2 Balloon Trips with a Meal Worldwide Worth Flying For

1.Hot air balloon from CDMX and Restaurant la Gruta (ORIGINAL)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 154 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $250Our pick

Leave Mexico City before dawn for a shared 45-minute balloon flight above Teotihuacan. After landing, visit La Gruta for breakfast at your own cost, then spend about an hour at the archaeological zone. Paseos Olmedo provides round transport, with guides such as David, Ivan, Hermes, and Mizael named in guest feedback.

“This tour is worth every penny, and exceeded our expectations! The team was great, Ivan (guide) was incredibly knowledgeable about the pyramids. Breakfast was hosted in a beautiful room with traditional food and lovely decorations. Apart from the balloon, a highlight for us was the Alovera tour, including the tastings. Super passionate guide! They even met us a day after the tour because we left some things in the car. Only feedback point is we felt rushed occasionally. We understand there is a schedule but this affected the experience a bit.”
