Traveler reviews
A memorable hot air balloon ride
The experience was great. Very professional. Juan was our pilot and he did an excellent job maneuvering the balloon and ensuring that we had the smoothest ride and an enjoyable time.
Hot air
Good overall. Just they were running late so sun was already up by the time we got in the area. I believe we were the third last balloon to go up.
Birthday in the sky
First the Volare team and Captain Juan were all professional and excellent. I did the Hot Air Balloon and paid additional at the site to add on the pyramids with a tour guide. This was the best birthday adventure ever and Captain Juan was informative, funny and guided us well. I also paid for drone footage and photos because how often does one go up in a balloon viewing the pyramids? The mire you interact with the drone, the better your videos :D. Just make sure you wear good shoes because the basket is high and you do have to climb in and over so make sure your hips and knees are in good order. Bring sunscreen, a hat and water because the pyramids are where you get a workout. I appreciated that we got to go to a local family who works with Obsidian and got a little Mezcal tasting. Nice pick me up after the pyramids. Overall this was an excellent tour and the information was built on even more when I did the Museum of Natl Anthropology a few days later. 10/10 for this tour. I’ll be back.

Amazing experience and beautiful views
Amazing Experience!
If you want the best view of the pyramids, this is it! Flying directly over them was magical. The team was super well-organized, the guide was fun and engaging, and the landing was remarkably smooth. I also loved having the flexibility at the end to either explore the ruins on foot or catch a ride back to the city. Would 100% recommend it!
