to thick fog. A bit disappointing, but we wouldn't have seen anything and the landing would have been dangerous without visibility so I'm grateful the company made the safe decision to not fly while other companies in the area were taking passengers up just to get the money. We were offered a full refund or the option to reschedule. We rescheduled for the next day and we're glad we did. Truly a beautiful and tranquil experience with views from up high and close to the pyramids, with a safe landing and efficient transportation. They gave us free breakfast for the first cancelled day which was delicious. I've ridden in a few balloons before and our pilot Jorge was the best I've ever had the pleasure to fly with.
10/10 — Highly recommend Sky Balloons. The experience was nothing short of magical—so much so that we booked a second flight the very next day. Both mornings, we flew near the pyramids, and each flight offered something uniquely special. On day one, we flew with our pilot Jorge. There was some cloud cover that morning, which made the flying more technical. It was impressive to watch the level of skill required as Jorge worked the balloon intentionally and precisely to get us directly over the Sun Pyramid. Knowing the conditions required expert handling made the experience even more meaningful. Day two could not have been more different. We flew with Oscar, the owner, on a clear, sunny, absolutely spectacular morning. Visibility was exceptional, and Oscar precisely positioned us so we flew directly over the pyramids with ease. Seeing these ancient structures illuminated by full sunlight from the air was breathtaking and unforgettable. From start to finish, the operation was seamless and well-organized. We were picked up directly from our hotel and transported to the launch site, where check-in was efficient and welcoming. After arrival, there was a relaxed coffee break, followed by a professional photo session with the balloons as they inflated—an excellent way to begin the morning and set the tone for what was to come. The flight itself—gliding over the Sun Pyramid and taking in the vastness of the landscape below—felt surreal and deeply moving. The scale, history, and quiet beauty of the area are best appreciated from the air, and Sky Balloon delivers that perspective flawlessly. After landing, the crew executed an impressively expeditious pack-up. It was immediately clear how well-trained and coordinated the team is. We then returned to the starting point for breakfast, which is absolutely not to be missed. I strongly recommend purchasing the all-inclusive package with breakfast—it completes the experience and is well worth it. A few tips for anyone considering this experience: • Purchase the all-inclusive package with breakfast. • Buy the photo package—you will want these memories professionally captured. • And most importantly, buy the drone footage. We initially declined it but later changed our minds. I contacted the company and was directed to their photography department, but unfortunately never heard back. As a result, we missed out on footage I truly wish we had. Learn from my mistake—purchase it upfront. This is a world-class experience run by a professional, capable team that clearly cares about quality, safety, and guest experience. Highly recommended.
Spectacular from every angle. The communication before, during, and after your reservation and check-in was excellent. The service from all the staff was always friendly and willing to help you with anything you needed. And finally, the experience of seeing the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon from the sky is indescribable. Our pilot, Ivan, has been flying balloons for 19 years; he's a master! The flight lasted more than an hour. There were moments when we were incredibly close to the pyramids and others when we were very high up with amazing views, even though there was quite a bit of fog. Without a doubt, the best way to visit Teotihuacan.
