Our take on the Balloon Flight+Grotto brekfast+Pyramids Tour+Transport MexicoCity
The van collects you at your hotel between 04:10 and 04:50, within 5 km of the Ángel de la Independencia. The shared flight leaves after sunrise; the listing gives no flight time. The route depends on the wind, and overflying the pyramids is not guaranteed.
Breakfast at La Gruta follows the flight, 60 minutes. The liquor tasting and craft demonstration take 45 minutes. A certified guide walks you through the zone for 2 hours; the ticket is in on this option.
US$126.23 buys the flight alone, at the field. The round trip with La Gruta, US$202.61, lists 5 hours and no zone walk. Over 100 kg you pay MX$35 per extra kilo. A full refund needs a cancellation 24 hours ahead. Rated 4.9 from 948 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor together.
Know before you go

Yes, on the All Inclusive option, US$230.55: the itinerary puts the entrance ticket in that package only. It is out on the flight-only option, US$126.23, and the round trip with La Gruta, US$202.61. At the gate it costs MX$210 for international visitors, MX$105 with a Mexican ID.
Does the Balloon Flight fly over the pyramids of Teotihuacan?
Not on every flight. The itinerary limits flight above the zone to the weather and the wind direction. Three operators publish the same rule: the balloon follows the wind. Afterwards you see them from the ground, 2 hours inside with a certified guide.
