Best Mexico experiences
Thang_N, October 2026
Best experience in Mexico City so much fun to do it with friends, but you could do it alone. You literally fly over the pyramids during sunrise. Mar is amazing and explain the itinerary excellently would 100% recommend and do it again. This is a must for anyone traveling to Mexico City.

Very smooth well run tour. Seemed to be very on schedule and did a great job answering questions we had. The balloon ride went off without a hitch and breakfast was quick and tasty. Never felt like we were waiting in one spot for long at all. Highly recommend.
