Our take on the Balloon flight + Breakfast in cave + Pyramids + Pick up CDMX
The pickup at your hotel or Airbnb in Mexico City is between 04:30 and 05:00. At the 06:00 check-in you show ID and you are weighed. The shared flight lasts 45 minutes. The route depends on the wind, and overflying the pyramids is not guaranteed.
Breakfast follows in a natural cave, 60 minutes; the listing names no restaurant. At 10:30 you get 1.5 to 2 hours in the zone on your own; the MX$210 ticket is at your cost.
You are back at your hotel between 13:00 and 14:00. Over 100 kg you pay MX$35 per extra kilo. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 4.9 from 8,223 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
